Android is almost two decades old, but it still suffers from the same big problem. While the latest version, Android 16, is available on all supported Google Pixel phones and many of the other best phones around, its rollout to older handsets continues at a glacial pace. The latest distribution figures are an all-too-familiar reminder of this. According to a 9to5Google report, Android 16 is currently installed on a measly 7.5 percent of all Android devices. You could forgive a new operating system for this, but Android 16 launched back in June of last year! Incredibly, this is a big…

For most of my career, the defining promise of technology was information at your fingertips. The personal computer made knowledge accessible, the internet made it searchable, and mobile put it in your pocket. That shift reshaped commerce by making it easier for consumers to discover, compare, and transact.It also created a new problem. As access to information expands, decision-making becomes the bottleneck. Anyone who has turned to Dr. Google for a diagnosis knows the feeling: you don’t leave with clarity—you leave with a long list of possibilities and very little guidance on which possibilities matter.AI shifts the paradigm from information…

As part of the Trump administration’s trade policy, it is negotiating Agreements on Reciprocal Trade (ART) as a practical framework to rebalance trade relationships and expand market access for U.S. companies. Through ART negotiations, U.S. officials (e.g., at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and the Departments of Commerce and State, among others) are engaging trading partners on targeted commitments—including tariff reductions, removal of non-tariff barriers, improved regulatory transparency, and expanded investment opportunities. In exchange, the U.S. can adjust tariff levels to reflect improved reciprocity. The administration’s goal: achieve concrete, bilateral results rather than comprehensive, one-size-fits-all agreements. What makes…

However, it says, “new theme packs are coming.” Google has also dropped more hints about upcoming AI-based icon theming, which could arrive soon but would require Android 17 to work. For years now, customization has been a key focus for Android. While Android gives you granular controls over how each and every aspect of the phone looks, Google recently also added the option to apply themes to your Pixels using a single tap. That includes changing everything from the wallpaper, lock screen, audio, clock styles, accent colors, icon themes,…
