Google may be developing a new 'Google AI Lite' plan, hinted at through code in the latest app beta, which could offer a middle ground between free and Pro subscriptions by increasing limits on features like deep research and video generation. This plan has not been officially announced and its release date remains uncertain.
The latest macOS Sequoia 15.2 update has revealed references to upcoming M4 MacBook Air models, indicating that Apple plans to release 13-inch and 15-inch versions without major design changes. The new models are expected to feature the M4 chip, following the trend of minimal aesthetic updates seen in the M4 MacBook Pro. Apple aims to enhance value by offering improved base configurations, such as 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, while maintaining competitive pricing. Further details are anticipated as the release approaches.
The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are rumored to have the world's narrowest bezels, potentially breaking a world record with measurements of 1.2mm and 1.15mm respectively. However, past leaks about bezel sizes have been inaccurate, so these claims should be taken with caution until Apple officially reveals the new models.
New images reveal that the iPhone 16 Pro will feature a significantly larger camera island to accommodate bigger camera modules, including a 48MP ultrawide sensor and a 12MP 5x telephoto optical camera. The phone will also have a 6.3-inch screen and a new 3nm chipset, potentially offering better battery life and enhanced photography capabilities.
New leaks suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature significant camera upgrades, including a brand new sensor, making it a highly anticipated release for 2024.
The upcoming Google Pixel 8a has been leaked on a US carrier's website, revealing a curvier design with chunkier bezels and a matte texture on the back. Rumored to feature a 6.1-inch OLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate, a Tensor G3 chip, and a slightly larger battery with faster charging, the phone may be announced during Google I/O and could be priced higher than its predecessor.
The Google Pixel Fold 2 is rumored to feature an 8.02-inch foldable screen and a 6.29-inch cover screen, potentially offering a truly tablet-sized display when unfolded. With panel production set to begin in April, the device could also boast a powerful chipset, new design, and an extra camera, positioning it as one of the best folding smartphones on the market. However, concerns remain about the size of the bezels, and while an October launch alongside the Google Pixel 9 is rumored, the official release date is still uncertain.
Leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy A55 and Galaxy A35 suggest potential design upgrades and a possible flaw with noticeable bezels and a large bottom chin, prompting mixed reactions. The A55 is rumored to feature a 6.5-inch AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and an FHD+ resolution, while the A35 is expected to have a slightly larger 6.6-inch display. Both phones are believed to support up to 12GB RAM, 256GB of storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 25W fast charging. The release date is expected to be in March, and the A55 may feature an aluminum frame and improved IP67 resistance.
Leaked renders of the Google Pixel 9 show a new design with flat sides and a horizontal camera island, potentially housing three lenses including a speculated periscope telephoto camera, making it a substantial upgrade from the Pixel 8. The phone is rumored to have a 6.1-inch display, slightly smaller than its predecessor, but with overall dimensions that may contradict this. While the accuracy of the leak remains uncertain, it suggests promising improvements for photography enthusiasts and hints at what to expect from the upcoming Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro.
