Google Play Store Cleanup: What It Means for Users

Google just yanked 331 malicious Android apps from the Play Store. Those apps pretended to be harmless tools but were actually siphoning data, serving ads, and running phishing scams. Over 60 million downloads were logged before the purge, which shows how quickly bad software can spread.

For startup founders building Android products, the takeaway is crystal clear: security can’t be an afterthought. Run regular code audits, use Google’s Play Integrity API, and encourage users to keep their devices updated. For everyday users, stick to apps with high ratings, read the permissions list, and don’t install anything that looks too good to be true.

iPhone 16 vs iPhone 15: Which Should You Pick?

Apple’s latest flagship, the iPhone 16, rolls out the new A18 chip, a 26‑hour battery life, and a handful of smart features—all at a $100 lower starting price than the iPhone 15. The lower price is a surprise, but the iPhone 15 still beats the new model on camera hardware and display brightness.

If you’re a startup founder who relies on mobile photography for product demos, the iPhone 15’s camera edge could save you a few extra shots. On the other hand, if you value longer battery life for on‑the‑go work, the iPhone 16’s extended endurance is a win. Both phones run iOS 17, so the software experience stays consistent.

Bottom line: choose the iPhone 16 for everyday reliability and a better price, but grab the iPhone 15 if you need that extra camera punch for visual content.

Beyond these headlines, our Tech News feed keeps an eye on emerging Indian startups, new funding rounds, and breakthrough tech that could reshape the market. We’ll break down complex topics into bite‑size insights, so you can make smarter decisions without wading through jargon.
