Google is already teasing the Pixel 11 series, which will be unveiled on August 12.

Third-party app stores will soon be available through the Google Play Store in the US

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 18:38:06 +0000

Running an app store is a profitable business – one that platform makers are keen to protect.
