Google’s smartwatch platform is officially Wear OS 3. And updates are only coming to a few current Wear OS watches, and to no Tizen watches. And they’ll be late. And problematic? Basically, Android users should not buy a smartwatch right now. Wait. https://t.co/AX0tbMU8A4 https://t.co/bVVexgyyWj — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s the new MagSafe battery on an iPhone 12 Mini. Matches the width, curve of the corners exactly. And yes, it’s thinner than the Anker. What do you want to know? Will answer what I can on The Verge later today (so will not have full charge info by then, just impressions) https://t.co/XQHgqwA8DK — PolitiTweet.org

Oh dear. This new Tweetdeck seems to have some nice features but also seems like it’s kind of a bunch of standard twitter colums strung together? I know it’s a cliche to fear change but I am a little worried! I need Tweetdeck to super information dense https://t.co/j5wMcNjWBb https://t.co/WBQNEh43js — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a very good episode where Nilay asked some really tough questions based on personal experience with the product. … A griller grilled the grillmaker. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @Vox_Plus: Verizon is also switching to Android Messages as default for RCS - @verge https://t.co/dYRL5Prfho https://t.co/YjqH1jqWjX — PolitiTweet.org

@lockheimer (RCS, like Tweets, are not editable. But I can delete and repost tweets so nyah.) — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@lockheimer Here’s the press release. Confirms what I suspected: Verizon will provide RCS services directly rather than use Google’s servers. https://t.co/mGAdAXqcQ5 — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@lockheimer This is a good point, I should have been more precise in my language, esp when talking about encryption. One-on-one end-to-end encryption is rolling out to all Android Messages users, group encryption coming. https://t.co/aHiJ3Go2Fv — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

@lockheimer: “The fallback messaging experience on the other platform will not have encryption if it’s still SMS. I think that that is a pretty interesting dynamic and I would hope that as everyone focuses on security and privacy it becomes an important part of the discussion.” — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

Interesting thing: Verizon is NOT killing off Verizon Messages+ (sadly). In fact, the goal is to have VM+ share the messages database with Android Messages like it does with SMS. — PolitiTweet.org

(sorry this isn’t rocket news but it’s still a kind of big deal) — PolitiTweet.org

Dieter Bohn @backlon

That’s three: Verizon is also going to make Android Messages the default and offer RCS Chat that’s fully interoperable, starting next year. Also, RCS group encryption is coming in addition to peer-to-peer. At some point Apple needs to say ...something? https://t.co/E8jmoWDogl — PolitiTweet.org
