I don't understand what's going on in Google's mobile division. Android 12 is filled with bugs that aren't fixed months after release. The Pixel 6 came with a terrible fingerprint scanner. They released a completely botched update for the Pixel 6 that broke basic cellular connectivity, and it took more than a month for a fix. Feels like this part of the business isn't a priority for them anymore.

I’ve always read that Google’s internal incentives discourage maintenance and encourage novelty, and that this is why from the outside google is just an endless churn of product redesigns and replacements.

I have a pixel 6 pro, the assistant immediately crashes if I try to use it. Has been like that for months. One would think google would prioritise that feature for bug fixes.
