How Apple's iOS 26 and Google's Android 16 will change our phones - The Economic Times

Apple's upcoming iOS 26 introduces a transparent, glass-like aesthetic, while Google's Android 16 emphasizes bright, bold colors.

Conversely, Apple's focus is on enhancing the visual appeal of its interface, with AI features still catching up to Android. The user experience will significantly differ based on the chosen platform.

DOJ claims green bubbles are an issue in iPhone monopoly suit

The United States Department of Justice has filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, focusing on the alleged anticompetitive practices related to its iMessage protocol. The lawsuit highlights how iMessage's default use between iPhone users creates a separation from Android users, affecting group chats and limiting messaging app options. Apple's resistance to making iMessage available on Android is cited as an obstacle to iPhone families switching to Android phones. The lawsuit also claims that Apple treats third-party messaging apps as inferior, limiting their functionality and not allowing them to be set as default SMS apps.

Indonesia bans sales of Google smartphones days after blocking Apple's iPhone 16

Indonesia has banned the sales of Google's smartphones, including the Google Pixel, due to a requirement that domestically sold phones must contain at least 40% locally manufactured components. This comes after Indonesia also blocked sales of Apple's iPhone 16 for the same reason. Consumers can still buy Google Pixel phones overseas as long as they pay the necessary taxes. Google has not yet responded to the ban. This move has been criticized as protectionism that harms consumers and investor confidence. Indonesia is known as a key market for technology investments.

A Jury Will Decide If Google's App Store Is an Unjust Monopoly

Fortnite creator Epic Games' lawsuit against Google over its monopoly on the Google Play Android app store could potentially force significant changes in how Google controls apps if they win the trial, which began this week. Google Play accounts for over 90% of all downloads onto Android phones in the US, according to state prosecutors. Epic's allegations have led to some competition regulators ordering Google to loosen its control over app distribution.
