January 24, 20240

With the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro still months away from its Q2 2024 launch, a lot of information about the upcoming flagships remains unknown. So far, the duo are rumoured to launch with an enhanced version of the Google Assistant called Google Pixie.

At first glance, it is apparent that Google got its design from the Pixel 9 Pro's camera housing from its arch nemesis, Apple.

Vision Pro orders are departing Apple’s facilities via UPS, and here’s how you can check your order status. If you check your Vision Pro order status via Apple’s website, you’ll likely see that your device is still “preparing to ship.” This is because Apple waits until closer to the official release date of a new product to update the shipping status on its end, even if the actual package is now in the hands of its shipping partner.
