Google dunks on Apple Intelligence in new Pixel 10 ad
In a new Pixel 10 ad, Google dunks on Apple's failed promise of Siri AI improvements, with a narrator that suggests you could 'just change your phone' if you bought 'a new phone because of a feature that's coming soon, but it's been coming soon for a full year.'
The 30-second spot appeared on YouTube and X today, teasing the launch of Google's new Pixel 10 devices on August 20th. Not that there's much left to tease, thanks to Google's own leaks, an official teaser image, and plenty of other leaks.
Google's latest ad comes just a day after a report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman shed some additional light on Apple's AI delays. In a recent all-hands meeting, Apple's SVP of software Craig Federighi reportedly put the delay down to Apple's issues of trying to use a hybrid architecture for Siri. Apple is now reportedly working on a new version of Siri with an updated architecture.
'This has put us in a position to not just deliver what we announced, but to deliver a much bigger upgrade than we envisioned,' said Federighi. 'There is no project people are taking more seriously.' Federighi previously revealed in June that it was 'going to take us longer than we thought' to deliver the promised Siri upgrade.

AI-Ready Supply Chains Prove More Resilient Amid Rising Global Risk
AI adoption drives resilience, as 98% of mature users feel ready for geopolitical disruption, compared to 0% with no AI plans REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ivalua, a global leader in spend management, today released the results of a U.S.-focused study revealing that U.S. supply chain leaders are facing mounting geopolitical disruption, yet the most resilient organizations are not retreating from innovation, but adapting their strategies to strengthen it. According to the survey of 100 supply & procurement decision makers, organizations are grappling with mounting pressures: 91% expect disruptions from new trade policies, and 85% say international instability is impacting decision-making. Yet, those that have embraced artificial intelligence (AI) are not just surviving, but leading. Preparedness appears to go hand in hand with innovation, according to respondents: 98% with fully deployed AI tools say they feel prepared for geopolitical risk, and nearly half describe themselves as very prepared. Preparedness drops sharply to 21% among those still implementing AI. Only 11% of those merely considering AI implementation feel very prepared to deal with disruption. And 0% for companies with no AI plans say they are prepared to deal with disruption. "The desire for AI adoption across organizations is strong, but geopolitical instability and rising costs are pressuring organizations to shift priorities," said Alex Saric, CMO of Ivalua. "There's a real risk that near-term disruption becomes a long-term excuse to pause innovation. However, risk is a constant in global supply chains, and the real differentiator is how leaders respond. The most resilient organizations adapt their strategies without abandoning them, acting decisively to innovate and strategically to become stronger and more competitive." Despite widespread AI implementation, as 77% of respondents say they are currently rolling out AI tools in procurement or supplier management, only 36% view AI as a top supply chain priority today. While many are currently focused on cost control and risk mitigation, these efforts don't have to come at the expense of innovation. In fact, the two should go hand in hand: 73% of U.S. company leaders agree they must invest more in technology to help identify and mitigate geopolitical risks. Yet, 65% of U.S. businesses say that trade policy uncertainty is causing them to pause or decrease investment. 59% still cite innovation as a priority, indicating that leaders aren't abandoning transformation, but many are adjusting timelines under pressure. The shift reflects a defensive posture in response to near-term threats, but the data suggest that innovation is translating into tangible business benefits for the most advanced organizations. Companies with mature AI strategies handle geopolitical risks and cost pressures better than those without. While 78% of unprepared companies expect profit hits from rising costs, this decreases to only 50% for well-prepared companies that share this concern. A notable gap also exists between C-suite and frontline managers, as 67% of owners and 56% of C-level executives say their organizations are "very prepared," only 17% of senior managers and 10% of junior managers agree — highlighting the need for clearer execution and communication across teams. Ivalua's findings suggest that innovation can be a powerful risk response. Rather than putting transformation on pause, resilient organizations are leveraging it to close preparedness gaps, strengthen operations and build competitive advantage during uncertain times. About the ResearchSapio Research conducted the survey on behalf of Ivalua in April 2025. The survey was based on responses from 100 Supply & Procurement decision makers in the United States.
