Android 12

The names were not only dessert-based, but also alphabetical. The last one to be named in this fashion was Pie. They probably couldn't find a good dessert name starting with Q, so they discontinued the practice.

OS X names used to be big cats too until they ran out of good ones. Now it's locations in California. Who knows what it will be next.

Anyone else just stopped keeping track of what version of Android their phone is on?

I used to know this stuff, but these days couldn't care less.

It is remarkable the difference in awareness that android vs iOS releases produce. As a iOS user, i'm glad that iOS releases and features are pushed to me aggressively.
