Just a couple of days ago, Apple confirmed its September event, which has been ‘Wonderlust' this time, for September 12, where the iPhone 15 series is likely to be unveiled. Now, Google has also confirmed its Made By Google event for October 4 where the Pixel 8 series and the Pixel Watch 2 are expected to be launched. Made by Google is an annual event by the company where it introduces new products from its Pixel lineup, in particular the flagship Pixel smartphones. This year, the company has already launched the Pixel Fold, Pixel 7a, and the Pixel Tablet at its Google I/O event in May.
The confirmation for the event was sent directly by Google to the media in the form of event invites on August 30. As per a report by 9to5Google, the invitation read, “You're invited to an in-person Made by Google event where we'll introduce the latest additions to our Pixel portfolio of devices”. The event starts at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT (7:30 PM IST). The in-person event will be held in New York City. Additionally, people across the world can attend the event online via the Google Store and Made by Google YouTube channel where the event will be live-streamed.
The headlining products at the event are expected to be the Google Pixel 8 lineup which includes the Pixel 8 and the Pixel 8 Pro. Last year, the Pixel 7 lineup arrived with some big hardware upgrades and a powerful AI-based image processing system that pushed the Pixel 7 Pro as our favorite camera smartphone of 2022.
Now, with the Pixel 8 series, various leaks have revealed what the smartphone may look like. While not much is expected to be changed in terms of design after the Pixel 7 series introduced a new style for its visor-like camera module. However, the curved display of the Pixel 8 Pro might be ditched in favor of a flat display, and the edges of the device are expected to be more rounded.
The upcoming Pixel smartphones are likely to feature the Tensor G3 chipset, which is believed to bring new AI capabilities to the smartphones.

Microsoft is gearing up for its highly anticipated "special event" on September 21 in New York City. It has left the tech world buzzing with excitement. There are various speculations about the launch of new devices, including the Surface Go 4, Surface Laptop Studio 2, and the Surface Laptop Go 3.

When anti-piracy software Denuvo is removed from a game days before its release date, it's usually because pirates cracked an early access version. Not so with Payday 3. It's due to release on September 21st, but its developers have decided to handle things themselves.
Following the new Marvel's Spider-Man 2 trailer released during the latest State of Play broadcast, Insomniac Games opened the floodgates of information.

California, the biggest state in the US when it comes to both population and the sheer volume of tech companies squeezed into its borders, has just passed the country's most extreme right to repair bill in the US (via Ars Technica). It's the third state to pass such a bill, but goes further than either Minnesota or New York in that it forces companies to support their products for longer.

Apple unveiled its new iPhone 15 lineup at its Wonderlust event on Tuesday, announcing plans to bring some AAA console and PC games to the mobile platform.
