Somebody Save Google... and Apple, too

Android Police

We're on a rager of a tear this week on the Android Police podcast. Android 16 Beta 3 has cleared the post, but one of its headline features has drawn the ire of those who have had the displeasure to attempt to parse iOS's Notification Summaries. We get upset with Apple-centric media and its failure to properly cover the company's failures (that means you, too, Gruber). And if that hasn't caused an uproar with you, you'll want to brace for an AI takeover in Google Search — not that it hasn't already begun. All that plus a touch of Sonos trashing and some positive notes about the Pixel 10 series on the show!
