“Ask Photos” surpasses basic search by comprehending context and providing answers to more intricate queries, all made possible using Gemini models.

Google gave instances of how Gemini could recognize a specific license plate number on a car type and determine a child’s swimming instruction age based on pictures in the user’s library.

The type of content backed up to the user’s Google Photos library may affect the feature’s capacity to find precise identifiers like these, but in order to expedite the search, upload dates, locations, and other metadata will also be used.

  • iPhone SE 4 expected in 2025 with 48MP camera and 6.1-inch OLED display.
  • iPhone 17 models in 2024 may feature 12GB RAM and 48MP triple rear cameras.
  • First foldable iPhone planned for 2026 with 8-inch inner display.
  • Apple to release AR Glasses and foldable 20-inch iPad by 2027.

Apple has a number of interesting product releases and feature updates planned for the upcoming years, according to a leaked roadmap.

One of them, one of the most anticipated launches, includes an iPhone SE 4 that would launch in 2025, with a 48MP main camera and a 6.1-inch OLED display.

Furthermore, according to the report, some of the iPhone 17 models, expected to be released in the year 2024, may come upgraded to 12GB RAM, 48MP triple rear cameras, 48MP front cameras, and a Pol-less display.

Foldable Devices, OLED Macs, and Augmented Reality Glasses

The plan also makes clear aspirations for new product categories, such as foldable devices and augmented reality glasses.

The business is said to intend to unveil the first foldable iPhone in 2026.

It is said to sport an 8-inch inner display, a 6-inch outer screen, LLW DRAM, and an under-display IR sensor.

An OLED version of the iPad mini, coming with an 8.4-inch screen, along with the 10.9-inch version of the iPad Air, might be released that year; the lineup will also get an OLED MacBook with 14- and 16-inch versions of its screen.

Besides that, it is reported that Apple has already been preparing AR Glasses and a foldable 20-inch iPad, which are going to appear in 2027.

The AR Glasses will mark Apple’s entry into the augmented reality hardware market and are said to sport 1.4-inch RGB screens with MicroOLED or MicroLED panels.

He also says that a slightly more affordable version of the Vision Pro XR headset is planned for next year, 2026, which should make the technology a little more accessible to a larger variety of users.

I guess it doesn’t come as any surprise that the roadmap does give an intriguing look at Apple’s upcoming product portfolio, demonstrating the company’s desire to push boundaries and release cutting-edge devices across several categories, including foldable smartphones, even though leaks should always be taken with a grain of salt.

Apple to Soon Issue Fix for HDR Issue on M4 OLED iPad Pro Models

Highlights

  • OLED iPad Pro models have HDR content issues with blue tones.
  • Apple acknowledges the issue and is working on a software fix.
  • Problem isolated to iPad Pro, not affecting other OLED devices like iPhone 15 Pro.
  • iPad Pro models feature improved durability and thermal performance.

There have been some concerns recently about a problem with some OLED iPad Pro models in the presentation of HDR content, especially when it comes to blue tones.

The bluer shades of colour make HDR highlights appear blown out and almost white, which is causing compression errors in sample photos, according to an assessment by iMore.

“In a relatively specific set of circumstances, HDR highlights are blown out on certain blue shades including navy and indigo to a point that they almost appear white on screen. The best way to spot it would be to look at a character wearing a navy blue shirt — the creases appear to shimmer, like a spider’s web placed over the surface; at other times it appears like an inky blob morphing over it. “

  • Workplace struggled against competitors like Slack and Microsoft Teams.
  • Discontinuation part of Meta’s broader cost-cutting strategy.
  • Users advised to explore alternatives like Workvivo.

Workplace, the platform for corporate communications, is being discontinued by Meta, as per a report by TechCrunch.

A spokesperson from the company announced that Workplace—which was initially launched in 2016 as a Facebook-powered alternative to Slack and Microsoft Teams—will be available to users until August 31st, 2025.

Discontinuation of Workplace by Meta

Meta to Discontinue Workplace Platform by 2025
Meta to Discontinue Workplace Platform by 2025

The decision to shut down Workplace came after a decade of development and fierce competition from both new and established companies, including Zoom Workplace, Microsoft Teams, and Google Workspace.

The growth of Workplace has been dampened by the COVID-19 epidemic and the resumption that followed back to office employment, and the loss of key personnel.

Competing with Slack and Microsoft Teams, for example, Meta struggled to differentiate Workplace in an increasingly crowded market for remote work tools.

Market Competition

Discontinuation part of Meta's broader cost-cutting strategy
Discontinuation part of Meta’s broader cost-cutting strategy

Though Workplace was to be a possible source of income for Facebook, too fierce was the competition, and Meta opted to redirect its efforts toward the metaverse and artificial intelligence.

Closure by Workplace is set in a broader strategy of cost-cutting and simplification by Meta, with recent layoffs across different departments.

The ten-year-long adventure of the platform ends with the decision to discontinue Workplace

It should go without saying that users of the service are urged to look into other options, like the suggested Workvivo, in order to satisfy their future workplace communication demands.

FAQs

When will Meta discontinue the Workplace platform?

Meta will discontinue the Workplace platform on August 31, 2025. Users can continue to use the service until this date.

Why is Meta shutting down Workplace?

Meta is shutting down Workplace due to fierce competition and a shift in focus toward the metaverse and artificial intelligence. The platform struggled to stand out against competitors.

What alternatives are suggested for Workplace users?

Users are encouraged to explore alternatives like Workvivo to meet their future workplace communication needs. Other options include Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Workspace.

How did the COVID-19 pandemic impact Workplace?

The COVID-19 pandemic initially boosted remote work tools, but the return to office work and loss of key personnel negatively impacted Workplace. This contributed to its eventual discontinuation.

Google Launches AI-Powered Search Results for All Users: What’s New

Google Launches AI-Powered Search Results for All Users: What’s New

Highlights

  • Google introduces AI Overviews in Search after year-long Labs phase.
  • AI Overviews generate summaries and responses in real-time.
  • New search experience prioritizes AI-generated results over traditional links.
  • Rollout begins in the US, with global access by the end of 2024.

Google is officially launching its AI-powered “Overviews” in Search for all users after the year-long “Labs” phase.

This means a big change in how we interact with the web.

The Search Generative Experience uses generative AI in addition to search results in order to generate AI summaries and responses based on data from Search in real-time.

With this rollout, Google said “hundreds of millions” of users will have access to AI Overviews, and the company expects to make it available to over a billion people by the end of the year.

“We’ve been working on AI for well over a decade and yet we know we are still in the very early days of this incredible platform shift” said Sundar Pichai, the chief executive of Google parent firm Alphabet.

“We are encouraged to see not only an increase in search usage, but also an increase in user satisfaction,” Pichai said.

“This is just a glimpse of how we’re reimagining Google Search — combining the very best of Search today with Gemini’s advanced capabilities. Soon, Google will do the searching, simplifying, researching, planning, brainstorming and so much more” Reid said.

“For example, if you search for your license plate. In the past, you would find pictures of cars and you would have to scroll and find the license plate. We can automatically answer it now for you” Pichai said.

“You can also ask more complex questions.

The New Search Experience

Google is setting the SGE’s “AI Overviews” as the standard Search experience as of right now.

This new search experience, with the help of Gemini, will bring the traditional search results further down the page for a large number of searches where Google’s systems think that generative AI could be helpful.

Rollout begins in the US, with global access by the end of 2024

The AI Overviews mostly provide a limited number of links to each inquiry, and sometimes they appear only when the entire AI-generated response has been expanded.

The rollout for all users is first for the US, and other countries are soon to follow.

By the end of 2024, Google estimates that more than a billion users will have access to AI Overviews.

New Options to Search

Google will add a “web” option to search, so users can bypass AI answers and see just links, even though AI Overviews is the new feature but resembles Knowledge Panels or Featured Snippets.

The move comes amidst rising competition from industry stalwarts Microsoft, OpenAI, and Perplexity; the growing rise of AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Copilot, and Claude; and Google conforming to the changing, more conversational way consumers now interact with information.

Google’s Need for AI Search

The possible effects of Google Search’s AI makeover on websites that significantly rely on Search traffic are one area of concern.

According to some estimates, this change may cause up to 25% of visitors to disappear over the next few years, making the problems that many websites already confront even worse.

Google is moving on with its AI-powered search experience in spite of these reservations.

Search advertisements will still show up in specific spots and will be clearly labeled as sponsored and organic results.

Search and shopping advertising beneath search results in SGE are among the new ad formats that Google is experimenting with, according to remarks made by Philipp Schindler, Alphabet’s chief business officer, last month.

FAQs

What are Google’s AI-powered Search Overviews?

Google’s AI-powered Search Overviews use generative AI to create summaries and responses in addition to traditional search results.

This new feature aims to provide more informative and concise answers to user queries.

How does the new Search Generative Experience work?

The Search Generative Experience integrates AI Overviews with regular search results, prioritizing AI-generated responses for relevant queries.

Traditional search results are moved further down the page when AI summaries are displayed.

When will the AI-powered Search Overviews be available to users?

The rollout for AI-powered Search Overviews has begun in the US and is expected to be available globally by the end of 2024.

Google estimates that more than a billion users will have access to this new search experience.

Can users opt to see traditional search results instead of AI Overviews?

Yes, Google is adding a “web” option to search, allowing users to bypass AI answers and see only traditional links.

This option provides flexibility for users who prefer the classic search experience.

Generative AI in Search : Does Google do the searching for you?

Get quick answers with AI Overviews

Sometimes you want a quick answer, but you don’t have time to piece together all the information you need. Search will do the work for you with AI Overviews.

People have already used AI Overviews billions of times through our experiment in Search Labs.

They like that they can get both a quick overview of a topic and links to learn more. We’ve found that with AI Overviews, people use Search more, and are more satisfied with their results.

So today, AI Overviews will begin rolling out to everyone in the U.S., with more countries coming soon.

That means that this week, hundreds of millions of users will have access to AI Overviews, and we expect to bring them to over a billion people by the end of the year.

With AI Overviews, people are visiting a greater diversity of websites for help with more complex questions.

And we see that the links included in AI Overviews get more clicks than if the page had appeared as a traditional web listing for that query. As we expand this experience, we’ll continue to focus on sending valuable traffic to publishers and creators.

As always, ads will continue to appear in dedicated slots throughout the page, with clear labeling to distinguish between organic and sponsored results.

Adjust your AI Overview

Soon, you’ll be able to adjust your AI Overview with options to simplify the language or break it down in more detail.

This can be particularly useful if you’re new to a topic, or if you’re trying to simplify something to satisfy your kid’s curiosity.

This update is coming soon to Search Labs, for English queries in the U.S.

Ask your most complex questions

With our custom Gemini model’s multi-step reasoning capabilities, AI Overviews will help with increasingly complex questions.

Rather than breaking your question into multiple searches, you can ask your most complex questions, with all the nuances and caveats you have in mind, all in one go.

For example, maybe you’re looking for a new yoga or pilates studio, and you want one that’s popular with locals, conveniently located for your commute, and also offers a discount for new members.

Soon, with just one search, you’ll be able to ask something like “find the best yoga or pilates studios in Boston and show me details on their intro offers, and walking time from Beacon Hill.”

These multi-step reasoning capabilities are coming soon to AI Overviews in Search Labs, for English queries in the U.S.

Plan ahead

Beyond finding the right answer or information for a complex question, Search will also be able to plan with you.

With planning capabilities directly in Search, you can get help creating plans for whatever you need, starting with meals and vacations.

Search for something like “create a 3 day meal plan for a group that’s easy to prepare,” and you’ll get a starting point with a wide range of recipes from across the web.

If you want to change anything, you can easily ask for whatever adjustments you need, like swapping dinner to a vegetarian dish. Just like that, Search will customize your meal plan. You’ll be able to quickly export your meal plan to Docs or Gmail.

Meal and trip planning are available now in Search Labs in English in the U.S. Later this year, we’ll add customization capabilities and more categories like parties, date night and workouts.

Explore an AI-organized results page

When you’re looking for fresh ideas, it can take a lot of work to find inspiration and consider all your options. Soon, when you’re looking for ideas, Search will use generative AI to brainstorm with you and create an AI-organized results page that makes it easy to explore.

You’ll see helpful results categorized under unique, AI-generated headlines, featuring a wide range of perspectives and content types.

For English searches in the U.S., you’ll start to see this new AI-organized search results page when you look for inspiration — starting soon with dining and recipes, followed by movies, music, books, hotels, shopping and more.

Take a video, get help from AI

Search is so much more than just words in a text box. Often the questions you have are about the things you see around you, including objects in motion.

Thanks to advancements in video understanding, we’re able to take visual search to a whole new level, with the ability to ask questions with video.

Maybe you bought a record player at a thrift shop, but it’s not working when you turn it on and the metal piece with the needle is drifting unexpectedly. Searching with video saves you the time and trouble of finding the right words to describe this issue, and you’ll get an AI Overview with steps and resources to troubleshoot.

Searching with video will be available soon for Search Labs users in English in the U.S., and we’ll expand to more regions over time.

This is just a glimpse of how we’re reimagining Google Search — combining the very best of Search today with the Gemini model’s advanced capabilities.

Soon, Google will do the searching, simplifying, researching, planning, brainstorming and so much more.
