Wear OS might soon allow you to backup your watch faces, tile positions, apps, and more

Wear OS is the go-to operating system for smartwatches in the Android ecosystem unless you're looking at the likes of a Xiaomi or Fitbit fitness band. However, there's no easy way to switch from one Wear OS device to another, and you'll need to reset and start again whenever you move over. There's no easy backup system, unlike when you want to switch from one Android smartphone to another. That's set to change, as an APK teardown conducted has shown us what data is likely to be transferrable in the near future.

Apple has indeed nerfed ANC on the AirPods Max through an automatic software update

Apple is a business that manufactures high-end products. There's no denying that the hardware this company puts out is durable and built from premium materials. However, software can play a major role in determining how well a certain device behaves. So if you despise iOS, for example, using a great iPhone won't be a pleasant experience. Similarly, sometimes a software update throttles the performance of a certain product — which makes it feel more dated. Things become exceptionally problematic when, firstly, Apple isn't transparent about it, and, secondly, when there's no way to block it.
