Android Auto could soon let you arrange the apps you see

If you feel overwhelmed about the number of apps Android Auto shows on your in-car home screen, then this update might be a welcome addition for you. In a recent app teardown by Android Policethe site found that there is mention of a new setting to let you reorder as well as hide apps on the interface. Google took out multiple app drawers and replaced this with a large grid, which shows all your apps and leads to a cluttered interface. But as the teardown suggests, that might change soon. Not only will you be able to hide the apps you don't need while you're in the car, but it'll let you float up top your favourites and the ones you do use often.

After it was first announced in 2016 and discontinued last year, there have been whisperings about the comeback of the iPhone SE. Fanning the flames anew, long-time Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports that iPhone SE 2 will return in the first quarter of 2020. And it'll have the iPhone 8's looks, but with a new Apple A13 processor. It'll reportedly run on iOS 13, and it'll also have 3GB of RAM and have a 4.7-inch screen. Pricing will supposedly start at US$699 (approx. CA$930).

The revival of the iPhone SE could signal that Apple is ready to drop the iPhone 8 line as well as encourage iPhone 6 users to upgrade. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus no longer support iOS 13. The new hardware with an "old school" iPhone look could entice them to switch.
