One day later as usual (because of Labory Day in the US) but here it is now: The Android Security Bulletin for September is out!

Also includes some minor functional improvements for Pixel devices:

And another little note: Seems like Google has stopped providing patches for Android 6.

This should further clean up the app ecosystem. Fun fact: There are actually preinstalled apps on the devices of major manufacturers that have target APIs below this threshold. Also: Fortnite.

Oh crap. I was really hoping for this one :(

Motorola finally doing the right thing.

This is the one for Notch-haters ;)

A new generation of Wear OS is coming. And it sounds like Google finally made some real improvements with a focus on Google Fit and proactive Assistant infos. Let's hope this finally is the improvement that Wear OS so desparetly needs right now.

Dear Google: Playing with your company colors in icons - yeah, nice idea. But as much as I love simple design, what you are doing here just feels plain lazy.

(At least it's better than the Youtube Music icon that is triangle in a red circle surrounded by a white circle surrounded by a red circle surrounded by a white circle)

LG finally decides to tip its toes into Android One waters. Good.

Lines up with some mumblings I've heard before. So: Mark your calendars ;)

In the most non-surprising twist of the year Epic gloriously fcked up Android security with their Fortnite installer.
Btw: Extra props to Samsung for providing a private API to Epic that allowed them to install the Fortnite app (and via this bug: anything) without any permission check for the users.
