BlackBerry Priv stock apps show up on Google Play before launch

BlackBerry’s getting ready for the launch of its new Priv smartphone. Some of the stock apps for the new phone have showed up on Google Play Store ahead of the full launch of the phone. The six apps already up include: BlackBerry Launcher, BlackBerry Keyboard, BlackBerry Services, BlackBerry Password Keeper, BlackBerry Camera, and DTEK by BlackBerry.

None of the apps are downloadable at the moment but having the apps broken out of the system means BlackBerry is free to issue updates when they need to instead of having to wait for device updates. And this could also mean that they can make these apps available to other Android devices as well in the future.
