Google finally announced the first Android 12 beta at Google I/O 2021, and it could represent the biggest update to Android in a number of years. The new operating system brings with it an all-new theming system called Material You, a revamp to many elements of the user interface, and more.
Now that Android 12 has been out for over a week, we've had a real opportunity to go over the features that are present in the Android 12 beta so far. Eventually, the consumer release of Android 12 will get even more features, but already, the Android 12 beta currently available gives us a pretty good idea of what the final version of Android 12 will look like. And there's a lot to like.
Here are our favorite features in Android 12 so far — note that we're only considering features that are actually available in the Android 12 beta, not features that have been announced, but we can't yet try for ourselves. |

Apple's high-end AirPods Pro true wireless earbuds could be getting a refresh in 2022 that gives them the ability to track your workouts, according to a new Bloomberg report.
The report also repeats previous claims that Apple is readying a new, entry-level set of AirPods for later in 2021 that will borrow their design from the current AirPods Pro.
Citing "people with knowledge of the matter," Bloomberg claims that the next AirPods Pro will include updated motion sensors with a focus on fitness tracking. |

Twitter has quietly confirmed the existence of its Twitter Blue subscription service, dropping a reference to it in its listing on the iOS App Store. Under the in-app purchases section at the bottom of the listing, the social media company says Twitter Blue will cost $3 a month.
At the current time, it seems the feature is being made available to select users as part of a test phase, according to Jane Manchun Wong, the app researcher who earlier this month broke the news of the incoming subscription service. |

TIPS, TRICKS, & TECHNIQUES |
Keeping your computer clean is a necessary habit. Over time, your computer — especially your monitor — collects dust and debris. Not to mention passing germs from sneezing and coughing. While fingerprints are bad enough, the eye strain from a messy monitor is even worse.
Cleaning your monitor is also a bit more involved than a simple wipe-down, and there are certain products you shouldn't use. In this article, we're going to talk about the right way to clean your computer monitor. |
