Android Police

Learning to love Liquid Glass


Listen Later

The Android Police podcast baits you with a title full of roasted crow, but the underlying gnashing of teeth remains the same. True, it turns out we didn't hate Apple's new aesthetic as much as we'd thought we would, but it's also carrying way too much baggage that either is neglected or is sweatily avoiding a fix. We'll get to some iPhone 17 Pro Max thoughts, but not before we cut through an onslaught of smart homewarming from Google and Amazon, and some Snapdragon elitism from Qualcomm. All of that on this week's show!
