The headlines today might be dominated by the not-so-surprise launch of the iPhone 16e, but it’s not all that’s happening. A GSMA (Global System for Mobile Communications Association) entry might have just revealed the official model numbers for the Google Pixel 10 lineup, and that means the device is nearing approval — and could be roughly six months away.

Initial reports point at least four distinct models: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold, according to SmartPrix.com. The only missing entry would be the Pixel 10A, but it’s expected to make an appearance later in the year.

According to this leak, the Google Pixel 10 will be numbered GLBW0 and GL066.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro will be G4QUR and GN4F5.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL will be GUL82.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be GU0NP.

The fact that these devices now have model numbers indicates Google has registered the phones with the GSMA, and it’s viable proof that the Pixel 10 series is on the way. Previously, we’d only heard less-verifiable rumors and hints at the codenames for each series (for the Pixel 10, the names are supposedly based on horses — Frankel, Blazer, Mustang, and Rango), but model numbers are more solid.

The Google Pixel 10 lineup is expected to bring a major leap in performance, especially with a new set of Tensor chips. Google is said to be moving to TSMC’s foundries to produce the next set of chips, and the resulting products should yield more efficient phones.

Estimates place the Pixel 10 lineup about six months out, which fits with the typical release date of Pixel phones. The Pixel 9 dropped on August 22, which is almost six months away to the day from now.

The memory crisis isn’t going to ease, and you will pay the price for it, says a research firm

Forty to 50% higher this quarter, 30 to 40% more next quarter, and no real relief until 2028. Plan accordingly.

If you were hoping the memory crisis was about to ease up, I have some bad news for you. It comes directly from Wall Street.

Your next smartphone, laptop, or tablet could cost even more, regardless of whether it has recently been subject to a price hike.

Screens before age two may come with serious developmental risks, study warns

Using a phone or a tablet to keep your baby occupied is not a good idea.

Kid using an iPad

Screens have become the digital pacifier for many babies. Phones and tablets are used during feeding, bedtime, chores, and moments when parents need a break. A major new study now warns that regular screen use before age two may carry developmental risks.

Researchers from four UK universities say babies and toddlers under two should avoid regular intentional screen time. The review links higher screen exposure in the first two years with sleep problems, language delays, behavioural difficulties, obesity risk, short-sightedness, and later problems with friendships and social interactions.

I tried the AI-powered Extend photo trick in iOS 27, and it blew past my expectations

The Extend feature won't fool everyone, but for casual social media edits, it's surprisingly easy to rely on.

Photography, Wood, Electronics

I wasn’t among the first to install the iOS 27 developer beta, but once I did, I began appreciating the changes Apple has made. The Photos app, in particular, has received one of its most substantial upgrades, adding an improved Clean Up tool, Spatial Reframing, and the new Extend feature, the one I was most eager to try.

After spending some time with it on my iPhone 17, here’s how the tool has performed so far. Spoiler alert: it’s one of the most substantial additions to Apple’s previously slim lineup of AI features. I’ve tried the feature on several different photos, including a selfie I took in front of a dam in northern India, photos of food items on a table, and shots taken indoors and outdoors.
