The phone is decidedly less environmentally friendly if it leads to user ditching their existing headphone and buying ones with batteries instead. This is directly related.
To your other points, check the video by Louis Rossmann about the impact and feasibility of the headphone jack, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bRdL0StldJM&t=0s https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bRdL0StldJM&t=0s. I would only repeat myself.

EH, that's a stretch. Due to the way the industry is going, most users are going to have a pair of wireless headphones anyway. And if not, they can buy a cheap adapter that they wouldn't get rid of until they got rid of their headphones. > To your other points, check the video by Louis Rossmann about the impact and feasibility of the headphone jack My other points are not against the impact and feasibility of the headphone jack though. I don't have anything against it myself. I just don't think it's reasonable to assume Fairphone is lying because Apple did, and really that seems to be the crux of your argument.
