The Sony Xperia 1 VI was announced in mid-May with a promise of three OS updates and four years of security patches (the phone itself came with Android 14, of course). Here comes the first of three OS updates.
The changelog is as terse as it gets: “Android 15 OS Upgrade” and a bump to the November 1 security patch. The software version is 69.1.A.2.78. You can see the update here on the Sony UK Support page, which also has a guide on how to install the update (it’s pretty much “tap update”).

These days so many services, even full-blown apps, live in the cloud so it’s only natural to consider a cloud-first device – with that in mind, Microsoft’s new Windows 365 Link is pretty self-explanatory. It’s a device purpose-built to connect to Windows 365.
