The Google Pixel 10 series isn't launching on August 13, after all
TL;DR The Google Pixel 10 series launch date has reportedly been delayed by a week from August 13 to August 20.
News of the delay comes via the same outlet that originally reported an August 13 reveal date.
The phones will apparently ship and be available in-store on August 28.
The Google Pixel 10 series is widely expected to arrive later this year, and a report earlier this week pointed to an August 13 reveal date. It now sounds like we should expect a slightly delayed launch, though.
Android Headlines reported earlier this week that the Pixel 10 series would be revealed on August 13. However, the outlet's sources have now claimed that the event will take place on August 20.
'Our sources immediately contacted us after publication to say that it had been moved back a week to August 20,' the website explained, adding that it then contacted more sources who confirmed the new launch date.
The website explained that pre-orders would also kick off on August 20, while devices would ship and be available in-store on August 28.
This revised launch date would be a week later than the Pixel 9 family's launch date (August 13). Nevertheless, it certainly sounds like August is a lock for the new phones.

Samsung Teases Z Fold Ultra, Bing Gets AI Video, and Nothing Sets A Date—Your Gear News of the Week
Plus: Ruark has new speakers, Photoshop comes to Android and summer's finest music player gets updated. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Bing has added a new AI-powered video generation tool to its mobile app, that's built on OpenAI's Sora text-to-video model. That's a feature that, even now, is exclusive to ChatGPT subscribers—but Bing users will get it for free. The vertical video creations are 5 seconds long but aren't generated instantly—once you type in a prompt, you'll get a notification when the video is ready. The Standard generation speed is free, but you'll also be able to access the 'Fast' option 10 times before you'll need to cough up 100 Microsoft Reward points to keep using it at that speed. You can share these videos anywhere, and they'll be stored in the Bing app for 90 days. The video generation wars have been heating up over the last year. Google debuted its Veo 3 model at Google I/O in May, with significant upgrades to quality. Chinese phone brand Honor also recently partnered with Google to add a feature that converted still images in the Gallery app into 5-second video clips through Google's Veo 2 model. With the ability to now generate videos at our fingertips, it'll make it easier than ever to share exactly what you're envisioning to a friend or loved one, but it'll be even harder to distinguish what's real and what's not. Nothing Sets a Date for Phone (3) and Headphone (1) London-based Nothing took a year-long break from its top-end smartphone line after it debuted the Phone (2) in 2023. In that time, it created the Phone (2a) in 2024, which went on to be one of the company's best-selling handsets. There's already a successor for those budget phones—the Phone (3a) series—but now it's time for a new flagship from the brand. The company announced this week that it will unveil the Phone (3) at an event in London on July 1 at 1 pm ET. This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from. We have a few details so far. The phone may not have the Glyph light interface on the back anymore, though it seems like Nothing has cooked up a new dot matrix light pattern instead. The company says it'll be its first true flagship phone with premium materials, and it'll have a high price to boot: somewhere around £800. But the spotlight won't just be on a new phone. This week, Nothing also shared that it will be entering 'a new product category" at the event with its first-ever pair of headphones. Creatively dubbed Headphone (1), it'll be Nothing's first over-ears, but follows a long line of wireless earbuds. Not too long ago, Nothing announced a partnership with iconic audio brand KEF. Perhaps these headphones will be the pair's first collab. Samsung Teases a Galaxy Z Fold Ultra Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event is also expected to take place in July, and rumors abound that we'll see the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, and even a Flip 7 FE—a cheaper version of the company's flip folding phone. But Samsung took time to tease something else: an Ultra variant of its folding phone. Or so we think. In a blog post on Samsung Newsroom, the company vaguely talks about a folding device that can match the capabilities of its existing Ultra phones, like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. What remains unclear is if the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 will offer an Ultra-like experience with no compromises, or if there will indeed be a dedicated Ultra version of that phone. Until now, there have been trade-offs between the Fold phones and Samsung's Galaxy Ultra phones, with the latter offering a nicer camera experience, better battery life, and other perks like the stylus. Perhaps Samsung has found a way to replicate the true Ultra experience on its next generation of the Fold. The company has a teaser video showing the silhouette of the Fold opening and closing. There have been rumors that Samsung is working on a tri-fold phone, like Huawei's version that nets you an even bigger screen when unfolded; you'd think if anything got the Ultra moniker, it'd be that device. We'll have to wait and see. Ruark's MR1 Mk3 Get Some Serious Upgrades The Ruark MR1 have been some of the best sounding, most stylish desktop stereo speakers you can buy at their price for over a decade. Now in their third generation, they have been rebuilt from the ground up, with the aim of improving sound quality, refining the hand-crafted design and adding in some great new features to make them even more versatile than before. This includes adding aptX HD playback for higher quality Bluetooth sound, a USB audio connection for easy high-resolution playback and a moving magnet phono stage for powering a turntable. The petite package is available now, and costs $579/£399. — Verity Burns — Verity Burns Photoshop for Android Is Here Adobe has finally released Photoshop for Android. No, this isn't Photoshop Express or Photoshop Touch—previous, largely failed attempts at bringing Photoshop to mobile. Photoshop for Android mirrors the version of Photoshop for iPhone released earlier this year. You can download the public beta for Android today. The mobile app has nearly everything you'll find in Adobe's desktop version, including layer-based editing and tools like masks, clone stamp, intelligent selection options, and all the tone and curve adjustment tools. The user interface is radically different, but Photoshop veterans will likely get the hang of the mobile version quickly. I've been testing the Android app for a couple of days now, and it's fairly impressive, but a few things are missing. The biggest for me is the ability to crop by pixels rather than ratio, which seems like a very odd limitation. Content-aware fill is also still "coming soon." Adobe has been heavily touting the AI features, which make it possible to do smart selections that would be difficult otherwise. I've found this feature works like on desktop (it relies on the same cloud backend), but I still don't have much use for it. — Scott Gilbertson Poolsuite V3 Has Your Summer Playlist Sorted "Throw your laptop out the damn window and drag that 1994 Kawasaki 750SX stand-up jet ski out of Uncle Pete's garage, because summer is officially here." This is how Poolsuite, possibly the finest curated music app for outdoor frivolity, announces the arrival this week not only of a throughly revamped and upgraded version of its already superb iOS media player, but also that it's finally available on Android as well. This perfectly judged throwback tone pervades throughout the app, which now adds hundreds of new tracks across seven channels, as well as mobile mixtapes to go with the aesthetic overhaul. Sun-drenched playlists lovingly curated to lift spirits and deliver virtual vitamin D for free. If you haven't downloaded it already, do so right now—and never worry about what tunes to play at a BBQ ever again. — Jeremy White The New Hublot Big Bang Unico Summer 2025 Continuing the summer theme in style is this new limited edition beach-ready Big Bang from Hublot. 'As light as a sea breeze with its featherlight ceramic,' says the brand, with a micro blasted 'orange case that glows like the golden hour.' Well, I tried it on at Watches & Wonders in April, and unlike some other darker hued versions of this watch, it's playful and thoroughly approachable, yet with 100 meters of water resistance is equally at home either at a pool party or in deep waters. A one-click system also allows the included three interchangeable white rubber-lined straps in sky blue, dark blue or orange to be swapped in a jiffy, and the 72-hour power reserve keeps things going when off the wrist. The price? $31,300 (£26,900) but only 100 will be released. — Jeremy White

AI Can't Replace Education
Credit - Tingting Ji—Getty Images As commencement ceremonies celebrate the promise of a new generation of graduates, one question looms: will AI make their education pointless? Many CEOs think so. They describe a future where AI will replace engineers, doctors, and teachers. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently predicted AI will replace mid-level engineers who write the company's computer code. NVIDIA's Jensen Huang has even declared coding itself obsolete. While Bill Gates admits the breakneck pace of AI development is 'profound and even a little bit scary,' he celebrates how it could make elite knowledge universally accessible. He, too, foresees a world where AI replaces coders, doctors, and teachers, offering free high-quality medical advice and tutoring. Despite the hype, AI cannot 'think' for itself or act without humans—for now. Indeed, whether AI enhances learning or undermines understanding hinges on a crucial decision: Will we allow AI to just predict patterns? Or will we require it to explain, justify, and stay grounded in the laws of our world? AI needs human judgment, not just to supervise its output but also to embed scientific guardrails that give it direction, grounding, and interpretability. Physicist Alan Sokal recently compared AI chatbots to a moderately good student taking an oral exam. 'When they know the answer, they'll tell it to you, and when they don't know the answer they're really good at bullsh*tting,' he said at an event at the University of Pennsylvania. So, unless a user knows a lot about a given subject, according to Sokal, one might not catch a 'bullsh*tting' chatbot. That, to me, perfectly captures AI's so-called 'knowledge.' It mimics understanding by predicting word sequences but lacks the conceptual grounding. That's why 'creative' AI systems struggle to distinguish real from fake, and debates have emerged about whether large language models truly grasp cultural nuance. When teachers worry that AI tutors may hinder students' critical thinking, or doctors fear algorithmic misdiagnosis, they identify the same flaw: machine learning is brilliant at pattern recognition, but lacks the deep knowledge born of systematic, cumulative human experience and the scientific method. That is where a growing movement in AI offers a path forward. It focuses on embedding human knowledge directly into how machines learn. PINNs (Physics-Informed Neural Networks) and MINNs (Mechanistically Informed Neural Networks) are examples. The names might sound technical, but the idea is simple: AI gets better when it follows the rules, whether they are laws of physics, biological systems, or social dynamics. That means we still need humans not just to use knowledge, but to create it. AI works best when it learns from us. I see this in my own work with MINNs. Instead of letting an algorithm guess what works based on past data, we program it to follow established scientific principles. Take a local family lavender farm in Indiana. For this kind of business, blooming time is everything. Harvesting too early or late reduces essential oil potency, hurting quality and profits. An AI may waste time combing through irrelevant patterns. However, a MINN starts with plant biology. It uses equations linking heat, light, frost, and water to blooming to make timely and financially meaningful predictions. But it only works when it knows how the physical, chemical, and biological world works. That knowledge comes from science, which humans develop. Imagine applying this approach to cancer detection: breast tumors emit heat from increased blood flow and metabolism, and predictive AI could analyze thousands of thermal images to identify tumors based solely on data patterns. However, a MINN, like the one recently developed by researchers at the Rochester Institute of Technology, uses body-surface temperature data and embeds bioheat transfer laws directly into the model. That means, instead of guessing, it understands how heat moves through the body, allowing it to identify what's wrong, what's causing it, why, and precisely where it is by utilizing the physics of heat flow through tissue. In one case, a MINN predicted a tumor's location and size within a few millimeters, grounded entirely in how cancer disrupts the body's heat signature. The takeaway is simple: humans are still essential. As AI becomes sophisticated, our role is not disappearing. It is shifting. Humans need to 'call bullsh*t' when an algorithm produces something bizarre, biased, or wrong. That isn't just a weakness of AI. It is humans' greatest strength. It means our knowledge also needs to grow so we can steer the technology, keep it in check, ensure it does what we think it does, and help people in the process. The real threat isn't that AI is getting smarter. It is that we might stop using our intelligence. If we treat AI as an oracle, we risk forgetting how to question, reason, and recognize when something doesn't make sense. Fortunately, the future doesn't have to play out like this. We can build systems that are transparent, interpretable, and grounded in the accumulated human knowledge of science, ethics, and culture. Policymakers can fund research into interpretable AI. Universities can train students who blend domain knowledge with technical skills. Developers can adopt frameworks like MINNs and PINNs that require models to stay true to reality. And all of us—users, voters, citizens—can demand that AI serve science and objective truth, not just correlations. After more than a decade of teaching university-level statistics and scientific modeling, I now focus on helping students understand how algorithms work 'under the hood' by learning the systems themselves, rather than using them by rote. The goal is to raise literacy across the interconnected languages of math, science, and coding. This approach is necessary today. We don't need more users clicking 'generate' on black-box models. We need people who can understand the AI's logic, its code and math, and catch its 'bullsh*t.' AI will not make education irrelevant or replace humans. But we might replace ourselves if we forget how to think independently, and why science and deep understanding matter. The choice is not whether to reject or embrace AI. It's whether we'll stay educated and smart enough to guide it. Contact us at letters@

The Best Tech Gifts for Father's Day 2025
Getting a gift for Father's Day (reminder: it's Sunday, June 15) is no easy task. What more could the dad in your life need other than your unconditional love? Turns out, physical gifts—preferably something useful or entertaining—are exactly what he needs to escape the hellscape that is our current timeline. Like we did for Mother's Day, we've curated a selection of the finest tech to get your favorite dad. With options for budgets under $100, under $300, under $500, and over $500, we're sure pops will like something from this list. Gifts Under $100 Anker 6-Foot USB-C Cable ($10) Nothing screams 'man of the house' like a 6-foot USB-C cable that can probably reach any outlet from the couch. For $10, you get two of 'em. Gotta keep the phone charged up when the commercials on the big screen hit. Buy at Amazon 8BitDo USB Wireless Adapter 2 ($20) It'll feel wrong at first to use a PS5 controller to play Xbox and vice versa, but it beats buying a completely new gamepad when you can just pair existing ones to your consoles using this USB dongle. The 8BitDo USB Wireless Adapter 2 even works with Switch, so dad can play Super Smash Bros. Ultimate with a PS5 or Xbox controller. Buy at Amazon Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company ($30) Whether dad loves Apple or hates it, the company's sheer scale producing devices like the iPhone and iPad unexpectedly gave birth to China's technology scene and helped give rise to its largest Asian competitors such as Xiaomi and Huawei. Apple in China is a fascinating dive into how Apple's growth has made the world go round. Buy at Amazon Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ($50) It's the talk of the gaming scene for good reason. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 offers a feast for the eyes and ears, and a wonderful story wrapped in gameplay that feels new while scratching the itch of any dad still nostalgic for early Final Fantasy titles. Buy at Amazon Arcs ($60) Leder Games' Arcs is the kind of board game that does so much in such a small space. It's a trick-taking conquest game about gaining space supremacy in the vein of 4X games on PC. If you want to make it extra spicy, also buy the Blighted Reach expansion to connect multiple games into epic, multi-session storylines. Buy at Amazon Anbernic 34XXSP ($67) Anbernic's latest Game Boy Advance SP mimic is the kind of device that will put a smile on the face of any dad who grew up with a Game Boy in tow. The 34XXSP is powerful enough to play most games from early handhelds, and even a select few games from the N64 or Dreamcast era. Buy at Anbernic SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence ($70) SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Life is one of those games that will get both the space-loving and mechanics-minded dads excited to sit at the table with you. It's a game that will run for several hours, but it ends with such an epic climax that everyone will be jonesing for another round anyway. Buy at Amazon Xbox Design Lab Controller ($80) That skin oil-worn controller he's using to play Xbox may work just fine, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't love an upgrade. Microsoft's Design Lab is full of unique customization options—from colors to patterns to grips and more. Buy at Xbox Gifts Under $300 Backbone One ($100) A quality mobile controller may be the perfect gift if he has ever complained about aching thumbs while trying to play a game on a phone. Our current choice remains the Backbone One, but if you want to spend more, the Backbone Pro is a good upgrade with tighter controls. Buy at Amazon Govee Gaming Pixel Light ($120) Your dad deserves to jazz up his decor beyond bland paintings you can find at a thrift shop. The Govee Gaming Pixel Light lets the man in your life add his favorite 8-bit art (32×32 pixels) to his wall. Buy at Amazon Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical Edition ($120) Logitech's Lift is the go-to for vertical mice, but if your dad wants one for gaming, Razer's Pro Click V2 Vertical is the only way to go. Not only does it come with a more ergonomic design, but it also has more programmable buttons, faster polling rates for gaming, and RGB—gotta have RGB for dad to prove he's a real gamer. Buy at Amazon Nothing Ear ($130) There are a lot of wireless earbuds out there, but not everyone (dads included) is okay with defaulting to AirPods. Nothing's Ear, with its ceramic drivers, is fantastic for a dad who needs great audio with a style that's just a little bit different than most. Buy at Amazon Klipsch One Plus Premium ($170) Without making any assumptions about your dad, there's a chance that he may appreciate tech that's a little more analog. Klipsch's Bluetooth speaker brings great sound but also a slick mid-century design with knobs to boot—a design that combines modern tech with a vintage look. Buy at Amazon Lego Mario Kart ($170) What better way to spend time with a dad than over a Lego set? Even better is when that Lego set is a giant Mario riding a go-kart. 'It's-a-me-Mario!' voice not included. Buy at Lego Shun Classic Chef Knife ($170) This isn't the most high-tech product on this list, but it may be among the most practical. We can say with conviction that dad will never struggle with carving a bird ever again if you give the gift of Japanese steel. Buy at Macy's Polaroid Flip ($200) The Polaroid Flip is all nostalgia wrapped in a retro veneer, and it's now one of the better ways to take full-size instant photos at home. The camera is a hefty device, so dad may feel like a big, strong man lugging it around. Buy at Best Buy Flipper Zero ($200) The hardware-hacking dad in your life interested in his next DIY project would be absolutely thrilled to have the Flipper Zero. It's a signal multitool that can connect with various RFID and other radio protocols, plus the GPIO pins and custom firmware can be used to create a whole host of interesting use cases. Buy at Flipper Zero Boox Palma ($246) Kindles and Kobo e-readers are great for reading ebooks, but they don't fit into pockets. The Boox Palma is exactly the solution—a phone-sized e-reader that runs Android apps (though using it for anything more than ebooks is slow AF) that dad can actually grip with one hand. Buy at Amazon Meater Pro XL ($280) Grill dads who don't want to stand by the open flame constantly for every cookout will appreciate the Meater Pro XL. The device's four smart meat probes will let him monitor the temperatures and finish times for multiple meals through a single app, which means no more sprinting back and forth between oven and grill. Buy at Amazon Gifts Under $500 Meta Quest 3S ($300) Has your dad ever expressed any interest in VR, or even doing some at-home workouts? Set him up with the Quest 3S, and he won't need anything more. Buy at Amazon Philips Hue Play Sync Box ($334) If your dad needs an upgrade to his entertainment system, Philips' Hue Play Sync Box has him covered. This tiny box can coordinate the lighting of a movie with Hue smart lights and syncs TV content at 8K 60Hz and 4K 120Hz for a unique home theater experience. Buy at Amazon Google Pixel Watch 3 ($350) Everyone has an Apple Watch. Let dad feel different with the Google Pixel Watch. It tracks almost everything an Apple Watch does, including health and fitness, and the battery life is excellent. The only caveat is that it works with Android phones, not iPhones. Buy at Amazon Meta Ray-Bans ($350) Smart glasses might seem like an overboard gift if dad isn't tech-inclined, but Meta's Ray-Bans might be the right ratio of tech-to-style goodness. They have a classic look and are surprisingly nice for Bluetooth audio. Buy at Amazon Breville Paradice 9 ($395) Don't fault dad if his knife skills are subpar. Fortunately, a high-powered food processor like the Breville Paradice 9 can slice and dice just about any ingredient more evenly and faster. Technology saves time! Who'd have thunk it? Buy at Amazon Sony WH-1000XM8 ($448) Whether it's blocking out a crying baby or angsty teenager, Sony's latest WH-1000XM6 over-ear headphones deliver best-in-class active noise cancellation. Bonus points: they fold up neatly and come with a case that doesn't look like a bra (looking at you AirPods Max Smart Case). Buy at Amazon Gifts Over $500 Xreal One ($500) Maybe some lucky dads will get a $3,500 Apple Vision Pro for Father's Day, but if all dad needs is a pair of video glasses for watching Netflix and YouTube, Xreal's One is more than good enough and stupid easy to setup (just plug it into any device that supports USB-C video out). They're barely larger than a pair of sunglasses, the 1080p video is super sharp, and the screens even dim for a see-through effect. Buy at Amazon reMarkable Paper Pro ($680) If you're gonna get dad an e-reader and can splurge for the very best, the reMarkable Paper Pro is the one to get. It's got a color E Ink screen that's great for reading comics, supports a stylus for notetaking, and you can even get a keyboard folio case for it. Buy at Amazon
