Gmail Smart Replies are changing again, and Google's version goes way beyond short phrases
One of the biggest updates is coming to Gmail's smart replies. Instead of offering short and generic suggestions like "Sounds good" or "Thanks," Gemini will now pull context from your past emails and files in Google Drive. That means if you're replying to someone about a shared document or an ongoing conversation, the AI can suggest responses that include more specific details. It also learns your usual tone, whether it's formal or more relaxed, so replies can sound more like you. Gemini is also stepping in to help manage your inbox. If you're buried under unread messages or old emails, the AI can now help clean things up. You can ask it to delete or archive emails based on certain criteria, like 'Delete all unread emails from last year from The Groomed Paw.' It's a way to get through inbox clutter without doing it all manually.Another improvement focuses on scheduling. Trying to set up a meeting with someone outside your company usually means a lot of back-and-forth emails. Gemini now recognizes when you're trying to schedule something and can suggest times or even help you share your booking page directly from Gmail. This could cut down the time it takes to confirm a meeting.The smarter replies are expected to roll out later this year, but the inbox cleanup and scheduling tools are coming sooner, sometime in the next quarter. Google shared these updates as part of its larger push to bring Gemini into more of its Workspace apps. This isn't just about Gmail — it's part of a bigger effort to create an AI system that works across your daily tools such as Docs, Drive, and Calendar.
These updates won't change how Gmail looks, but they could make common tasks like replying, organizing, and scheduling a bit faster. For anyone who deals with a lot of emails every day, that may be a welcome change.

T-Mobile may be misleading customers into spending more with new switch offer
Last year, T-Mobile acquired Mint Mobile and the company promised to make the user experience better over time. It has mostly been delivering on the promise by extending some of the services and add-ons that T-Mobile subscribers enjoy to Mint customers. However, now that the honeymoon phase is over, T-Mobile is no longer trying to hide its re-carrier antics. T-Mobile is encouragingMint customers on the Unlimited plan to switch to T-Mobile Essentials. While there's nothing wrong with that per se, what's questionable here is the way the company is going about it. Mint claims customers will end up saving money by switching from Unlimited to T-Mobile Essentials. | Image Credit - Stetson Doggett For starters, Mint users are being given the impression that the prepaid brand doesn't mind them switching to another company if it means they will save money. That comes across as dishonest, considering T-Mobile now owns Mint, so it's not "someone else," as Mint has implied. Secondly, and worst of all, customers are getting told that they will save money by switching, which is not true, considering Mint's Unlimited plan costs $30 a month, while T-Mobile Essentials starts at $55 per month. Sure T-Mobile 's Essentials plan may provide more value to some customers, considering Unlimited offers 35GB of 5G data, while Essentials includes 50GB of premium data, and T-Mobile customers can also participate in T-Mobile Tuesdays for free stuff. In reality, Mint Unlimited is nearly half the price of T-Mobile Essentials However, better value is not the same as savings, and yet, T-Mobile -owned Mint is brazenly claiming that customers will save money by switching to T-Mobile . —sonic_anon_hog, Reddit user, June 2025 Since Mint runs on T-Mobile 's network, it's not like customers will get better coverage by migrating. When the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the Mint deal, it noted that the acquisition would allow Mint to lower prices. And while Mint hasn't technically raised prices, it's still trying to get customers to pay more by misleading them into switching, which is the opposite of what the FCC had envisioned. We have asked T-Mobile for a comment and will update the story as soon we get a response. Switch to Total 5G+ Unlimited 3-Month plan or Total 5G Unlimited and get a free iPhone.

Google's Pixel 10 series could be released even later than previously reported
How much of a difference can a few days make for an unannounced and unreleased mobile device (or four)? Well, Google's Pixel 10 quartet of ultra-high-end Android smartphones looked set for an unusually early June or July launch on Saturday, slipping to a far less surprising and familiar-sounding August 13 announcement date by Monday and an even later ETA today. While there's obviously no way to know if the initial rumor about a super-early Pixel 10 series launch (and release) had any credibility, Google apparently did plan to unveil its next big iPhone alternatives on the same date as the Pixel 9 lineup last year, but then revised the entire schedule for unknown reasons. These are more than just educated guesses, mind you, as multiple inside sources have purportedly confirmed the new dates... which doesn't mean they can't be changed again down the line. After all, August 28 is still nearly three whole months away, so Google is almost definitely not done testing the Pixel 10 , Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold for software issues and even hardware flaws. The Pixel 10 is now expected to see daylight on August 20. Keep in mind that this is a company that unveiled the Pixel 9a mid-ranger in March without an exact release date, despite almost certainly planning to kick off pre-orders on launch day. Ultimately, Google's cash-strapped fans weren't kept waiting very long for the search giant's latest budget 5G phone, but clearly, similar last-minute delays are also possible for the Pixel 10 family. Hopefully, though, Big G will be able to release all Pixel 10 variants at the same time, which was unfortunately not possible for the Pixel 9 quartet last year. While the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL started shipping just nine days after their August 13 announcement, the compact Pixel 9 Pro powerhouse and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold only went on sale in September 2024, disappointing a lot of eager early buyers. Before marking the revised August 20 pre-order and August 28 release dates in your calendar... apps, I'm pretty sure many of you would like to know if Google's 2025 Android high-enders are worth the wait. Believe it or not, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could prove to be a very smart buy, at least compared to some of the competition for the best foldable title this year, if its starting price is indeed $1,600. That's clearly not what I'd call affordable... by conventional high-end smartphone standards, but for a state-of-the-art book-style foldable device, it wouldn't be half bad, undercutting last year's Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and presumably this year's Galaxy Z Fold 7 as well. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be cheaper than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold it so strongly resembles. Of course, that's just an early and impossible-to-verify rumor, as are the $799, $999, and $1,199 price points of the Pixel 10 , Pixel 10 Pro , and Pixel 10 Pro XL respectively in their entry-level configurations. If they prove accurate, those numbers would put the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro in line with their predecessors while oddly enough making the Pixel 10 Pro XL $100 costlier than the Pixel 9 Pro XL in its most affordable variant. The entire Pixel 10 family, remember, looks very similar to the Pixel 9 series in all those leaked renders from the last couple of months, and in the absence of many substantial under-the-hood upgrades, it will certainly be difficult for Google to justify any price hike. But again, nothing is etched in stone just yet, and that includes the newly rumored August 20 announcement and August 28 release dates.
