Google unveiled a slew of generative-AI goodies at its annual I/O event on Tuesday during a packed keynote that lasted almost two hours.

If you couldn’t watch it at the time, or really don’t want to sit through all 110 minutes of it on Google’s YouTube channel, the web giant has kindly shared a video that compresses the best bits of the event into a mere 10 minutes. You can watch it below:

For an overview of the event, check out this article that brings together everything announced during the Google I/O keynote, which was kicked off by Google boss Sundar Pichai. Another Digital Trends piece endeavors to highlight all of the biggest announcements regarding Gemini, Google’s impressive generative-AI suite.

You’ll definitely want to find out more about how the Google Lens search feature can now handle videos, not just images,  and discover how Gmail will soon be writing AI emails for you — if you ask it to. And there’s also Project Astra, a super-clever smartphone assistant that will be rolled out via the Gemini app later this year.

But that’s not all. Google Photos is about to deploy more generative AI for an incredible new feature called Ask Photos that lets you pull information from your images using a conversational approach.

With Google having now unveiled its latest update for generative AI tools coming to its platform, the pressure will now be ramping up on Apple as it prepares to showcase its latest efforts in the same field at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) next month.

Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

Every time Apple released a new iOS update, people swore their iPhones suddenly felt slower. This rumor has followed Apple for years and while the company always denied it, the suspicion never really went away. With its latest iOS 27 update, I believe Apple has finally put this rumor to rest. 

I installed the beta on my iPhone Air, but the bigger story is what's happening on the older models. Reports from people running iOS 27 on even older iPhones say their phones feel faster, not slower.

Apple made Liquid Glass adjustable, which says plenty about Liquid Glass
The new slider is useful, welcome, and mildly hilarious after a year of Apple acting like transparent everything was the obvious future.
Text, Document, Business Card

Apple’s big glassy software future now comes with a way to make it less glassy. In iOS 27, users can adjust the translucency of the Liquid Glass effect, while macOS Golden Gate adds its own Liquid Glass controls under System Settings.

Liquid Glass is still alive across Apple’s platforms, still shimmering through menus and panels, still doing the elegant UI trick Apple clearly likes. The big visual bet has already earned a dimmer switch. After a year of treating translucency like the obvious next step, WWDC’s most revealing design update may be the one that lets people dial it back.

Last month, Samsung rolled out the One UI 8.5 update to the Galaxy S25 series, but users quickly noticed that several AI features available on the Galaxy S26 series were missing. The omissions sparked confusion and frustration, with many Galaxy S25 owners questioning what Samsung’s long-term software support actually covers.

Now, Samsung seems to be fixing part of the issue with the June 2026 update, which reportedly adds three of the missing Galaxy AI features to the Galaxy S25 series. The update has started rolling out in South Korea and includes the June 2026 Android security patch. The firmware has the build number S938NKSUACZF1.
