There is no second bite at the apple

Android Police

A dramatic new kink to the Epic v. Apple tale as the judge overseeing the case is forcing the iPhone-made giant to grant consumers access to alternate payment systems for in-app purchases. The Android Police podcast is covering the shake-up in the mobile app landscape and telescoping its insights on how hubris has poisoned outputs from cohorts of the so-called Magnificent Seven. Also in our show: Samsung's Galaxy S25 is selling way better than we can get excited for, a quasi-preview of The Android Show from Google, and our carpal tunnel suffering on various mobile keyboards.
