Google Pixel 7 Launch Date Announced

Google has also confirmed that alongside the Pixel 7 series, it will also launch the highly anticipated smartwatch from Google, the Pixel Watch. The Google Pixel 7 series will be powered by Google’s second-gen Tensor chip that the company is calling the “Tensor G2″ chip. The Google Tensor chips made a debut last year with the Google Pixel 6 series, and the first generation of the chipsets have had a rather positive response. With the Tensor G2, Google is said to improve things further.
Netflix Ad-Tier Plan Could Roll Out On November 1
Netflix ad-tier plan could be offered as early as November 1 as per a new report this week. It seems the popular streaming platform has opted with the new timeline before Disney+ brings its own ad-tier plan in the market.
Netflix talked about plans of launching the ad-supported plan sometime in 2023, but the schedule has been preponed to compete with Disney, which is now bringing its own ad-supported plan starting at $7.99 (about Rs 639) in the US on December 8. Netflix clarified that it is targeting only a few markets initially with significant advertising spend in countries like the US, UK, Canada, France, and Germany.
