Is the PinePhone only Pine-device with hardware switches?
#2
I can't speak for the others but the Pinebook Pro has them. One to shut off the eMMC, one to choose between headphones or serial console, one to turn off WiFi, one to turn off the microphone, and one to turn off the camera. The latter three aren't hardware in that you can switch them without power. The keyboard processor has to be running. But they are as good as hardware switches for isolating those devices.
