Pine64 September update

Note that pinephone's kill switches are not as useful as librem 5's ones, because you can't easily switch them on the go. The switches are inside the phone, so you have to open it, and they're so tiny that you need a toothpicker or a needle to switch them.

It should be noted, however, that the Pinephone's cover is designed to be easily removed. And I have had no problem flipping the kill switches with my house keys that I am always carrying with me anyway.

Yes, compared with iPhones or Android phones, but not really. It requires two hands and at least several seconds. You will definitely miss that cool photo moment.

I've been wanting to cut a little window in the back cover to get access to those, plus another to ventilate the SoC.
