Google Duplex rolling-out to iOS and non Pixel devices in the US

Announced back in 2018, Google Duplex is an extension of the company's assistant, which can make reservations for restaurants on your behalf with a surprisingly human voice. It can understand contextual information coming from the other side of the call and answer a limited number of questions if asked.

The service caused some controversy when it was initially demoed at Google I/O 2018 due to the human-like tone and pronunciation it used during calls. Google later addressed...

Taiwan's Electronic Times reports that both Qualcomm and Samsung have turned down the opportunity to supply 5G modems for Apple. Given the global patent war between Apple and Qualcomm, the San Diego company's snub is not a huge surprise. Samsung, however, reportedly gave another reason - not enough supply of its Exynos 5100 5G modem. Even if Samsung could boost production capacity, it will have leverage over Apple in the negotiations (and Apple loves squeezing its component suppliers for better margins). Apple's current preferred source of wireless modems, Intel, just doesn't have a 5G...
