A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I find it funny how "[bringing] the Android brand to the 2020s" means bringing back gradients. What's old is new again.

Looks a bit like it's a page targeted at iPhone users. I hope it doesn't spread. 😆

Worth noting: brands rebrand when they want to distance themselves from their old associations. I feel like Google is constantly rebranding to keep us from noting how grody they can be. That said, I use an android phone because I have a teracube and what the fuck else am I going to do for $300?

I can never comprehend how the people authoring these articles fail to include a comparison image of what it looked like before.

Android Police used to actually be good with stuff like that, but they've been going downhill for a while now, and the purchase didn't help with that either.

Seems like they went full circle. I like it.
