Reaction of Zuckerberg to Apple's new Privacy policy, but not to Android's?

I might be a little late to this discussion and the post itself is out-of-the-loop worthy, but with all the highly upvoted posts concerning how much the new policy of privacy adopted by Apple can potentially harm Facebook, i got curious to why this problem hasn't been raised with Android yet.


I have switched from iPhone around Summer and never looked back until now. One of my main concerns for switching was how easy it is to make it Android more private than Apple, yet with time i realised t...

We need better bootloop practices

When Microsoft and Intel (plus so many others) headed the secure bootloader requirement on PCs there was a huge outcry from users. (1) Since that time, I haven’t seen anyone who has an easy to fix but bricked PC.
Why is this different on Android? I think it would be reasonable to require explicit permissions from users to unlock bootlock for “modifications”, but why do we need to wait for benevolent hackers to find vulnerabilities in our phones, so that we can reflash the original ROMs when ...

Song's current flagship has gone 4 months without an update in the US

The US Xperia 1 ii hasn't had an update since November 1 - the last security update in 4 whole months. While previous generation xperia phones and even the current midranger have received the Android 11 update in other regions, the $1200 flagship that isn't a year old yet hasn't received it in the US.

This is completely inexcusable and does not bode well for future support, but this has gone under the radar probably because Sony is a footnote in the smartphone world. I'm ready for this to be my...

@MishaalRahman: It seems code for the ML-based back gesture detection we spotted in Android 12 has been added to AOSP with the March Pixel Feature Drop (which is basically what used to be a maintenance release).
