An interesting detail is that the Pixel 10 Pro might have a slightly smaller battery than the standard Pixel 10, reportedly because of the addition of a vapour chamber cooling system, which the base model lacks.

Google Photos Update Keeps HDR Quality Intact After Edits, Adds New Ultra HDR Tool

0

Highlights

  • HDR photos in Google Photos will now retain their full dynamic range and metadata after using editing tools like Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, and Portrait Light.

Google Photos is rolling out some new features that make it easier to edit and enhance both HDR and SDR images without losing quality.

“We’ve made improvements to how images are edited in High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Standard Dynamic Range (SDR). Now, HDR photos can keep their full dynamic range and crucial HDR metadata even after editing with features like Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, and Portrait Light. This means your edited photos will maintain their contrast and highlights to always look their best,” said the company recently in a Google Community post.

One major change is that HDR photos will now keep their full dynamic range and HDR metadata, even after using editing tools like Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, or Portrait Light. This means your photos will still look bright, detailed, and vibrant on HDR-supported screens, even after you’ve made changes.

Google has also introduced a new “Ultra HDR” tool, which gives you more precise control over brightness. This lets you fine-tune your photos to get exactly the look you’re after. In addition, the older “HDR” tool has been renamed to “Tone” to better reflect its role in adjusting light and contrast.

There’s more good news for SDR photos too. Google Photos can now enhance SDR images to HDR, improving brightness, contrast, and clarity. So, even your older or standard photos will look much better on modern HDR-capable screens.

Google hasn’t confirmed whether these features are arriving via an app update or a server-side rollout, but they’re gradually becoming available for users with HDR-compatible devices.

FAQs

Q1. What happens to HDR photos after editing in the new Google Photos update?

Answer. HDR photos now keep their full dynamic range and crucial HDR metadata even after editing with tools like Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, and Portrait Light.

Q2. What is the new Ultra HDR tool in Google Photos?

Answer. The Ultra HDR tool gives users more precise control over brightness, allowing them to fine-tune their photos for the exact look they want.

Q3. Can Google Photos enhance SDR images to HDR?

Answer. Yes, Google Photos can now enhance SDR images to HDR, improving brightness, contrast, and clarity for better display on HDR-capable screens.

Apple May Launch a Cheaper MacBook with iPhone Chip, Says Kuo

0

Highlights

  • Apple may launch a cheaper MacBook powered by the A18 Pro chip, the same processor that has been used in the iPhone 16 Pro.
  • Production could begin in late 2025 or early 2026 with a 13-inch display and colourful finishes like silver, pink, and yellow.
  • The A18 Pro offers performance close to the M1 chip and the laptop is expected to be priced below the $999 MacBook Air.

Apple might finally be working on a more affordable MacBook. According to well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is planning to release a new laptop powered by the A18 Pro chip instead of its usual M-series processors. It is the same chip used in the iPhone 16 Pro lineup.

In a detailed post on X (formerly Twitter), Kuo said that production for this MacBook could begin in late 2025 or early 2026. The new model is expected to feature a 13-inch display, just like the current MacBook Air, but with the A18 chip being the main difference in terms of performance.

The new MacBook might also come in colourful finishes like silver, pink, and yellow, giving it a fresh and more playful look.

As of now, we don’t know the exact price, but the idea is that it would be cheaper than the $999 MacBook Air, which is currently Apple’s most affordable laptop. Kuo reports that Apple is planning to produce around 5–7 million units in 2026, hinting at a competitive price point meant to attract high-volume sales.

While this would be the first time Apple puts an iPhone chip in a Mac, the A18 Pro is still quite powerful. On Geekbench, its single-core score is around 3500, only slightly behind the M4 chip in the latest Mac mini. It does lag more in multi-core performance (8780 vs 15000 for M4), but for everyday tasks, most users likely wouldn’t notice a big difference.

The A18’s multi-core performance is actually close to that of the original M1 chip, which is still used by many people today without any issues.

In the end, the success of this new MacBook will depend on how much cheaper it will be than the MacBook Air. If priced right, it could open up the Mac ecosystem to a whole new group of users.

FAQs

Q1. What processor will the new budget MacBook use?

Answer. Apple is planning to release a new MacBook powered by the A18 Pro chip, the same chip used in the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro, instead of its usual M-series processors.

Q2. When is the new MacBook expected to enter production?

Answer. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, production for the new MacBook could begin in late 2025 or early 2026.

Q3. How will the new MacBook compare in performance and price?

Answer. The A18 Pro’s multi-core performance is close to the original M1 chip, and the new MacBook is expected to be cheaper than the $999 MacBook Air, targeting high-volume sales.

M5 Vision Pro (2025) –

Apple is said to be preparing a slightly updated Vision Pro, going into mass production in Q3 2025. While the M5 chip will be new, the rest of the hardware will remain the same. Apple is expected to ship around 150,000 to 200,000 units by the end of 2025.

Vision Air (2027) –

A more affordable version of the Vision Pro named Vision Air could arrive in Q3 2027. Kuo says it will be 40% lighter, made of plastic and magnesium alloy instead of the current glass and titanium build. It’s expected to use the “highest-end iPhone processor” but with fewer sensors to cut costs.

2nd-Gen Vision Pro (2028) –

Kuo predicts a major upgrade in 2H 2028. The second-generation Vision Pro is expected to have a new design, a “Mac-class” processor, and be lighter and cheaper than the original.

Apple Glasses Timeline

1st-Gen Apple Glasses (2027)

Despite earlier rumours of a 2026 launch, Kuo now expects Apple’s first smart glasses similar to Meta’s Ray-Ban line to go into mass production in Q2 2027. Around 3–5 million units could ship. Features may include voice and gesture control, photo/video recording, AI environment sensing, and audio support (possibly through AirPods).

Two XR Glasses Models (2028+)

Apple is also working on two smart glasses with built-in displays with the first model expected to begin mass production in 2028. These will likely use Liquid Crystal on Silicon and waveguide display tech, along with gesture and voice controls.

Display Accessory on Hold

Kuo says a wired display accessory for Mac and iPhone, originally planned for Q2 2026, is on hold due to weight issues. The device was supposed to use Birdbath optics, but its future is uncertain.

Meanwhile, Kuo writes, “Apple’s entry is expected to push total market shipments for this category beyond 10 million units in 2027, marking a significant emerging trend.”

“Before Apple launches display-enabled smart glasses, several brands are expected to release similar products to establish early market presence. However, given the ongoing technological and design improvements needed, these products will likely remain niche offerings over the next two years,” Kuo further adds.
