Google brings back app permissions section to the Play Store

Google is rolling back its decision to remove the app permissions section in the Play Store. The feature shows what permissions an app uses. The company initially opted to replace that with its Data Safety section, similar to Apple's privacy labels.

Apple tipped to release M2-powered MacBook Pros as soon as the fall

Source: Apple

We might soon see the M2 Pro and Max processors on MacBook Pros. At least, that's what Bloomberg's Mark Gurman claims to be happening. In his weekly Power On newsletter, he said that we might see refreshed 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops as soon as this fall. The overall design might not get revamped. Instead, the focus is on bringing the second iteration of its in-house processors to the more pro-centric line of MacBooks. These chips are expected to be faster and more oriented toward heavy-duty workflows.

If the report is accurate, it suggests Apple adopts an iPhone-like release cadence. But if the company sticks to the rollout of the M1 to the M1 Pro and M1 Max chips, we might have to wait until spring 2023. We'll keep our eyes peeled for any updates with this lineup.
