Light Phone III Adds Camera, Opens Platform to Developers

Light Phone has assembled working prototypes of its third smartphone and announced an SDK for its LightOS platform, enabling third-party app development. The Light Phone III adds a camera—the first in the line—alongside existing calling, texting, and productivity tools on an E-ink display. The company reaches this milestone after a decade and 100,000 cumulative device sales. Whether opening the platform maintains its core minimalist value proposition remains unresolved.
