Google's new app might stop you from making your next regretful purchase
There's a new app from Google and this one is all about saving you from those regretful online purchases. You know, the ones you return right after trying them on because they just didn't look right?
Earlier this year, Google Shopping introduced virtual try-ons for clothes using your own photo – and now, Doppl takes that to a whole new level. The new experimental app builds on that tech, letting you try on outfits using photos or even screenshots.If you spot a look you love on Instagram, your favorite creator or even in a thrift shop window, just snap a pic, upload it to Doppl and you'll see how it might look on you.
But it doesn't stop there – Doppl also uses AI to turn static outfit images into short videos. So, instead of just seeing how something might look in a still photo, you get a more dynamic, realistic feel for the outfit in motion. That is a pretty big upgrade from traditional virtual try-ons.

I believe Reels and TikToks are about to be packed with Doppl-created fashion videos – because why not flex a fresh look without spending a dime?
Doppl is still in its experimental phase under Google Labs, so don't expect perfection just yet. The fit, textures and how the clothes look might not always be spot on. But that's the whole point of Labs – test things out, get feedback, and improve from there.
Right now, Doppl is only available in the US for both iOS and Android. And sure, some fashion retailer apps already let you virtually try on clothes, but Doppl feels different. It's not tied to any one brand, it gives you way more freedom to test looks. Plus, the AI video feature makes a big difference. Being able to see how an outfit moves on your body could help you decide if you really like it – before it ends up sitting in a return box.So, it could also be a win for sustainability. Fewer blind buys and fewer returns mean less waste. That said, generating all these AI videos… you know, that does take some serious computing power. Still, it's a cool glimpse at how far Google's AI has come and how it's starting to show up in everyday things like how we shop. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, Fold 7, and tri-fold availability leaked
Samsung is going to unveil its new Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 foldable smartphones next month, alongside a possible Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Availability for these phones will start shortly after, though the tri-foldable — possibly named Galaxy G Fold — will be available for purchase a little later in the year. Leaked Galaxy Z Fold 7 render. | Image credit — Evan Blass According to a report ( translated source ), the Flip 7 and Fold 7 will become available to the general public in August, approximately one month after their announcement. Samsung will be holding a Galaxy Unpacked event in New York City on July 9, where these phones will be shown off. The Flip 7 FE, though not directly named in the leak, will most likely also become available in August after being announced in July. Samsung has promised its most advanced foldable yet, and from leaks we can see that the Fold 7 makes the Fold 6 look ancient. Samsung's tri-fold will directly challenge the Huawei Mate XT. | Video credit — Huawei The tri-fold, which will see a very limited release in a select few markets, will also be unveiled in July, alongside the Flip 7 and Fold 7 . However, though there isn't a confirmed date just yet, the report estimates that this phone will become available in tracks with Samsung's plans to launch it this year shortly after its other foldables, before moving on to a wider launch around the globe if it sells well. The G Fold will only see around 200,000 units manufactured for now, as Samsung has very subdued sales expectations due to the cost. According to the multiple reports we've seen till now, the Fold 7 is shaping up to be a massive leap over its predecessor. The only aspect I can complain about is the battery, which is expected to be the same 4,400 mAh as the Fold 6. It will also only charge at 25W when wired, another somewhat disappointing remnant that desperately needs an upgrade. However, seeing rival offerings like the Oppo Find N5 and the Honor Magic V5, I think it's about time Samsung caught up. Coupled with the long-term software support ( seven years ) and people's preference for One UI, Samsung could be looking at a winner here. The Fold 7 may even reverse the foldable industry's decline, though that may just be wishful thinking. If you were looking for the most advanced foldable on the market, you'd probably still do well with the aforementioned Find N5 and Magic V5. But if software support is important to you, the Fold 7 or the G Fold are your best bet. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Has it begun? AT&T to slash multiple jobs in less than three months in Alabama
Last week, we talked about the possibility of AI costing more than 40,000 employees of a British telco their jobs in the years to come – and now, AT&T layoffs are about to happen in Alabama. Deep AI integration within the day-to-day operations of telecommunication providers is not a sci-fi dream: that's the reality we're living in right now. So far, it's not officially said that the jobs slashed in Alabama are because of AI, but I personally wouldn't be shocked if such is the case. As reported by The Montgomery Advertiser, AT&T is about to lay off over 70 employees who are based in the city of Huntsville, according to the Alabama Department of Commerce. About a week ago, AT&T filed a WARN notice and the document said the layoffs will come into effect on September 20 – give or take, by the time the new iPhone 17 steps out in the WARN Act (short for Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act) is a US labor law that requires certain employers to provide advance notice before significant layoffs or business closures. Specifically, companies with 100 or more full-time employees must give at least 60 days' written notice before carrying out mass layoffs or shutting down facilities affecting 50 or more purpose of the law is to give employees time to prepare for job loss, seek new employment, or pursue retraining opportunities, and that's only natural. – AT&T spokesperson for The Montgomery Advertiser, June 2025 This certainly doesn't sound too reassuring; such "times like this" when "additional reductions are necessary" might very well come again, and not too far ahead in the telco I mentioned at the beginning of the article is BT Group, one of the UK's largest telecom companies. According to reports, BT is considering deeper workforce cuts as AI becomes more central to its operations. The company currently employs nearly 99,000 people but plans to reduce that number by at least 40,000 by 2030, with the possibility of even steeper reductions. CEO Allison Kirkby believes AI could significantly improve efficiency and accelerate these cuts beyond initial projections. This push follows earlier plans announced in 2023 to cut up to 55,000 jobs, including contractors, as part of a broader cost-cutting effort. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
