Pixel 10 launch date confirmed: Major feature upgrades expected at Made by Google event
This year, all eyes are on the Pixel 10 lineup. The standard Pixel 10 might finally make the leap to a triple-camera setup, while the Pro and Pro XL versions are expected to bring bigger upgrades. A completely dustproof
Pixel 10 Pro Fold
is also rumored to break cover.
On the wearables front, the
Pixel Watch 4
is rumored to pack a bigger battery and a slightly bulkier design. Not much has leaked about the Pixel Buds yet, but whispers point to a new budget-friendly Pixel Buds 2a possibly joining the lineup.
As always, you can expect Google to stream the entire event live on YouTube.
What to Expect from the Pixel 10 Series
The Pixel 10 lineup is shaping up to be a performance jump. The base model is expected to run on Google's new Tensor G5 chip paired with 12GB of RAM, while the Pixel 10 Pro could push things further with up to 16GB.
While early benchmarks show the G5 chip running Android 15, the final devices will likely ship with Android 16 out of the box.
Camera leaks point to a serious upgrade — both the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro are rumored to feature a triple 64MP setup: a main sensor, ultra-wide, and a periscope telephoto capable of up to 50x digital zoom.
As for design, don't expect a huge shift. The Pixel 10 is said to stick close to the Pixel 9 Pro's look, including the signature horizontal camera bar across the back.

The Driver of Apple's Exploding Valuation Is Under Threat. See What's at Stake.
Apple sold the same number of iPhones in 2024 as it did in 2015, according to IDC. But Apple stock has jumped ninefold in that time. One reason for the continued run in the shares has been the various services Apple sells to people living their digital lives in its ecosystem. iCloud storage and other subscriptions, paid apps and app advertising, as well as payments related to web search, as a group, have quintupled since 2015, while device revenue has grown less than 40%. And those services generate significantly higher gross profit margins: north of 70%, estimates Bank of America, compared with roughly 30% to 40% for hardware sales. That means the services business has a greater impact on Apple's profit than on its revenue. Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan credits Apple's choice to break out the rapidly growing, highly profitable services segment as a reason investors started paying a bigger earnings multiple for Apple shares. Yet after a big boost during the pandemic, growth of services has moderated, and two clouds are visible on the horizon that could reduce or even eliminate key parts of the business. A primary component of Apple's services business is the fees Apple collects on sales in its App Store, which drove almost a third of the total services revenue in the fiscal year that ended in September, according to Bank of America estimates. Some developers say the fees are usurious and have appealed to regulators or sued Apple to force changes. A California judge ruled that Apple must allow app developers to sell their iPhone services from their own websites. In that scenario, she said, Apple can't collect any fee at all. In a worst-case scenario, Bank of America estimates that Apple could lose 10% of its net profit. But that assumes all large developers shift all of their app purchases outside the App Store, which is very unlikely, and Apple is appealing the ruling in the U.S. In the European Union, a law called the Digital Markets Act requires similar changes to allow developers to avoid Apple's fees. Some experts have expressed concern that other countries could follow suit. Apple disagreed with the California judge's ruling, a spokeswoman said. It also appealed the ruling of the European Commission, saying the changes it is forcing the company to make go beyond what the law requires and are bad for users. The next piece of Apple's services business—and one of its most lucrative—is the money Google pays so it gets to be the default search provider in Apple's Safari web browser. It accounted for about 6% of Apple's overall revenue in the 12 months through March, estimates Bank of America. But because it has essentially no costs associated with it, it falls straight to the bottom line, where it accounts for 19%, or nearly a fifth, of Apple's total operating profit. After the Justice Department won its antitrust case against Alphabet's Google, it asked the judge to throw out the search giant's Apple contract, which the judge is still considering. During trial testimony, the judge asked Apple executive Eddy Cue, who oversees the services business, if Apple has thought about what it would do if he cancels the contract. Cue testified: 'I've lost a lot of sleep thinking about it.' Advertising, particularly by apps in the App Store, is another big chunk of services revenue. Subscriptions to iCloud storage, Apple Music, Apple TV and other services add even more to Apple's services business. News Corp, owner of The Wall Street Journal, has a commercial agreement to supply news through Apple services. While Apple has bested expectations in many arenas of its services business outside of the App Store and Google payments, the company will still face an uphill battle in replacing lost revenue from those two areas, analysts say.

Another Pixel 6a catches fire while charging: What's going on here?
Another Pixel 6a has allegedly gone up in flames, and it's the kind of story Google could do without, especially with the Pixel 10 series just around the corner. This latest case comes from an Indian user who claims the device overheated and caught fire overnight while charging. Stay aware of your Pixel 6a, it might catch on fire.(/u/footymanageraddict) The user posted images on X (formerly Twitter), showing a charred Pixel 6a, a melted charging cable, and burn damage on the bed. According to the post, the phone was charging with its original cable and adapter. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but the device is beyond repair. This isn't the first time This isn't an isolated case. A similar fire incident involving the Pixel 6a surfaced last year, also during overnight charging. While battery failures happen across all brands, repeated reports around the same model raise obvious concerns. As of now, there's been no official comment from Google. The Pixel 6a, despite being two generations old, is still widely used in India, often sold under ₹30,000 during sales. That popularity makes safety concerns even more pressing. Multiple fire-related incidents, even if rare, chip away at the trust in an otherwise well-regarded device. Should you be worried? If you own a Pixel 6a, this might be the right time to start paying attention. Don't leave your phone plugged in overnight, especially if it tends to heat up. Stick to the original charging accessories, and keep an eye out for signs like swelling, overheating, or erratic charging behaviour. And if your device shows any of these red flags, don't ignore them. Stop using the phone and get it checked by an authorized service centre. It's more about ensuring basic safety than preserving battery life. The Pixel 6a has delivered solid performance for its price, but back-to-back fire incidents could mark the beginning of its end in India. If you're still using one, just stay cautious. If you're considering one, maybe look at something a bit more… fireproof.

Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 Pro model makes public appearance: Take a look
Images claiming to show a prototype of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro may have leaked online. An X (formerly Twitter) user with the handle '@Skyfops' shared photos of what appears to be a test unit, prompting Bloomberg's Mark Gurman to repost the image with the comment that it 'looks legit.' The design lines up with earlier reports suggesting that the iPhone 17 Pro will feature a redesigned rear camera module extending across much of the phone's width. iPhone 17 Pro: Expected design The user posted two photos of the purported iPhone 17 Pro. While the device is enclosed in a thick black case that obscures most of the design details, the layout of the camera lenses resembles the current models. Notably, the flashlight and the LiDAR sensor appear to be positioned on the right side of the rear panel — supporting earlier leaks about a wider camera island. Wow. This looks legit. — Mark Gurman (@markgurman) July 28, 2025 The case also features a visible cutout at the top-left corner, which could point to a new button or feature. A report from 9to5Mac speculated that this could be a secondary Camera Control, potentially a capacitive touch-based scroll input. According to the report, this new button might complement the existing Camera Control button — allowing users to hold the device in landscape mode, with one camera button beneath each index finger. The new button could be dedicated to zoom controls, while the current one might retain functionality for switching between camera modes. iPhone 17 Pro: What to expect Apple is expected to introduce a dual-finish design with the 2025 Pro models, combining an all-aluminium frame and camera bump with a retained glass section to support features like MagSafe, wireless charging, and data pass-through. Reports also suggest Apple may reposition the Apple logo, aligning it with the glass portion instead of the entire back panel. Anticipated camera upgrades for the iPhone 17 Pro include: A new 48MP telephoto lens for better zoom and detail. Multi-camera video recording support. An enhanced 24MP front-facing camera for improved selfies and video quality. Both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to be powered by Apple's upcoming A19 Pro chipset, which may include a higher number of GPU cores compared to the A19 chip that could be used in the standard iPhone 17 and the rumoured iPhone 17 Air.
