Top Stories: Nest Wifi usage appears in Google Home, Pixel brand loyalty reportedly drops, OnePlus Watch won’t run Wear OS, and more.
Coinciding with the announcement of the second-gen Nest Hub, the Google Home app has been updated with increased functionality for the Nest Wifi family of devices. As of the update, you can now access a new “speed and usage” section in the Network info, with graphs for individual devices as well as the network as a whole. These Nest Wifi usage graphs were previously a big omission for the Google Home app. That information was only available in the old Google Wifi client, which is now ripe for deprecation. Last year, Home added advanced Wifi settings and the ability to import existing networks. A new report came out this week, suggesting that far fewer Pixel owners will buy a Pixel as their next phone, dropping from 84% down to 65.2%. By stark contrast, from the same report,92% of iPhone owners surveyed said they would buy another iPhone as their next smartphone.
