The snowball of foldable iPhone rumors that have been rolling downhill for years may have finally merged into something tangible. The latest reports claim Apple is closer than ever to creating a squashable iPhone, though we’ll still have to wait at least two years to see it in action.

Google doesn’t really care who among its users are the capital “G” gamers. Still, the Google Play Games app for PC is one of the oft-overlooked elements of its ecosystem, and it’s the tech giant’s main connection to PC gaming since the end of Stadia. You can jump straight from your progress on the phone and continue from where you left off on your computer. That service is finally getting a boost this year with a feature that lets you play multiple games simultaneously from the same account. Unfortunately, in its current state, it’s mainly there to keep you ever-playing your idle games.

Let’s be clear. If this article was comprehensive it would never end. The convention center floor at any San Diego Comic-Con is just pure geeky bliss as far as the eye can see. And we do mean that literally. With the naked eye, it’s impossible to see from one end of the convention center to the other. It’s massive.

The company on Thursday unveiled SearchGPT, a search feature designed to give “timely answers” to questions, drawing from web sources. UI-wise, SearchGPT isn’t too far off from OpenAI’s chatbot platform ChatGPT.
