This week’s Android headlines; Galaxy S23 leaks, Pixel 7 Pro details confirmed, security updates raise battery questions, ColorOS with Android 13 released, favourite OnePlus feature returns, Google loses Antitrust appeal, bringing Apple’s dynamic island to Android, and more...
Google’s latest appeal against the 2018 Antitrust charge against it by the European Union has seen the revenue-sharing scheme given the green light, but other practices around the bundling of Google search and browsing apps has been confirmed:
"The original 2018 charge against Google found that the company abused its market dominance by forcing Android phonemakers to restrict how they sold their devices. Manufacturers had to agree not to sell phones using variant versions of Android not approved by Google, and to pre-install Google’s Search and Chrome apps alongside the company’s app store, the Play Store.
“...The ruling by the General Court today upheld the vast majority of the Commission’s original charges. However, the Court did find that Google’s revenue-sharing schemes with manufacturers did not constitute an abuse of Google’s market power, and so reduced the fine accordingly by roughly five percent to €4.1 billion."Apple’s big UI change is the Dynamic Island, designed to hide the pill cutout on the new iPhone 14 handsets.
"Android phones have been actively moving away from pill-shaped notches or notches of any kind, so it would make little sense for Android OEMs to implement a similar feature. But if we’ve learned something over time, anything is possible in the smartphone space, and for all we know, some iteration of the Dynamic Island might make it to Android devices in the future."
