I thought the fairphone 4 was getting official support for Ubports, but I haven't heard about it in a while.
Was really hoping that would come true and that we could see the fruits bear of ubports be on a modern spec'd device.
Ever since version 3 of their phone I've been considering one of these but my needs are slightly different. But I love the idea of having such a flexible device.
I find the "gotta have the jack" camp quite amusing. As wireless protocols become better and better, I don't miss having a jack on my devices. In fact I prefer not tearing the cable when moving from my pc to do something. The lack of a plug is not a net loss but also focuses the hardware to do something else. Personally I really like usb C being truly universal. One good cable can connect different devices ranging from monitors, headphones, microcontrollers, HIDs and so on. Input interfaces come and go 🤷
