Google System Apps - Do you think they will go to Google Play?

[rodrigoswz]

Long ago we see that there SettingsGoogle.apk and SystemUIGoogle.apk in the Pixel ROM:



Do you think they're going to Google Play as well as Calculator, Dialer, Contacts, Clock etc.?

And another question: Do you think Google Assistant is an apk or is integrated with Google App/Framework/SystemUI?

System apps have to come with the phone, you can't install them at your choice after the phone is running. So no to the first question. (Phone, Contacts, etc., have to be there from the start.) I'm guessing that Google Assistant is an added app - whether as an apk or part of Google App or Android System I don't know.
