What happened here....

Can someone explain, why are those countries more effected by this than others?

Delay in posting my one comment.

They will be the first test-tube countries before this rolls out globally in 2027.

Capitalism. shrugs

is this different from the needing to wait 24 hours to install unverified apps thing? Cuz that already rolled out to my old ass Galaxy Note 9 this past week and I'm not in (nor is the phone from) any of those countries

Ah, I see like 7 comments you'd posted that all got deleted

Latency is one hell of a drug.

Will poor countries ever learn?

At the end of the day android is dogshit. Lets just move on. Fuck your app muthafucker

What was their alternative? Android phones are cheap and accessible (at least they were)

I already have, I got my Graphene install.

What do you suggest instead beside a FOSS android OS?

If you say apple I'm blocking you.

It’s more so the manufacturers than poor hard working citizens of the global south.

Lmao didn't even notice.

Whoopsies

Ah yes, Singapore famously cheap and poor at over $100k GDP per capita.

Great, now I'm a guinea pig

Yeah Singapore was the first British colony where average income exceeded Great Britain.

Same, as much as i love it, i'm not too happy with tge pixel underneath it. I feel like it's a matter of time until google says no.

Singapore? Poor?

Yeah, but read it again. This isn't Singapore. It's Singpore. They so broke they can't afford the A, LOL.

Must be a knock off. Singapore's all about getting those A's.

Pre-1960 they had to sing to stop being poor.

Singapore has the ultimate Asian parent stories.
