Google delays some Pixel 10 accessories and foldable handset amid supply chain hurdles
As anticipation builds for Google's 'Made by Google' launch on August 20, 2025, not all eagerly awaited products may hit shelves right away.
According to leaks from German outlet WinFuture, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a are expected to debut at the event—but won't be available for purchase until October 9, due to reported supply chain issues.
This creates an ironic contrast: Google's teaser for the Pixel 10 series cheekily mocked Apple for delays in rolling out AI-powered Siri enhancements. Now, Google's own hardware is facing similar setbacks. If accurate, the new devices would launch well over a month after the core Pixel 10 line becomes available—likely around August 28.
Despite the delay, interest remains high. A recent marketing mishap revealed all four Pixel 10 models—including the Fold and Pro variants—in a sneak preview, showing off new shades like Moonstone and Jade. Detailed render leaks have also offered clear views of the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro designs—featuring flat screens, prominent bezels, and a range of color options such as Obsidian, Frost, Moonstone, and Jade.
Meanwhile, excitement is also building over new AI features across the Pixel line. A standout reveal is the AI-powered Camera Coach, which aims to give users real-time tips on angles, lighting, and composition—an assistive tool that could appeal even to AI skeptics.
In summary, while Google's Pixel 10 phones are on track for a timely debut, several companion products may require patience. Consumers eyeing the watch, earbuds, and foldable model may need to wait until October before they're ready to buy.

Google offered $34.5 bn for Chrome
Perplexity AI offered Google $34.5 billion for its popular Chrome web browser, which the internet giant could potentially be forced to sell as part of antitrust proceedings. The whopping sum proposed in a letter of intent by Perplexity is nearly double the value of the startup, which was reportedly $18 billion in a recent funding round. 'This proposal is designed to satisfy an antitrust remedy in highest public interest by placing Chrome with a capable, independent operator focused on continuity, openness, and consumer protection,' Perplexity chief executive Aravind Srinivas said in the letter, a copy of which was seen by AFP. Google is awaiting US District Court Judge Amit Mehta's ruling on what 'remedies' to impose, following a landmark decision last year that said the tech titan maintained an illegal monopoly in online search. US government attorneys have called for Google to divest itself of the Chrome browser, contending that artificial intelligence is poised to ramp up the tech giant's dominance as the goto window into the internet. Google has urged Mehta to reject the divestment, and his decision is expected by the end of the month. Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Perplexity's offer vastly undervalues Chrome and 'should not be taken seriously,' Baird Equity Research analysts said in a note to investors. Given that Perplexity already has a browser that competes with Chrome, the San Francisco-based startup could be trying to spark others to bid or 'influence the pending decision' in the antitrust case, Baird analysts theorized. 'Either way, we believe Perplexity would view an independent Chrome -- or one no longer affiliated with Google -- as an advantage as it attempts to take browser share,' Baird analysts told investors.
