    Great reviewer! I would like to see more videos from her and representation of diverse cultural backgrounds.
    The iPhone is just less stressful and more dependable. Pixel is awesome for the AI. If Apple gets a similar AI, then iPhones would be the winner. Remember that software can be updated after you get the phone, and hardware features stay the same forever.

    A superlative review, production and presentation. I would go with either the iPhone 15 Plus or iPhone 15 Pro Max. I’ve been on Android for years, but there’s no reason to stay there after they dropped the 3.5mm jack and expandable storage.

    My 2020 LG V60 is still going strong and when needed, I’ll have a battery installed. I really appreciate the 3.5mm jack, 32-bit Hi-Fi QuadDAC (which sounds so much better than anything Bluetooth) and expandable storage. Last Black Friday I picked up a Sandisk 1TB microSD card for $97.00.

    Pixel 8 Pro is so amazing and so is the iPhone 15 Pro Max. I’d go with the Pixel 8 Pro. That’s what I have now. The AI features are so useful to use throughout the day. Both cameras are just fine for most people. It’s the software that takes the Pixel 8 Pro over the edge. If I was in the Apple ecosystem, the only option really is the iPhone unless all you use is a Macbook.

    Wait CNET prefers an iPhone, shocker! Google just has some nice quality of life features that make it hard to switch. The Pixel 8 Pro camera has the best image pipeline for stills is just feels like there’s life in the images versus the sharp clinical digitized look from most cell phones

    I am guessing this reviewer didn’t turn on full resolution for the Pixel 8 Pro in settings.

    Ever since I got the Pixel 8 Pro I have watched many reviews on it. I realized that just about ever review talks about the same stuff. Not much different. The camera, the AI software, the battery, and the display. Not much more than that. Overall I love this Pixel 8 pro!

    Funny thing is the Apple eco system is why I would never buy a apple phone as my personal phone. I migrate from samsung and roku TV, iPad, Fire tablet and Samsung phone all in one day with one pair of headphones. I can transfer a picture from my google account to all of my phones and tablets. I don’t even think about using my iCloud acct. Yes iPods, apple watch, iPad Macbook, etc. all work seamlessly together. Keyword together. Throw in a PS5 and a Xbox, ????. For me personally I would rather stay out of the ecosystem. (As I type this from a M1 mac mini.)

    on that first teacup shot, did portrait mode really engage? sometimes if the pixel cant quite figure it out, it doesn’t engage the effect. The Bokeh on that one feels more like the natural bokeh of that larger sensor up close. The iphone one looks great btw.

    Love your videos ❤ Keep making great reviews ???? I’m thinking of switching from an iPhone 13 pro to the Pixel 8 Pro, but I love my apple watch ultra ???? …

Are orbital data centers all hype, or an actual AI infrastructure solution? l Equity Podcast

Tech companies are racing to build data centers in space, pitching orbital compute as the next frontier for AI infrastructure, even as the technical and economic realities remain far from clear. Add in OpenAI’s massive $122 billion round and Bluesky’s latest AI backlash, and the message is clear: The future of AI is being shaped as much by ambition and hype as it is by real-world constraints.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane unpack these massive capital bets, user backlash, and off-world compute plans along with Whoop’s major valuation and the literal downfall of robot Olaf.
