Google Flight Deals: What it can do for you and how to use it

Finding flights, and especially cheap flights, can be a time-consuming process. You often have to check multiple dates, compare various airports, and browse across different airline websites to find the best possible deal. But if you're short on time, Google now offers a tool called Flight Deals, which is currently in beta. This AI-powered search tool, integrated within the Google Flights ecosystem, allows you to quickly find flights that save you money. Google Flight Deals feature is currently in beta.(Pexels)
The best part is that you can describe your travel plans just as you would to a friend and not mention your destination at all. So, you could just say that you want to travel for the best street food in India, and mention a specific timeline, and Google will get the options for you, including recommendations.

Apple ramps up India production for iPhone 17 launch, plans new iPhone 17e next year: Report

Apple is giving India a far bigger role in its global supply chain this year. Ahead of the launch of the iPhone 17 series next month, the company has reportedly started producing all four models in India, including the Pro variants that were previously manufactured only in China, Bloomberg reported. This is the first time India will be part of Apple's initial rollout at such a change is not just symbolic. It shows how aggressively Apple is trying to reduce its dependence on China, especially for devices bound for the US and other key markets. According to people familiar with the plan, the company is currently producing the iPhone 17 across five factories in India. Two of them have only recently started operations, Tata Group's facility at Hosur in Tamil Nadu and Foxconn's large plant near Bengaluru role, in particular, is expanding quickly. Within the next two years, plants run by the conglomerate could be responsible for nearly half of India's iPhone output. That is a big leap for a company that only entered iPhone assembly after acquiring Wistron's Karnataka unit in 2023 and taking a majority stake in Pegatron's factory near Chennai. The scale of Apple's change in strategy can be seen in the numbers. Between April and July this year, India exported $7.5 billion worth of iPhones at factory gate prices. In the entire previous financial year, exports stood at $17 the product side, the iPhone 17 series itself is expected to bring noticeable changes. Reports suggest that Apple is preparing a slimmer model that will be positioned as the face of its marketing campaign, while the Pro versions will get their most substantial redesign in years. Camera upgrades, improved video recording and better zoom capabilities are said to be part of the India roadmap, however, stretches beyond this year's launch. The company is working on a new iPhone 17e, likely to debut early next year as the follow-up to the iPhone 16e. Discussions have also begun around production plans for the iPhone 18, with early preparations expected to start in the coming expansion in India is partly a response to the unpredictable global trade environment. Apple has been navigating tariff pressures in the US, with the company recently warning of a $1.1 billion hit in the current quarter. While iPhones have so far been spared from broad tariff hikes, Apple wants to be better prepared by diversifying its production meanwhile, has been trying to hold on to its manufacturing dominance. Officials have reportedly discouraged technology transfers to India and Southeast Asia in a bid to slow the change. Foxconn even recalled hundreds of Chinese technicians from its Indian plants earlier this year, forcing Apple to fly in engineers from Taiwan and Japan at a higher cost. Still, production timelines remain on track, people aware of the matter said.- EndsMust Watch

Mystery AI model Nano Banana is going viral and everyone thinks Google is behind it

If you follow the AI buzz closely, you must have recently come across a bunch of posts about something called 'nano-banana.' We know, it sounds strange. What is even stranger is that news about this AI model appeared without explanation or any background. But many people have apparently been using this mystery AI model and nearly all of them seem to be impressed by it. But who made this model? We don't know for sure yet, but a trail of speculation is pointing squarely at mysterious model surfaced on LMArena, a benchmarking site where users pit two AI models against each other to see which performs better. When 'nano-banana' appeared in these battles, it quickly stood out. Testers remarked on its ability to not only generate highly realistic images but also perform precise edits when Insider, which managed to test the model, reported that it was 'pretty great at bringing prompts to life', though like many of its competitors, it occasionally fumbles. Despite its growing reputation, no company has stepped forward to claim ownership. That hasn't stopped internet sleuths from trying to solve the mystery. The leading theory? are several reasons for this suspicion. First, Google has a history of using 'nano' to describe smaller AI models designed to run locally on devices. That naming choice, observers argue, might hint at the model's origins. Second, the company has been teasing something image-related throughout the month, coinciding with nano-banana's sudden appearance online. Fuel was added to the speculation earlier this week when Logan Kilpatrick, Google's head of product for AI Studio, posted nothing but a banana emoji on X. Shortly after, Naina Raisinghani, a product manager at Google DeepMind, shared an image resembling Maurizio Cattelan's famous 2019 artwork of a banana taped to a wall. While neither post confirmed anything outright, both were enough to convince many that nano-banana is a Google now, Google has stayed silent. The company did not respond to India Today Tech's request for comment. But with Google scheduled to host the Pixel event tonight, some believe the secret may soon be out.- EndsTune InMust Watch
