They never stopped being codenamed after desserts
What were the code names for Android 10-15?
10 to 15, Quince Tart, Red Velvet Cake, Snow Cone, Tiramisu, Upside down Cake, Vanilla Ice Cream
"As a global operating system, it’s important that these names are clear and relatable for everyone in the world. So, this next release of Android will simply use the version number and be called Android 10. "

Those are internal code names only, they haven't had public facing sweet code names since Android 9.
Of course they are internal code names. That's what code names are.
Before 9 they were just names.
I clearly remember KitKat and so on.
What is that supposed to be (Android 14 - Tapping the Android 14 version in the settings):
A Planet sized android mascot with a helmet satellite watching you through a wormhole.
I thought Android 13 was Trucker Hat?
Baklava is love, baklava is life.
Bring back call recording. And stop closing up the platform.
Wasn't Android 15 supposed to launch in early September, or am I misremembering something?
Yeah the AOSP version did launch in early September.
The Pixel release should come in a few weeks.
As a Pixel 8 Pro owner, I'd love to see it before November.
I would have preferred the tagline "Honey Bunny, fill your life with laughter and bees."
