This means:

Downloading or updating the Assistant app now gives you Gemini instead.
You can switch back to Assistant in the Gemini app settings.
This might be Google's first step towards replacing Assistant completely with Gemini.
Some users are unaware of the switch and see two Gemini apps on their phones.

Overall, this may suggest Google is phasing out Assistant and transitioning users to the newer Gemini AI technology.

Google pay and google phones are failures?

Both are THE standard for their respective industries, what you on about?

I thought they just shut down Google Pay yesterday?

I still pay with Google pay on my phone for contactless, did it literally just now. I think they just rebranded instead. Google Wallet I think it is now

No they didn't. It's just rebranded again.

Google wallet became android pay which became Google pay which became Google wallet.

iPhones define the smartphone market, but Google makes a solid runner up

You know that android is more popular than iphones pretty much everywhere apart from the US right?

Android? I think I’ve heard of it. Bunch of iPhone clones of widely varying quality. I’ve owned several of both over the years (including both original models), worked for manufacturers of both, developed software for both.. the design of the modern smartphone is based on the iPhone, which continues to be most of the best-selling smartphone models in the world. It’s great that there are options in the market, I love that. The iPhone still defines the market.
