I'm not sure if this article is factually correct in claiming the privacy switch to be a physical disconnect for microphone, camera and bluetooth. IIRC Jolla advertised that the user would be able to configure the exact function of the privacy switch, which would mean that there's some system software involved.
- i_am_proteus 8mo agoThis is a very important point. Jolla's pre-order site (https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-preorder https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-preorder) states: >User configurable physical Privacy Switch - turn off your microphone, bluetooth, Android apps, or whatever you wish Unless that user configuration is via internal jumper or DIP switch, then this cannot be a hardware privacy switch.
- ttkari 8mo agoExactly. And on that list, running Android apps on SFOS is very much a software feature, imo quite unlikely to be disabled purely in hardware.
