Android is now the new Apple

» Some may be wondering why have I used an Android phone up to now compared to, say, Apple iPhone? In the beginning, it was for the following four reasons -- a headphone jack, a removable battery, the ability to insert an SD card for storage and the ability to load a program into the computer.

In other words, Google phones have now or will soon be turned into iPhones.

New tourism path for climate survival
Oped, Kamphol Pantakua, Published on 20/08/2025
