The tech world has been buzzing with news about the iPhone 15 Pro series finally receiving a fix for its overheating issue, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella shedding light on the challenges posed by Google-Apple deals, and the launch of Google’s Pixel 8 series smartphones. These headlines have dominated the tech news space over the past week.
In a recent court appearance, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella expressed concerns about the obstacles faced by potential competitors in the search engine market, particularly highlighting the strong influence of Google. Nadella emphasized Google’s dominant position within the search engine market, citing their agreements with Apple as a significant challenge for Microsoft’s search engine, Bing. This legal confrontation represents a substantial antitrust case against a major tech entity in the US since Microsoft’s own antitrust case over two decades ago.
Meanwhile, Apple has addressed the overheating issues reported by users of its iPhone 15 Pro lineup. The company clarified that the problem was related to software and released an update, iOS 17.0.3, specifically designed to alleviate the overheating concerns. Apple assured users that the issue was unrelated to the design features of the Pro models, such as the titanium and aluminum frame, or the incorporation of the USB-C charging port.
On the other hand, Google has launched its latest smartphone models, the Google Pixel 8 Pro and Google Pixel 8. The pricing and release details for the Indian market have been unveiled, and the devices are now available for pre-orders on Flipkart. The Pixel 8 starts at Rs 75,999, while the Pixel 8 Pro is priced at Rs 1,06,999 for the 128GB storage variant. Google is offering pre-order promotions, including bank offers and discounts.
These developments in the tech world have captured the attention of tech enthusiasts and consumers alike. The resolution of the iPhone 15 Pro’s overheating issue brings relief to users, while Nadella’s remarks shed light on the challenges faced by competitors in the search engine market. The launch of Google’s Pixel 8 series adds to the excitement surrounding new smartphone releases.
