At WWDC 2024, Apple will likely unveil AI-generated emoji and OpenAI collab. Apple is unlikely to debut significant AI or Generative AI features that Google and Samsung. Rather, the company could reveal basic AI features like transcribing voice memos or auto-generated emojis.
According to MarkGurman, the Apple WWDC 2024 event may include basic AI features and OpenAI collaboration. Apple’s rumored “smart recap” feature could summarize missed texts, notifications, and other things like “web pages, news articles, documents, notes and other forms of media.”

The Pixel 10 series could be equipped with a Tensor G5 chip made by TSMC as Google is reportedly ditching Samsung Foundry for its fifth-generation Tensor chipset, which would power the Pixel 10 series.
Evidence shared by AndroidAuthority indicates TSMC would manufacture Tensor G5 for Google. As Google’s Pixel business is gradually growing, parting ways with Samsung would give a major boost in terms of performance.
Pixel’s Tensor chipsets were always criticized for their performance and efficiency concerns. While Samsung Foundry has impressed with its latest Exynos chip in Galaxy S24, Google seems to have already jumped to TSMC.
Publicly available trade databases mention Google (as Shipper) and Tessolve Semiconductor (as Consignee). The description reveals the Google part number, chip’s code name “laguna (LGA),” goods’ type, packing type, manufacturer, and the number of tests the mentioned chipset has passed.
The evidence also reveals that the Pixel 10 might use up to 16GB of RAM, a huge 4GB bump to the current flagship’s RAM. This huge RAM boost is also expected to be brought to the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra, which Samsung would introduce in early next year.
Google introduced its in-house Tensor chipset in 2021 with Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. Since then, the company has partnered with Samsung for semiconductor production. This year’s Pixel 9 series will also use a Samsung-made Tensor G4 processor.
