Lo and behold, the new Nest is here.
20% thinner.
Can't resist from thinking - when does it become so thin that oversized fingers of the contemporary user base will start smudging the walls?
On the positive note: latest version of Nest Mobile on Android doesn't require the right to discover accounts on the device. And indeed, the base layout is significantly better.
UPDATE: Who would've thunk it, they now sell wall plates to prevent the walls from being smudged.
