The August 13 launch of a new Pixel generation by Google is timed to try and disrupt the usual cycle of iPhone upgrades. Arriving weeks before Apple’s newest smartphone family, the Pixel 9 is trying to tempt potential iPhone upgraders over to Android.
This time, Google has more at play, with a greater push to incorporate AI into its smartphone ahead of the public release of the rival Apple Intelligence.
