Google's Pixel 10 phones raises the ante on artificial intelligence

Google on Wednesday unveiled a new line-up of Pixel smartphones injected with another dose of artificial intelligence that's designed to do everything from fetch vital information stored on the devices to help improve photos as they're being taken. The AI expansion on the four Pixel 10 models amplifies Google's efforts to broaden the use of a technology that is already starting to reshape society. At the same time, Google is taking a swipe at Apple's Achilles' heel on the iPhone. ADVERTISEMENT Apple so far has only been able to introduce a few basic AI features on the iPhone while failing to deliver on last year's promise to deliver a more conversational and versatile version of its often-blundering virtual assistant Siri. Without mentioning the iPhone by name, Google has already been mocking Apple's missteps in online ads promoting the four new Pixel models as smartphones loaded with AI technology that consumers won't have to wait for more than a year to arrive. Google, in contrast, has been steadily increasing the amount of AI that it began to implant on its Pixels since 2023, with this year's models taking it to another level. Taking advantage of a more advanced processor, Google is introducing a new AI feature on the Pixel 10 phones called 'Magic Cue' that's designed to serve as a digital mind reader that automatically fetches information stored on the devices and displays the data at the time it's needed. For instance, if a Pixel 10 user is calling up an airline, Magic Cue is supposed to instantaneously recognize the phone number and display the flight information if it's in Gmail or a Google Calendar. The Pixel 10 phones will also come with a preview feature of a new AI tool called 'Camera Coach' that will automatically suggest the best framing and lighting angle as the lens is being aimed at a subject. Camera Coach will also recommend the best lens mode to use for an optimal picture. The premium models — Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL — will also include a 'Super Res' option that deploys a grab bag of software and AI tricks to zoom up to 100 times the resolution to capture the details of objects located miles away from the camera. The AI wizardry could happen without users even realizing it's happening, making it even more difficult to know whether an image captured in a photo reflects how things really looked at the time a picture was taken or was modified by technology. Google is also offering a free one-year subscription to its AI Pro plan to anyone who buys the more expensive Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 10 Pro XL models in hopes of hooking more people on the Gemini toolkit it has assembled to compete against OpenAI's ChatGPT. The prices on all four Pixel 10 models will remain unchanged from last year's Pixel 9 generation, with the basic starting at US$800 and the Pro selling for $1,000, the Pro XL at $1,200 and a foldable version at $1,800. All the Pixel 10s expect the foldable model will be in stores on August 28. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be available starting October 9. Although the Pixel smartphone remains a Lilliputian next to the Gulliverian stature of the iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy models, Google's ongoing advances in AI while holding the line on its marquee devices raise the competitive stakes. 'In the age of AI, it is a true laboratory of innovation,' Forrester Research analyst Thomas Husson said of the Pixel. Apple, in particular, will be facing more pressure than usual when it introduces the next-generation iPhone next month. Although the company has already said the smarter Siri won't be ready until next year at the earliest, Apple will still be expected to show some progress in AI to demonstrate the iPhone is adapting to technology's AI evolution rather than tilting toward gradual obsolescence. Clinging to a once-successful formula eventually sank the BlackBerry and its physical keyboard when the iPhone and its touch screen came along nearly 20 years ago. Apple's pricing of the next iPhone will also be under the spotlight, given that the devices are made in China and India — two of the prime targets in President Donald Trump's trade war. But Apple appeared to gain a reprieve from Trump's most onerous threats earlier this month by adding another $100 billion on top of an earlier $500 billion investment pledge to the U.S. The tariff relief may enable Apple to minimize or even avoid price increases for the iPhone, just as Google has done with the Pixel 10 models.

Flight cancelled due to Air Canada strike? You may have more rights than you think

Social Sharing The Air Canada flight attendants strike disrupted travel for hundreds of thousands of passengers. As travellers scramble to rearrange their plans, many are seeking answers about their rights. They may be surprised to learn that passengers set to depart from most European countries have more protections than those booked on domestic flights. Here's what you need to know about your rights if your Air Canada travel plans have suddenly unravelled. You have a right to a rebooked flight Air Canada announced on Wednesday that passengers affected by flight cancellations who rebooked and paid for travel on other airlines can submit claims for reimbursement. Passengers who took another mode of transport home, such as a bus, can also submit claims. "We've adjusted our policy," said Air Canada spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick. "We want to take care of the customers and we want to be sure that if they are stranded right now, they can get home." The adjusted policy aligns with Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR). The regulations state that when an airline cancels flights due to a labour disruption, they must offer affected passengers a choice between a cash refund or a rebooked flight. "For better or for worse, you don't have to take the refund," says Ian Jack, spokesperson for the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA), a non-profit travel agency. According to the APPR, if a large airline, such as Air Canada, can't rebook you on a partner airline within 48 hours after your original departure time, the carrier must attempt to rebook you on any airline — even a major competitor. If there's nothing available, the airline must search for alternative flights at another nearby airport, and provide transport to that airport. Airlines that don't comply face hefty fines. Earlier this year, the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) hit Westjet with a $204,000 penalty for failing to rebook passengers whose flights were cancelled during a WestJet mechanics strike in 2024. During the Air Canada strike, some passengers may have found themselves stranded despite Air Canada's best efforts. That's because the carrier is the country's largest airline, and its flight attendants walked off the job during peak summer travel season. Consumer advocate Geoff White argues the lack of alternative flights for disrupted passengers highlights another problem: lack of competition in Canada's airline industry. "The reason why so many people are stranded right now is we don't have [enough] competition," said White, executive director of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre. "This has to be the wake-up call." In June, Canada's Competition Bureau stated that the country's airline industry is highly concentrated with two major carriers — Air Canada and WestJet. It called for increased competition, and recommended relaxing rules that limit foreign ownership of Canadian airlines. Passengers flying from EU countries have more rights Under the current APPR, airlines are under no obligation to compensate passengers for their hotel and incidentals if they're delayed at their destination due to a strike. "Air Canada can choose, for goodwill purposes, to help you out with that, but there's no legal obligation," said Jack. Passengers also can't claim compensation for flight delays and cancellations; the APPR considers job actions beyond an airline's control. However, affected Air Canada passengers can claim compensation for both their added travel expenses and flight disruptions if their cancelled flight departed from the United Kingdom or European Union-member countries. That's because passengers departing from those countries are covered by EU air passenger rights which provide wider protections compared to the APPR. WATCH l Passengers' travel plan disrupted by Air Canada strike: Air Canada passengers in limbo as flight attendants' strike enters 3rd day 2 days ago Another day of uncertainty awaited Air Canada travellers on Monday after striking flight attendants defied a federal back-to-work order and delayed the airline's plans to restart operations. 'We haven't slept, we've been calling, we're tired,' said one frustrated passenger trying to fly to Portugal for her honeymoon. Similar to the APPR, EU rules dictate that when airines cancel flights, passengers are owed a refund or a rebooking. EU rules also state airlines can deny compensation for flight disruptions caused by a strike. However, they specify that this exemption only applies to disputes that don't involve the airline. A strike by an airline's own staff "does not release the airline from its obligation to pay compensation," the EU states online. Passengers can choose to file compensation claims under the APPR or EU regulations. Consequently, affected Air Canada passengers who qualify under EU rules can seek reimbursement for added expenses like hotels, plus compensation of up to €600 ($965 CAD). Passengers departing from the U.K. can claim up to £520 ($970 CAD). "In Europe, the view is a lot more consumer-friendly by saying, "No, no, the airline certainly could control how it interacts with its unions and the onus should be on the airline,'" said White. "We've got a long way to go here in Canada." Jack agrees. When it comes to air travel, "if something goes wrong in Europe, you're going to get treated better than you are in Canada," he said. Where are the new rules? More than two years ago, the federal government proposed changes to the APPR that, if they had been enacted by now, might have helped out many Air Canada passengers. The proposed changes, designed to strengthen the APPR, include a requirement for airlines to cover hotel costs and incidentals during any type of flight disruption — including those caused by labour disruptions. Jack says it's unfortunate the proposed rules remain in limbo as passengers grapple with the Air Canada strike. "Sadly, it's not going to help people in this current circumstance," he said. "People would be in a better position today had the government moved forward with these [rules]." The Canadian Transportation Agency told CBC News consultations for the proposed rules wrapped up in March, and that there's no timeline yet for when they will take effect. The agency did not directly answer questions about why it was taking so long to implement the new rules. Any passengers who believe Air Canada — or any other airline — didn't honour their rights can file a complaint with the CTA. However, they may be in for a long wait for resolution; in June, the federal regulator reported a backlog of more than 87,000 air passenger complaints.
