Android 15 Pixel Update Delayed Until October, Says Report

Android 15 Pixel Update Delayed Until October, Says Report

Highlights

  • The official rollout of Android 15 is delayed until October.
  • Google reportedly completed testing Android 15 with Beta 4.2 two weeks ago.
  • The report claims Google is aiming to improve system stability.

It’s been two weeks since Google completed the testing of Android 15 with the release of Beta 4.2.

Many tech enthusiasts since then have been waiting for an official rollout of the latest Android.

But it turns out Google has different plans after all.

As per recent reports, Google might not officially roll out the Android 15 until October.

Online Tech News publication Android Authority claimed in one of their recent reports that the Android 15 update is now expected to arrive “possibly even in the middle of the month” in October.

Android 15 Pixel Update Delayed Until October, Says Report
Android 15 Pixel Update Delayed Until October, Says Report.

It is important to note that Google has recently released the Pixel 9 series phone with Android 14 out-of-the-box.

And while many reviewers did point out how that is extremely disappointing, users were looking forward to getting an update within weeks to update to Android 15.

According to the publication, Google is holding back the release and delaying it for almost another couple of months to “further improve the system’s stability.”

While there has been no official word from Google yet.

But assuming this report is true and Google is planning to delay the Android 15 rollout, it only means that new Pixel 9 users will have to spend more time with Android 14.

Instead of the Android 15 update, it appears the new Pixel 9 users will get the September 2024 security patch next month.

The final Beta 4 for Android 15 was released in July.

 After the successful beta testing, many experts were expecting a public release as early as August or September.

However, Google released Beta 4.2 and indicated that users should wait for the “final public stable release of Android 15 (AP3A) coming soon.”

In the meantime, Google already started testing the Android 15 QPR1 (Quarterly Platform Release 1) update.

Android 15 Beta now available for compatible Pixel devices
Android 15 has been fairly stable on the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro XL devices since the Beta 4.2 release.

Android 15 QPR1 is expected for a December release.

Despite the delay, Android 15 has been fairly stable on the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro XL devices since the Beta 4.2 release.

However, some features introduced in the Android 15 Beta have been backported to Android 14.

Android 15 is not scheduled to be a major update.

According to Android Authority, the Android 15 Pixel update won’t be available until October, “possibly even in the middle of the month.”
According to Android Authority, the Android 15 Pixel update won’t be available until October, “possibly even in the middle of the month.”

However, it includes many additions that will enhance the user experience such as a Private space, a new Material You volume panel, and enhancements to the widget picker.

Meanwhile, Android 15 is expected to hit the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) next week.

This usually coincides with the latest Android update release for the Pixel device.

However, this year there is an unusual 15-day gap between Android 12’s source code release and the Pixel update.

This gap appears to be quite far in advance.

Android 15 Eligible Devices

The Android 15 stable update will be available for the Google Pixel devices below :

  • Google Pixel 6a, 6, and 6 Pro
  • Google Pixel 7a, 7, and 7 Pro
  • Google Pixel Tablet
  • Google Pixel Fold
  • Google Pixel 8a, 8, and 8 Pro
  • Google Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL
  • Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold

Google has started the testing of the Android 15 QPR1 beta program.

Google is offering an early preview of what to expect in the December 2024 Pixel Drop.

FAQs

Q1. When will Android 15 be released for Pixel 9 devices?

Answer. As per recent reports, Google has completed testing Android 15.

The official rollout for Android 15 on Pixel devices is expected in October, possibly in the middle of the month.

Q2. Why is there a delay in the Android 15 release?

Answer. The delay in the official rollout of Android 15 is due to Google holding back the release to further improve the system’s stability.

Q3. What Android version do the Pixel 9 devices run on?

Answer. Pixel 9 series and other pixel devices will continue to run Android 14 until the official release of Android 15.

Pixel 9 users in the meantime will get the September 2024 security patch.

Q4. What new features does Android 15 include?

Answer. While not much has been revealed yet, Android 15 introduces features such as a Private space, a new Material You volume panel, and enhancements to the widget picker.

Q5. Is Google already working on future updates for Android 15?

Answer. Yes, Google is already testing the Android 15 QPR1 (Quarterly Platform Release 1) update, which is expected to be released in December.

Q6. What are the changes in the upgrade patterns of Android 15?

Google sets major Android updates for Pixel devices with the release of the source code.

This is different this time because of the merger of the Pixel hardware and AOSP teams.

Earlier the updates had between 15-days between the source code release and the Pixel update.

Q7. What is Expected Release Timeline for Android 15 ?

The source code for Android 15 (AOSP) will release next week.

The Pixel update might be delayed this year .

Google isn’t following its usual schedule with the Pixel 9 series launching two months early and four new phones instead of two, means Android 15 wasn’t set for the Pixel 9 series at launch.

It is set google will release the Android 15 update for Pixel phones in October.

This time the gap would be of 30 days or more between the source code release and the Pixel OTA update.

The release date might change, but if it occurs in October, the update is expected to be stable, as the last beta has been available for nearly two weeks.

If this timeline is correct, the Pixel 9 series and other devices will receive Android 14 with the September 2024 security patch next month.

The final public stable release of Android 15, which includes features like Private Space, a new Material You volume panel, and widget picker tweaks, was anticipated in September after earlier expectations of August.

Now that we know September 9 is the event date for Apple to launch its next lineup, we can also take an educated guess on clear timelines.

The launch date gives us an indication of two other key dates – device pre-orders and public release.

Here’s what we can assume –

  • iPhone 16 pre-orders: Friday, September 13
  • iPhone 16 release date: Friday, September 20

These dates are in line with Apple’s standard launch, pre-order and release pattern.

It is important to note that no official confirmation has been made yet and Apple could easily throw a curveball to shake things up around the iPhone release pattern.

However, it is highly unlikely for Apple to change any release date patterns this year.

It is primarily because there have been no hints or rumours about any such possibility of a change.

Usually, such rumours always come out before the event.

However, with adaptive touch enabled in the Pixel 9 series, the touch performance in these conditions is significantly improved.

According to a comparison by Android Authority, the Pixel 9 handles wet fingers much more accurately than its predecessor, the Pixel 8 Pro.

In a YouTube video, Android Authority demonstrates how Pixel 8 Pro struggles with erratic screen behaviour.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov Arrested in France; Detention Extended Amid Reactions from Free Speech Advocates

Telegram Launches with New Business Features for Enhanced Customer Interaction

Highlights

  • Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, was arrested in France, sparking reactions.
  • Free speech advocates criticise it as an attempt to control the platform.
  • Durov’s detention has been reportedly extended up to 24 hours.

French authorities arrested Pavel Durov, the CEO of the popular messaging app Telegram, on Saturday, after he arrived from Azerbaijan on his private jet at Le Bourget airport, near Paris.

While Durov is being accused of “failing to take action to curb the criminal use of his platform,” the arrest reportedly involved officers from several French agencies.

Telegram has questioned the legality of Durov’s detention.
Telegram has questioned the legality of Durov’s detention.

The arrest was jointly conducted by the Air Transport Gendarmerie (GTA), the Cyberspace Gendarmerie Command (COMCyberGEND), the National Anti-Fraud Office (ONAF), and the Border Police (PAF).

Durov faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

The news of Durov’s arrest has sparked reactions from all corners.

On one hand, reactionaries on social media claimed that France is cracking down on criminal activities facilitated by Telegram’s encrypted messaging platform.

On the other hand, however, free speech advocates like Edward Snowden and Leonid Volkov, an advisor to Alexei Navalny, have come forward to criticise France’s actions.

Free speech advocates from across the board have argued that the move is an attempt to control a platform that supports free speech.

Telegram maintains minimal oversight over its 900 million users worldwide.

Elon Musk criticized the situation, on X saying that in Europe in 2030, it looks like people are being punished for just liking a meme.

Businessman and investor Elon Musk too has expressed concerns over European authorities arresting Pavel Durov.

In multiple posts on X (previously Twitter), Musk described the arrest as an attack on free speech and demanded justice for Durov.

Musk, who sparked a lot of buzz a couple of years ago over his acquisition of American social media company Twitter, didn’t shy away from accusing Meta Founder Mark Zuckerberg of “caving into censorship pressure.”

“…..he already caved into censorship pressure. Instagram has a massive child exploitation problem, but no arrest for Zuck, as he censors free speech and gives governments backdoor access to user data,” the X owner posted.

While reactions are still pouring in, an anonymous source speaking to Agence France-Presse, France has confirmed that France extended Durov’s detention beyond the initial 24 hours.

As per French media reports, French authorities can extend detention for up to 96 hours without formally charging him.

After this period, France will either charge Durov with crimes or release him.

Meanwhile, Russian authorities have condemned France’s actions, accusing France of refusing to cooperate.

Russian news outlet Tass reported that the embassy has not received any appeals from Durov’s team but is proactively working to address the matter.

Durov is expected to appear in court on Sunday.

As per speculation, French authorities may press multiple charges on the Telegram CEO.

Meanwhile, Telegram came to its co-founder’s defence and released a statement over the arrest and current situation.

“Telegram abides by EU laws, including the Digital Services Act – its moderation is within industry standards and constantly improving,” the statement by Durov’s company reads.

The statement further mentions, “Telegram’s CEO Pavel Durov has nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe. It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner is responsible for the abuse of that platform. We’re awaiting a prompt resolution of this situation.”

Apple Might Discontinue Several Products Following September Launch

0

Highlights

  • Apple’s next launch event is scheduled for September 10.
  • Apple expected to introduce the iPhone 16 series, new AirPods and updated Apple Watch models.
  • The brand might discontinue a range of older models post-September launch.
  • Products such as the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, Apple Watch Series, and AirPods are most likely to be phased out.

Apple is setting the stage for the highly anticipated annual iPhone launch event in September.

Though officially not confirmed, rumours suggest the Apple event is scheduled for September 10.

The Cupertino Giant will likely introduce the iPhone 16 series, new AirPods, updated Apple Watch models, and possibly more during the event.

While we wait for more updates on the event, there is a whole set of older Apple products that are likely to disappear from Apple’s shelves after the upcoming launch.

Let’s take a look at the Apple products that may phase out soon.

iPhone 15 Pro & iPhone 15 Pro Max

iPhone 18 to Feature New Camera Sensor, Ending Sony's Exclusive Reign
iPhone 15 Pro series is expected to follow the tradition.

If we look at the last few years how Apple has managed its launch, the long history of discontinuing flagship iPhones just a year after their release seems like a tradition.

There is no reason to believe that Apple might not follow the same pattern this time.

So, the iPhone 15 Pro series is expected to follow the tradition.

iPhone-15-Pro-e1699560331201
iPhone 15 Pro series with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens

As the first iPhones with titanium bodies and the last with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens, these models might soon be replaced by the iPhone 16 Pro lineup.

As of now, the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro is rumoured to have larger displays.

iPhone 14 Plus

Apple iPhone 14 Plus (128GB)
iPhone 14 Plus was Apple’s entry-level large iPhone.

Apple previously introduced iPhone 12 mini and 13 minis to a lacklustre response.

Post that iPhone 14 Plus was Apple’s entry-level large iPhone.

It comes with a 6.7-inch display and long battery life.

It comes with a 6.7-inch display and long battery life.

With the iPhone 14 Plus, Apple also brought back the “Plus” branding, years after the iPhone 8 Plus was released in 2017.

However, after the launch of the upcoming iPhone 16 series, Apple will most likely keep the iPhone 14 in its portfolio at a lower price point.

iPhone 13

iphone-13-952991
iPhone 13 was introduced with various upgrades.

Launched in 2021, the iPhone 13 was introduced with various upgrades.

It came with a longer battery life and a new camera system.

The phone is now completing 3 years and is the oldest iPhone on Apple’s website.

Over the years, the iPhone 13 went through several price cuts following every new iPhone launch.

iphone-13-finish-unselect-gallery-1-202207_GEO_EMEA_FMT_WHH
It came with a longer battery life and a new camera system.

It started at approximately ₹70,000 in India and is now retailing at around ₹50,000.

Now post iPhone 16 series launch, Apple is likely to iPhone 14 as the entry-level iPhone. This indicates that the iPhone 13 may also soon be phased out.

Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE 2

Apple Unveils New Watch Series 9 in (PRODUCT)RED Variant in India
Apple will discontinue the current Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE 2 models.

New versions of all three Apple Watch models are expected next month.

The Series 10 is rumoured to have larger displays, thinner casing, and a new chipset.

For Ultra 3, we can expect minor upgrades this year.

On the other hand, the SE 3 is expected to get a plastic casing at a more pocket-friendly price.

It is extremely likely that Apple will discontinue the current Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE 2 models.

AirPods 2 and AirPods 3 

AirPods Lite: What to Expect
It was Apple’s entry-level AirPods model.

Apple introduced AirPods 2 in 2019.

It was Apple’s entry-level AirPods model.

The brand later launched AirPods 3 in 2021 with Spatial Audio, better audio quality, and other features.

Updated AirPods Max on the Cards
The upcoming mid-range model is expected to include noise cancellation.

Now Apple is expected to launch two new versions of the AirPods 4, an entry-level model and a mid-tier model.

Both will likely replace AirPods 2 and AirPods 3 respectively.

The upcoming mid-range model is expected to include noise cancellation.

iPad mini 6 and iPad 10

iPad-Mini-6th-generation-1068x601
iPad mini 6 and iPad 10 will get upgraded versions in the upcoming event.

Rumours suggest that the iPad mini 6 and iPad 10 will get upgraded versions in the upcoming event.

Certain reports suggest that the iPad 10 may be enlisted at a reduced price of around ₹30,000 before Apple launches the next-in-line iPad 11.

However, these reports are purely speculative.

Decision driven by cost considerations to maintain affordability
The upcoming iPad model is expected to come with Apple Intelligence support.

Meanwhile, the iPad mini will most likely be discontinued after the upcoming launch.

The upcoming iPad model is expected to come with Apple Intelligence support, enhanced storage and Apple Pencil Pro support.

As Apple gears up for its next big product launch, these older models may soon become a thing of the past.
