There are plenty of reasons why Google would be interested in going down this route. For example, closer integration would make Android handsets more compatible with Chromebooks. However, it appears the main reason for the move is to accelerate the delivery of AI features.

As the Mountain View-based firm explains, having Chrome OS lean more on Android’s tech stack will make it easier to bring new AI features to Chromebooks. The company adds that along with the change, it wants to maintain the “security, consistent look and feel, and extensive management capabilities” that users are acquainted with.

Google is working on the updates starting today, but notes that users won’t see the changes for a while. The tech giant claims that when everything is ready, the transition will be seamless.

Now, iPhone owners will have to decide if Apple Intelligence is enough of a reason to upgrade.

Apple certainly hopes so.

A patent application was filed by Apple for a hinge to be used on a pair of smart glasses that will replace the iPhone.

But behind that wave of unreliable garbage, some amazing features emerge from using AI models. Apple has the chance to depict itself as the adult in the room, a company committed to using AI for features that make its customers’ lives better–not competing to do the best unreproducible magic trick on stage.

In doing so, it risks being seen as dowdy and behind. But if Apple can see beyond the latest tech-industry hype cycle–and it’s generally good at doing that–it can bet on iPhone users being more interested in real features than impractical nonsense.

Historically, Apple has been a company with a very strong philosophy about new technologies: they should be applied to solving the problems of real people. Most tech companies have historically had this backward: they take delivery of some whizzy new technology fresh off a manufacturer’s conveyor belt and shove it into a product. The result tends to be products that are solutions desperately searching for problems.

The Elemind headband is a soft, lightweight, and flexible wearable designed to be worn throughout the night, regardless of one’s sleeping position. It can collect information using brainwaves and pairs with a smartphone, where users can find details about their sleep patterns.

Where the headband is effective is its ability to use neuromodulation to impact the brainwaves, directing them from wakeful patterns to those of deeper sleep. “Elemind works like noise-cancellation for the brain. You can switch off the world, switch off the stress, and go to sleep faster,” explained Meredith Perry, the CEO and co-founder of Elemind.

Bank of America sees a multi-year upgrade cycle for smartphones and the iPhone thanks to the launch of the IntelliPhone.

Researchers at the University of Colorado discovered a key technique that could lead to a smartphone battery that charges in a minute.

A new discovery could pave the way for supercapacitors that can charge phones and laptops in 60 seconds and electric cars in a mere ten minutes.

In a press release, the University of Colorado at Boulder announced that its researchers have achieved a breakthrough when it comes to our understanding of the way charged ion particles behave — a discovery that could be the key to figuring out the logistics for the long-anticipated energy storage capabilities of supercapacitors.

Supercapacitors have long been proposed as a means of charging electronics lightning-fast, but until now, figuring out how to increase the energy density to match or exceed those of lithium-ion batteries has, for the most part, eluded scientists. Compared to conventional batteries, which can store as much as ten times more energy than today’s supercapacitors, this technology has remained in the realm of the possible but not yet practical.
