> Android’s new Dark theme uses true black to keep your battery alive longer. None of the screenshots around the caption seem to use "true black", though!

How could you even tell without an organic LED screen?

While you can't tell it's "true" black without an OLED, it's clearly a dark grey.

Wow, the bar at the bottom is a rip-off of iOS

That's equally absurd that a horizontal bar is a rip-off and that Google ripped it off. I've been running my Samsung with only gestures for months now, I can't see a reason to need something like that.

How will Google avoid being sued (like Amazon / Audible is being sued https://www.reuters.com/article/us-amazon-com-lawsuit/top-u-... ) for the "Live Caption" feature?

For example by making it a feature that isn't exclusively used for books?

I suspect it's implemented using the new Playback Capture API (https://developer.android.com/preview/features/playback-capt...) which provides an opt-out, too.

With a photo editor. #000000 or bust!

This should be available for Pixel phones sometime today, right?

Yes, and other Android phones probably never, except some current flagships who'll get it in 6+ months.

Some phones in the Android One program should also have a decent chance of getting it quickly. Everything else will probably get quite a few of the features from the closed source parts of Android that are shipped by the Play Store anyway.
