Dan Moren of Six Colors is in this week for Tech News Weekly with Mikah Sargent. Apple will likely raise the prices of its products in the future. Roku is being bought by Fox. Android 17 arrives for your smartphone! And could your devices come pre-installed with backdoor software?

  • Mikah laments the potential acquisition of Roku by Fox in a $22 billion cash-and-stock deal.
  • Patrick Holland of CNET joins the show to talk about Android 17 and the new features within the operating system.
