I’ve been praising Samsung DeX for years now, only to be thrilled when Android 16’s desktop mode was quietly revealed at Google I/O 2025 earlier this year. And now that the Pixel 10 has finally arrived, I got the chance to check out this hidden Android 16 desktop mode for myself — and it puts Apple on notice with the iPhone 17.
We’re less than a couple of weeks away from Apple’s ‘Awe Dropping’ event on September 9, when the company presumably should take the wraps off its iPhone 17 lineup. I’m excited for what we’re in store this year, as rumors of an iPhone 17 Air could inject new life to the lineup, but Apple might find itself lagging behind if it doesn’t respond with something similar to the Pixel 10’s desktop mode.
