An iPhone running Android, according to Wired.

Apple must be gushing.

If the Google Nexus phones are anything to go by, then no, it won't be coming to south Africa.

Did the Pixel actually do anything innovative?

Did the Pixel actually do anything innovative?

The Pixel not being sentient, I would say no. And neither did the Pixel engineers.

Did the Pixel actually do anything innovative?

It did; It didn't get rid of it's 3.5mm headphone jack.

I discovered recently that Nova Launcher Prime can strongly imitate the new desktop look of Android Nougat in the Pixel phones. It's a much more practical way of doing things. Super stoked.

The S7 Edge would be the greatest phone of all time if Samsung released a 'Pixel' or vanilla edition.

I haven't looked into their latest flagships, but Samsung phones have been getting harder and harder to flash custom firmware on. Real bummer.
