Google sends pre-launch invites for Pixel 10 series- Launch date and all details

Google Pixel 10 series could make an early debut this year, and the Mountain View-based tech giant is sending early invites for an exclusive pre-launch experience. Previously, the Pixel phones were announced in October. However, the timeline crashed with Apple's September launch of the new generation iPhone. Therefore, in 2024, the Google Pixel 9 series was launched in August, gaining much traction and popularity. Now, the upcoming Pixel 10 series is expected to make an early debut with Google calling superfans to the Pixel Penthouse for an exclusive experience. Therefore, if you are planning for a flagship upgrade, then you may want to wait for the new generation Pixel models. Also read: Google to let users test Android 16 desktop mode on phones with external display support, here's how Google is reportedly sending invites to 25 lucky Superfans for an exclusive pre-launch event to experience the new Pixel lineup. This event is taking place on June 27, 2025, in London, enabling fans to experience the latest features and upgrades to Android 16 as well as the Pixel 10 series models. It is suggested that the event will last for 90 minutes, followed by a Q&A session. However, to become among those 25 Superfans, invitees have to answer a few questions by Google, such as 'What is your favourite Pixel feature and why?', 'What does being a Pixel Superfan mean to you?', 'When purchasing a Pixel, what information or offers do you look for?', and more. The 25 lucky winners will be announced on June 11, based on the responses. This revelation suggests that Google could launch the new Pixels late in June or in early July.

The smartphones will likely be powered by the Tensor G5 chip, which will likely be built on TSMC's second-generation 3nm node process. This year, the standard Pixel 10 model is expected to get a major camera upgrade with a new 11MP telephoto lens, whereas the Pro models could offer similar features. With the new generation, we can also expect new AI upgrades and greater on-device integration to Pixel 10 models, which makes the series even more exciting. Therefore, the new generation model could launch with several upgrades early this year.

WWDC 2025 expected to be smaller in scale, fewer AI announcements likely

Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in 2025 is anticipated to be a more "smaller-scale" event compared to its predecessors, according to recent reports. The subdued outlook is primarily attributed to the absence of significant new hardware releases and growing internal concerns about Apple's position in the rapidly evolving generative AI landscape. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is holding back on big AI reveals, leading some employees to worry that the event may be a 'letdown' in terms of artificial intelligence advancements. Why WWDC 2025 will be smaller In recent years, WWDC has often been a platform for Apple to unveil groundbreaking new devices alongside its software advancements. However, for WWDC 2025, the report suggests that there are no major new devices ready to ship. This absence of a "one more thing" moment in hardware is expected to temper the usual excitement surrounding the conference. No Major Hardware Launches – Unlike WWDC 2023, which introduced the Vision Pro, and WWDC 2024, which unveiled Apple Intelligence, this year's event is unlikely to feature groundbreaking devices. Limited AI Progress – Apple is not expected to showcase significant AI advancements , potentially falling behind competitors like OpenAI and Google. Focus on Software Redesign – The biggest highlight will be a visionOS-inspired UI overhaul across iOS 26, iPadOS 26, macOS 26, tvOS 26, and watchOS 26, featuring glass-like translucent elements. What to expect at WWDC 2025 Despite the scaled-down nature of the event, Apple will likely introduce: Swift Assist Updates – Enhancements to Apple's developer tools. Rich Text Editor for SwiftUI – A new feature aimed at improving app development workflows. On-Device AI Models for Developers – Apple may allow third-party developers to embed its AI models into apps, though these models are smaller and less powerful than OpenAI's or Google's offerings.

iPhone 17 is said to use the same chip as iPhone 16: What this means for you

The iPhone 17 series is likely to launch in September 2025, and leaks have already started painting a picture of what users can expect from the next iPhone lineup. Among the more surprising revelations is that Apple may not offer a newer chip on the base iPhone 17 model. As per a research note shared by analyst Jeff Pu with GF Securities, the entry-level iPhone 17 will be powered by the same A18 chip that is being used by the standard iPhone 16 A18 chip, produced using TSMC's second-generation 3nm process (N3E), is no slouch in terms of efficiency and performance. However, if Apple does not upgrade the chip on the iPhone 17, it could disappoint some users, especially those expecting meaningful year-on-year improvements. But this move isn't new for Apple. We've seen a similar strategy before, with the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14. Both shared the same A15 Bionic chip and had identical camera and display specs. The iPhone 14 launched at the same price as its predecessor, but the lack of significant upgrades led to criticism about a perceived lack of innovation. Apple appeared to respond with the iPhone 15, which introduced a 48-megapixel main camera, a newer chip, a slightly different design and some other refinements, all without a price hike. In India, the iPhone 13, 14, and 15 were each introduced at Rs 79, If the iPhone 17 indeed uses the same chip as the iPhone 16, it's likely that Apple will retain the same pricing strategy. So, buyers can expect the iPhone 17 to launch at Rs 79,999 in India, while the iPhone 16 may receive a Rs 10,000 price cut after launch, similar to previous years. That could put the iPhone 16 at around Rs 69,999, making it a tempting Apple is expected to introduce some notable changes in areas other than the processor. For one, the iPhone 17 is rumoured to feature a 6.3-inch display, slightly larger than the 6.1-inch screen on the iPhone 16. More importantly, the phone may finally get ProMotion support, bringing a 120Hz refresh rate to the standard iPhone model for the first time. This would make scrolling and video playback much smoother, addressing a long-standing gap between the standard and Pro the camera front, Apple is tipped to double the resolution of the front camera, moving from a 12-megapixel to a 24-megapixel sensor. This should result in sharper and more detailed selfies, a change that could appeal to younger users and content creators. The rear camera is likely to remain a 48-megapixel unit, without the 5x telephoto zoom found on the Pro details for the iPhone 17 remain unclear, but with a larger display on the cards, Apple may opt to fit in a bigger battery than the 3,582mAh unit seen on the iPhone 16 short, the iPhone 17 could be more about refinement than reinvention, at least for the base model. While the lack of a new chip may come as a let down for some, upgrades like a smoother display, improved selfie camera, and possibly better battery life might still make the iPhone 17 a compelling choice, provided Apple holds the line on pricing. But, all these details are based on the leaks. Hence, people are advised to take them with a pinch of salt. But, users can stay tuned to India Today Tech for all the updates regarding the upcoming iPhone 17 series.
