This week has rounded to September, or a technology member as we call it, with the last events of the month, from Amazon to Google’s great hardware and software.
We also saw the implosion of the Internet when Xbox Game Pass had a large price increase, which led many to question whether the subscription is still a good business for them.
To catch up with all this and more, move down for our summary of the seven largest technological news of the week.
1. Samsung joked with the folding iPhone
For Icymi, we usually do not include reports based on leaks and speculation, since although they can be in money, they can also be out of place, even of often reliable sources. We are making an exception here, since the president of Samsung Display, Lee Cheong, has said that the company is preparing to produce mass folding phone panels for an American customer, and only one company comes to mind as this mysterious buyer: Apple.
This is because it is rumored that the long -awaited folding iPhone will be launched next year, and Samsung Display has long been doing its other iPhone screens.
We have heard numerous rumors about how the folding iPhone could be, but we hope something thin, it could even be thinner than the 5.6 mm iPhone air when it develops. As for the price, the most recent filter price we have heard is $ 1,999 (around £ 1,500 / au $ 3,050).
The Meta Ray-Ban exhibition glasses are very publicized are finally available to the public in the United States, and you can even reserve a demonstration to give them a turn.
This laptop is essentially the existing goal smart glasses with a attached screen, offering additional functionality, such as screen navigation, emerging notification windows and even video call support.
But with pairs that start at $ 799, you probably want to try them before buying them. That is why, using the Meta official programmer page, you can find a retailer near you that offers 25 -minute demonstrations. Just prepare to wait for a while, since the demonstrations are already reserved for months, although as the specifications offer the specifications and implement them to more regions, it should be easier to reserve a demonstration slot.
3. We judge an AI ‘actress’
Tilly Norwood is a ‘actress’ of the “first study of the world’s artificial intelligence talent”, Xicoia, and broke into the scene through social networks to seek the representation of agents.
The creator asked people to “judge it by merit”, but we and many others, especially notable Hollywood figures, have decided that it is a terrifying perspective for the world of entertainment that could eliminate humanity from the next shows and films.
At the moment, we cannot avoid thinking about that viral event by Joanna Maciejewska when it comes to people like Tilly Norwood: “I want you to do my laundry and dishes to be able to make art and write, not so that I do my art and writing so that I can wash my clothes and dishes.”
If you use the goal chatbot AI on Facebook and Instagram, you may want to reconsider, at the beginning of December 16, your chats will influence the ads you see, and at the time of writing, you cannot choose not to participate.
“For example, if I chat with goal AI about hiking, we can learn that you are interested in walking, as we would do if you would publish a reel on hiking or liked a page related to hiking,” as a result, you can begin to see recommendations for hiking groups, publications of friends about trails or ads for hiking boots, “Meta explained in his announcement.
Goal can be a pioneer here, but Google has discussed show ads in Gemini and its descriptions of AI, which appear at the top of the search, while Amazon is using conversations with its chatbot Rufus AI for similar purposes.
5. Amazon announced a new hardware
On Tuesday, Amazon celebrated a great hardware event in New York, and we were there at the audience, which gave him the full decline on each device as announced.
Some of the most prominent aspects included the Kindle Scribe coloroft, which feels like writing on paper, integrates with OneDrive and Google Docs, new smart speakers and smart screens, three new fire televisions and updated cameras and timbres.
Everything is infused with the courtesy of Alexa+, and we could have our hands (and ears) in everything to provide our first impressions as soon as the presentations ended.
6. Google Home obtained an update of AI
Google Smart Home Technology is finally configured to obtain the long -awaited Gemini update, which will bring more conversational interactions, better help to configure its automation and a better detection of objects for their smart cameras.
Unfortunately, for the best functions, you must start paying a Subscription of Google Home Premium: yours for $ 10 per month or $ 100 per year (the standard level), or $ 20 per month or $ 200 a year (the advanced level).
The good news is that it will not need to update the new Google Home speaker (although you can if you wish), since the update will be compatible with all Google’s domestic technology launched in the last decade.
7. Xbox Game Pass obtained a price walk
Microsoft set fire to the Internet by announcing great changes that reach Xbox Game Pass. That is that an Xbox Game first level subscription now costs $ 29.99 / £ 22.99 / AU $ 35.95.
This means that a year of Xbox game passes Ultimate, to $ 359.88, it costs only a little less than an Xbox S series, with its recently increased price of $ 379.99.
Now, Ultimate comes with some useful benefits. Now it includes a membership of the Fortnite crew (which puts you, 1,000 V-Bucks per month and the battle pass), Ubisoft+ Classics (classic Ubisoft games) and shorter waiting times and a resolution of 1440p when transmitted.
That said, many players have not taken this news well, with the page that the players would use to cancel their subscriptions that are blocked. Oh! Do not completely worry about the increase in prices, since you can still get Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $ 19.99 per month for now, while the shares last.
