Amid COVID-19 Pandemic, wave of protests in the United States has set back unveiling of some new tech products and solutions. Some of the largest companies postponed their events, calculating that it's not the best time to focus on promoting new machines and solutions.

Therefore, Google has postponed a launch of its latest mobile operating system, Android 11. The company said that the timing is not right for the move. A beta release of the OS was due to take place at a dedicated event today, 3 June, but in a Twitter post the Android developer team stated the move was put on ice because now is not the time to celebrate.

Another novelty that was to be unveiled this week was the new generation of Sony's gaming console. The company has delayed the PlayStation 5 reveal event that was previously scheduled for Thursday, June 4. Sony said that the company feels that it is “not a time for celebration and for now, we want to stand back and allow more important voices to be heard.“ Sony has not announced a rescheduled date.
