Pixel 6 owners complaining about first-party cases warping and turning yellow
The Pixel 6 Pro that yours truly is holding while typing this article is protected with a case. Yeah, this writer used to go without a case and it wasn't until yours truly bought the Pixel 2 XL in 2018 that a follow-up purchase for protection was made. And the two handsets I've purchased since, the iPhone 11 Pro Max and the aforementioned Pixel 6 Pro, both sport protection.

The Pixel 7: all stars align for Google as it can finally take on iPhones and Galaxies
The Pixel 6 launched with a brand new design, brand new chip, brand new camera sensor, and even the prices were brand new and undercut the competition! That was a lot of newness in one year, but lo and behold, Google mostly pulled it off! The Pixel 6 was and is great except for a few small kinks, and it has made a dent, but still it’s not quite the phone you find commonly on the street.

Apple says account deactivation in apps is nonsense, makes deletion an obligatory feature
It's no secret that Apple has very strict rules regarding its App Store. However, while these restrictions could make app developers' lives more difficult, they are often beneficial to us, the users. One such useful policy is the Account Deletion rule, which requires applications that allow you to create an account to also let you delete it. In January, Apple delayed the implementation of this requirement and pushed it back to June 30, 2022.

Apple often works in mysterious ways when it comes to releasing new products and keeping older ones alive or deciding to kill them off, so while the company's 2020 Series 6 smartwatch, for instance, was officially discontinued the very next year, the ancient 2017 Series 3 is somehow still around and available from many major US retailers.

Wacky rumor calls for TSMC to reuse its 5nm process node on A16 Bionic chipset
There has been speculation that due to the chip shortage, Apple will use different chipsets for the non-Pro iPhone 14 models and the iPhone 14 Pro handsets to be unveiled this coming September. Typically, Apple uses the same chip for all of the high-end iPhone models it produces during a single year. But the pandemic has led to a shortage of chips. Had this been a normal year, Apple would have used the A16 Bionic for all four iPhone 14 models.
