With developer verification, I’m struggling to think of Android as a proper smartphone platform

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-29 16:20:25

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority When I first started using a smartphone, the choice between Android and iOS felt like an easy one. Sure, Apple had an attractive UI, and an early lead on third-party software support, but going the iPhone route meant living in Apple’s walled garden. And while there are absolutely benefits to that kind of approach, it just fundamentally felt wrong to me: I viewed smartphones as the next phase of general-purpose computers, and wasn’t interested in a platform loc

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Apple iPhone owners can now use the Pixel Head Start Tool to prepare their data for a switch to a Pixel 10 series phone. The feature lets you prepare your iPhone’s passwords and photos for transfer before the Pixel 10 device arrives. However, this doesn’t seem like a huge upgrade over previous transfer solutions. Google launched the Pixel 10 series last week, and the company says it’s streamlined the process of switching from an iPhone to a Pixel 10 s

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 family’s Daily Hub feature can be sideloaded on phones from other manufacturers. We sideloaded the app on Samsung and vivo phones, and it generally worked as expected. Daily Hub is effectively Google’s take on Samsung’s Now Brief. The Pixel 10 phones have a Daily Hub feature, which is basically Google’s attempt at the Samsung Now Brief feature.

The 2020 book is based on William Shakespeare and his wife as they grieve the loss of one of their children, which would go on to inspire Hamlet. It makes sense that after making a movie where the Academy Award-winning director’s voice felt pulled in many directions, a more intimate movie would be her next choice.

Astrophysicists find no 'hair' on black holes

According to Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, the behavior of a black hole depends on two numbers: how heavy it is, and how fast it is rotating. And that’s it. Black holes are said to have “no hair” — no features that distinguish them from their fellows with the same mass and spin. With new data, it has started to become possible to test this no-hair conjecture. Astronomers have detected hundreds of signals from colliding black holes over the past 10 years.
