Revision history [back]

In the blog post presenting Sailfish X for Jolla 10, Jolla also announced that the Android support for Xperia X will not be updated. In the comments, a Jolla employee points out that the system is still fully supported on the Jolla 1 and updates are still being provided, six years after release.

I realize that the two things might have different costs in terms of person-hours, but clearly this is a business decision that would not makes sense if the user base of Jolla 1 were negligible compared to that of Xperia X. This surprises me, because I would have expected the Jolla 1 to be going the way of the Dodo by now.

Does anyone have an estimate of how many people still use the JP1 regularly, today in 2019, compared to Xperia X users?

For instance, the developer of a popular app or website might have logs from their users that include the hardware type. And, of course, Jolla surely knows this information.
