The Pixel 9a’s 0% Price Hike On The Android Police Podcast

Tariffs, tariffs everywhere. On the Android Police podcast, 9to5Google’s Ben Schoon joins Will to discuss who’s paying how much for what: which Android manufacturers might be the most exposed in North America, how much more the OnePlus Watch 3 is costing new buyers today, and did Apple actually need to pack cargo planes full of Indian-made iPhones to beat the deadline that got delayed? Also on the show, we focus on the state of tech ecosystem lock-ins and pick our favorite flicks to play on the Vegas Sphere.
