    The author makes several statements about the imminent release of Android 15 based on the minor changelog and Google's beta development timeline. This is an example of an Appeal to Authority fallacy as the author is assuming that because Google has announced a public release is near, it must be true. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by stating 'it seems like a stable release is right around the corner' and 'we wouldn't be surprised to see Android 15 make its public debut on August 13'. These statements are not based on any evidence and are simply speculation.
    • ]Google announced the new version on Reddit today, noting that it has a build number of AP31.240617.010 on most devices and ships with the July 2024 security patches.[
    • The fact that Google is pushing out such an insignificant bug fix release as we close out the final month on its initial Android 15 development timeline bodes well for a potential August launch of Android 15 stable.
    • We wouldn't be surprised to see Android 15 make its public debut on August 13 at Google’s next hardware event.
