Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories.

The last few months have been tough on Google with the ongoing anti-trust violations against it and the accusations of illegal monopolistic practices that discourage competition and persist in being the default search engine for browsers as well as on devices. Now, a federal judge has ruled against the company and found it to be, in fact, maintaining a monopoly. While the fate of the company is still to be decided in proceedings, the US Department of Justice has proposed solutions that include breaking up the big tech. After a judge's ruling declares Google a "monopolist," DOJ is suggesting ways […]
The antitrust noose appears to be tightening around Google with each passing day. Consider the latest remedial recommendations from the US Department of Justice (DOJ) in an ongoing high-stakes trial, where the judge's acquiescence to the suggested plan of action might see the iconic company rend asundered and its search engine business spun off as a separate entity. For the benefit of those who might not be aware, back in August, the United States District Court of Columbia had ruled that Google held a monopoly in the search engine market, replete with formidable barriers to entry. The judge had honed […]
A rumor has been floating around for a while that Samsung will employ MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9400 in one of its Galaxy S25 models as it aims to maintain a dual-chipset launch strategy to reduce its dependence on Qualcomm and decrease its chipset expenditure for the year. While neither Samsung nor MediaTek have confirmed the veracity of this claim, Google might have accidentally spilled the beans on how their partnership may blossom in the future. Talking about the advancements made in Google’s AlphaChip division, the company might have revealed the use of the Dimensity 9400 in Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series For […]

After Google launched its Pixel lineup in August, the attention shifted to its mid-range series, and the upcoming 9a model is said to be packed with promising flagship features. The rumor mill seems to be churning in full swing, and we have renders giving away the revamped camera layout and speculations suggesting a thinner profile for the new model from its predecessor. Now, we have a report that points towards the Pixel 9a launch date being sooner than expected. Pixel 9a could see the light soon as the pre-orders are expected to open up in mid-March Google has been taking […]
Google has made vigorous efforts on the AI front, and its Gemini Live is proof of that as it is a more natural and human-like conversation version of the generative AI and allows users to communicate in real-time and get replies that are more contextually aware. Initially, the chatbot was rolled out in English alone, but the tech giant is now expanding the services by offering support for more languages. Google is extending Gemini Live support on Android by adding more than 40 languages Gemini Live seems to be the talk of the town not only for setting itself apart […]

Google's Android 15 release is right around the corner, and we are now hearing details on next year's Android 16 update, particularly the name that it is being referred to internally. Based on the company's recent trends, the Search Engine giant has stopped using dessert names for its latest software updates. However, this does not mean that the company has entirely forgone its approach to naming Android builds after desserts. It is now being reported that Android 16 is internally codenamed 'Baklava,' which is a popular puff pastry dessert. Google uses the dessert 'Baklava' as its codename for next year's […]
