Google is betting everything on AI also within its mobile phone line

Google presented its new line of Pixel 10 phones at an event where artificial intelligence was the star. The company highlighted its AI assistant, Gemini, described as a ‘personal intelligence’ that will work on smartphones, wearable devices, smart homes, and connected cars.

Google presented its new line of Pixel 10 phones at an event where artificial intelligence was the star. The company highlighted its AI assistant, Gemini, described as a ‘personal intelligence’ that will work on smartphones, wearable devices, smart homes, and connected cars. This initiative aligns with the growing trend towards the integration of AI into users’ daily lives.

Mobile phones where everything is done by AI

One of the most striking features of the new devices is Magic Cue, which anticipates the user’s needs by extracting data from Gmail, Calendar, and Messages to suggest appropriate actions. For example, while sending a message about dinners, a button appears to book a restaurant directly in the conversation. This functionality could make it easier for users to stay within the Google ecosystem, reducing reliance on individual apps on their phones.

Google’s strategy also seems to be focused on capitalizing on Apple’s delays in the AI field. By scheduling its event just before the iPhone launch, Google directed criticism at the Cupertino company for offering AI features only in future updates. In contrast, Google’s new AI features will be available immediately on the Pixel 10 and Fold Pro. Additionally, a year of free tools like NotebookLM and Jules is included with the purchase of these devices.

Despite holding the fourth place in the U.S. smartphone market with a 3% to 4.5% share, Google has the opportunity to increase its market share by focusing on obvious and useful AI features. If tools like Magic Cue prove to be indispensable, Google could not only encourage recurring use of its services but also achieve greater loyalty from its users in a highly competitive youth market.

Apple has acquired RAC7, the developer of the popular game Sneaky Sasquatch, marking the first time that the Cupertino company incorporates a dedicated video game studio into its infrastructure.

Apple seems to want to strengthen its video game division

An Apple spokesperson expressed their enthusiasm for the addition of the RAC7 team, which consists of only two people, stating: “We love Sneaky Sasquatch and are excited that the RAC7 team has joined Apple to continue their work with us.” The company plans to continue providing an enriching experience for Apple Arcade players, with hundreds of games available from some of the best developers in the world.

However, this is not the only initiative from Apple in the field of video games. The company will be presenting a new gaming app on June 9 at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). This new app will function as a launcher and gaming hub, allowing users to track achievements, leaderboards, and messages. It is reported that it will be pre-installed on all Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, starting later this year.

The launch of this app coincides almost directly with the arrival of the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, which could be interpreted as a strategic move by Apple to position itself as a direct competitor in the video game market. Although some analyses suggest that the acquisition of RAC7 and the new application do not necessarily form part of a broader effort, the timing of these revelations certainly sends a clear message about Apple’s determination to establish itself in the world of digital entertainment.
