Google will unveil the Pixel 9 phones on Tuesday, which will surely pack various Gemini AI features. That's what we'd' expect from Google, even without all the leaks that have already spoiled some of these surprises. However, the industry might be more interested in the success of the iPhone 16 and the Apple Intelligence suite of apps and features that will be available on all four Apple phones.
It's not just Samsung that's been selling fewer foldables than before. Kuo says that Chinese brands are also seeing lower-than-expected shipments. This suggests that 'growth in this segment may be limited in the near term unless the user experience improves significantly.' I'll note that Google will unveil its Pixel 9 Pro Fold foldable on Tuesday, with AI on top. As for Samsung foldable sales, I'll remind you that Samsung has increased the Fold 6 and Flip 6 prices.
