Android 16 launched this week, but many people were disappointed to find it didn't have much to it yet. It turns out that all the big stuff is coming later. Meanwhile, Apple launched iOS 26, and everyone is making fun of the new Liquid Glass look. However, you might have missed the huge demo fail during the keynote, which we found hilarious. Finally, vivo claims it is making the first Android phone that can connect with an Apple Watch. We are...skeptical.
