Android Security
Google has released the September 2019 Android Security Bulletin, giving carriers and device makers a fresh set of patches to install. Google device firmware images have also been released to the Google Developer site. Though Google puts out the Android security patches each month, the job of actually getting the fixes to end users falls on the telcos and/or device manufacturers themselves. Those partners vary in their ability to release the patches in a timely fashion.
Google has started pushing the Android 10 stable update to its Pixel smartphone. In addition, the Essential Phone and Redmi K20 Pro are the other non-Google devices receiving the Android 10 update.
Apple sent out invitations Thursday for a media event next month where the company is expected to unveil its latest iPhone models. The event is scheduled to take place September 10 and will be held at the Steve Jobs Theater at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California.
Huawei is set to unveil its new Mate 30 line of phones on Sept. 18 in Munich, though it is not clear when the devices will go on sale. What appears to be clear is that the devices will not be shipping with key Google apps and services.
