The tolerances are really fantastic now. No gaps! The buttons and privacy switch felt firmer, with the power button now being a bit more recessed to make accidental presses harder.
Gone is the antenna tape, proper antennas are now around the device. Stronger battery shield. There were some design changes made to the interior (TOH2 side) to hopefully give any prospective TOH2 hardware designers in the community some more flexibility. I'll let Jolla dive into that since you never know if it'll evolve further beyond the iteration I saw.
The Other Half 2 cover is now using an orange resin and not just a white base + color being painted on. It looks _more_ orange as one might expect. TOH2 snaps firmly into place now thanks to improvements to the tolerances.
I'm really looking forward to July to get my hands on a finalized model!

Android is looking like it's going to ban 3rd party stores like F-Droid this fall. What does the repository model look like for Sailfish OS?
-
@ermo @jolla The model is: Do what you want, it's your device.
You can install native apps from the Jolla Store, OpenRepos, Chum (thanks @piggz), etc. You can get an RPM from someone off the street if you're brave enough and flash it to your device. I don't personally know how trivial it is to set up your own OBS and repo, but if Chum exists then clearly you can
Software Packaging
Sailfish OS collaborative documentation platform (CoD)
Sailfish OS Documentation (docs.sailfishos.org)
For Android apps, you can install apps with F-Droid, Aurora (open source Google Play Store client), etc. When running them with microG (not required ofc) than just running them on top of Google's Android, I'd argue you're in a better and more privacy respecting position since you're using a reputable open implementation of the services, and APIs like for Maps are swapped for privacy respecting options e.g. MapLibre.
