Apple Teases ‘Awe-Dropping’ iPhone 17 Event Amidst Rave Pixel 10 Reviews and Silksong Launch
Apple has officially announced its highly anticipated “awe-dropping” event for September 9th, just days away. Speculation is rife regarding the expected unveiling of the iPhone 17 and a rumored ultra-thin iPhone Air, potentially measuring a mere 5.55 mm thick. While details on the iPhone Air’s specifications, including potential camera and battery compromises, remain unconfirmed, the event is also expected to showcase new Apple Watch models, including the first Ultra update in two years, and potentially the long-awaited AirPods Pro 3, promising significant updates across Apple’s device ecosystem.
Meanwhile, Google’s latest flagship, the Pixel 10 Pro, is already earning impressive marks in early reviews, scoring a high 94. Experts are praising its tangible improvements, including brighter screens, a faster Tensor G5 chip, and an enhanced battery. Software innovations such as Magic Cue, which leverages on-device AI for streamlined information access, and Camera Coach for guided shooting, aim to elevate the user experience. The Pixel 10 Pro also introduces a groundbreaking Pro Res Zoom feature, utilizing generative AI for up to 100x zoom, delivering superior image quality compared to competitors. Both the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro now support magnetic Qi2 wireless charging via Google’s Pixelsnap, and the more affordable Pixel 10 includes a 5x telephoto lens, surpassing many base flagships. Reviews for the Pixel Watch and Pixel 10 Pro Fold are anticipated in the coming months, with the latter slated for an October release.
In the gaming world, Gamescom concluded with a major announcement: the highly anticipated Hollow Knight sequel, Silksong, is officially set to launch on September 4th. This news has already prompted other indie developers to adjust their release schedules to avoid direct competition. Separately, Google is expanding its Translate app with new AI-powered language learning tools. These personalized features offer tailored listening and practice sessions, creating customized scenarios with helpful hints and progress tracking, initially supporting English, Spanish, and French speakers.
