Google has finally put the finishing touches on Android 13 and started rolling it out to supported Pixel phones (Pixel 4 series and later, note that updated Pixel 6 models cannot be downgraded to v12). Of course, Pixel phones are favored when it comes to update speed. Other manufacturers have also started recruiting testers for their Android 13 implementations: Xiaomi, OnePlus, vivo and iQOO and others.

The other major news this week is the report that Apple will unveil the new iPhone 14 series on September 7 (with sales starting on September 16).
