Android 16 is here
-
For the low low price of supporting a sell out company that is willingly collaborating with the Trump regime, I’ll get Android 16.
Loves me some Samsung, but am too disgusted with Google.

Besides, Cook also threw money at Trump.

And here i am with my phone still stuck on 14... I know it was a short time between 15 and 16, but still, catch up a little bit! Honestly, my only complaint about Android. I am not a fan of the pixel series either.
Edit: Never mind! I decided to check for an update and found it was ready as of early May, but for some reason, my phone didn't check. Installing now. Now to wait another 8 months for 16.

now with ios. Their quality has been dropping hard. Riddled with bugs. Notifications is still shit, cant even seperate ringtone, alert and alarm sound, moving icon on homescreen is still infuriating mess, useless app library. That is just on top of my head. I dont remember what else since i dropped ios. Now this, you can bet some liquid gonna come out of people ass.
Dont get me wrong. A16 is equally shit. Blurry mess everywhere. Thank fuck i went with graphene.

Mhh, the System Update page for 16 on my Pixel is dedicated to AI bullshit, nothing actually useful... Nice
They really need to take more time with major updates, what good is releasing a new version every year when it's just new AI slop?
schrieb am 11. Juni 2025, 08:12 zuletzt editiert vonIts all soo boring now. The two major changes I got literally yesterday was to lock out pages in te app drawer and only have a scroll and to separate quick actions and notifications...both of which were new features years ago

I so don’t regret saying fuck Google this year and getting an iPhone.

That said iphones look shit not and are too locked down. Considering linux

Nov. 2025, 10:32Yeah, so far i noticed two "new" features in Android 16; the Contacts app now lists local weather info and birthdays which is nice I guess and Themed Icons are finally not listed as being in beta anymore...
The rest is AI stuff and features that are of no use to me (which doesn't mean everything's bad but it doesn't feel like a major upgrade; more like a Pixel Feature Drop).

Nothing really useful. What I would like to see is better battery life and truly Open Source Android which can be easily degoogled and customized and works on many different devices. An entire ecosystem of Android mods, like me have for Linux. Yeah, that would be nice.

But I can’t personally look past Sundar Pichai being directly at Trump’s inauguration in the front row or how fast Google immediately caved with erasure of DEI practices.
I’ve had issues with Google since Pichai took over, but this year was just too much for me here. Yeah Tim Cook is an ass. And Apple like everyone else threw Trump bribe money to not be targeted.
Yeah Apple runs Chinese sweat shops and their products are overpriced as fuck. But with the way things are at this time, Apple is the lesser of the two evils and I can’t go against my morals and support Google anymore.
Times like these make me wish Samsung went all in on Tizen and made it actually good.
