Well-deserved Retirement Plan for the Original Jolla Phone
The original Jolla smartphone from 2013 received an incredible number of 34 software updates during a lifetime of 7 years. The latest Sailfish OS update 3.4.0 will remain the last officially supported software release.
Jolla will continue to provide access to the official app store for the time being.
- Blog post by Jolla Captain Sami Pienimäki:
Netting this out, the reason @purism arguably is more important to us is that it is uniquely able to keep us safe as we move into this future of smartphones as the virtual us. While movies, games and pretty phones are nice, I tend to think keeping myself, my assets and my loved ones safe has far higher value. @kyle

Ouch: "They [Apple] claim it's about privacy, but it's about profit. ... We are not fooled. This is all part of a transformation of Apple's business away from innovative hardware products to data-driven software and media." https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/11/apple-moving-forward-with-plan-to-limit-creepy-user-tracking/
