People aren't happy with the leaked Pixel 10 prices, and for one key reason
We want to hear from you! Share your thoughts in the comments and vote in the poll below — your take might be featured in a future roundup.
Google Pixel 10 leaks have been in full force over the last couple of weeks, and one of the latest leaks is one of the most important yet: Pixel 10 pricing.
On the surface, the leaked prices look great. In a world where it seems like everything is getting more expensive, the fact that Pixel 10 prices (for the most part) aren't any higher than the Pixel 9 series is a breath of fresh air.
The base Pixel 10 has the same $799 starting price as the Pixel 9, and the Pixel 10 Pro starts at the same $999 price that the Pixel 9 Pro had. The Pixel 9 Pro XL starts at a higher $1,199 price compared to the $1,099 Pixel 9 Pro XL, but that's because Google is reportedly killing the 128GB model and making 256GB the starting storage amount. Meanwhile, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold keeps the Pixel 9 Pro Fold's $1,799 price tag.
Upon first seeing these prices, I was thrilled. However, reading through comments on r/Android, it's apparent that not everyone feels the same way. A lot of folks aren't happy with these Pixel 10 prices, and it's all thanks to how much storage you'll get for your money.
For context, the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro both come with 128GB for the base model, and that's where a lot of the frustration stems from. 'Phones should start with 256GB as the lowest, default storage,' says one person, while someone else writes, 'Absolutely insane that the Pro line starts at 128[GB].' And as another commenter flatly complained, '128GB in 2025, what a joke.'
In addition to the starting storage amounts, people are also unhappy with the maximum storage for the base Pixel 10. As one person writes, 'It kind of sucks that the Pixel 10 is limited to 256GB, and if you want 512GB, you have to go for the Pixel 10 Pro, which will be much more expensive.'

Yes, no price increase is always a good thing.

They're fine, but I wish there were better storage options.

No, they're too dang expensive.

While I'm still pleased that prices have stayed the same for another year, it is frustrating that Google continues to be so stingy on storage. The OnePlus 13, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Motorola Razr Plus (2025), for example, all start at $999 with 256GB of storage. I can understand Google's justification for keeping the base Pixel 10 at 128GB, but the Pixel 10 Pro should really have 256GB as the default.
The folks on Reddit are pretty clearly unhappy, but I want to know what you think. Are you happy with these leaked Pixel 10 prices? Do you think 128GB is still an OK starting amount in 2025? Would you have preferred 256GB of base storage even if that meant a higher starting price?

I missed Nvidia – could this be the next big US growth stock?
Let's be honest — most of us missed the boat on Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). And by the time we realised just how vital graphics processing units (GPUs) would become to artificial intelligence (AI), the share price had already soared into the stratosphere. Over the past five years, the stock has climbed almost 1,600%. In the last six months alone, it's up almost 50%, adding over $1.5trn to its market value. It's now the most valuable company in the world, overtaking Microsoft and Apple in June. I have exposure to the stock through several ETFs and investment trusts, so I didn't entirely miss out on the action. But I certainly made nowhere near the gains I would have had I bought individual shares. Which makes me wonder, how did Nvidia get here, and what stock could be next? Crunching the numbers The numbers behind the hype are jaw-droppingly impressive. For the fiscal year ending January 2025, revenue reached $130bn, a staggering increase from $27bn just two years ago. Net income exploded from $4.3bn in 2022 to more than $70bn this year. And its margins are enormous — a return on equity of 115% and gross margins consistently above 70%. Yet despite the parabolic growth, I don't think it's entirely overvalued yet. In fact, I still think it's worth considering as a long-term investment. It's a world-class company with room to expand further and the global AI arms race is just getting started – with Nvidia at its core. Realistically, though, the biggest gains have already been made. Buying now means betting on continued dominance that may already be priced in, which is a risk. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 45 – not outrageous considering its growth, but not cheap either. So where should investors look if they want to catch the next killer growth stock before it becomes a trillion-dollar giant? Could SymphonyAI be next? One company on my radar is SymphonyAI, a private US firm reportedly preparing for a Nasdaq IPO later this year. It's not yet listed, but when it does go public, I'll be watching closely. Founded by billionaire Romesh Wadhwani, it specialises in applying AI to specific industry verticals – retail, finance, manufacturing, and healthcare. It doesn't build chips like Nvidia, but it builds the enterprise software that helps businesses harness AI to improve decision-making and productivity. Unlike many AI startups, SymphonyAI already has real revenues and customers. Its retail division serves over 1,200 brands, while its industrial arm works with giants like Nestlé and ArcelorMittal. While financials are still private, it reportedly generates hundreds of millions in annual revenue and is growing fast. If the IPO goes ahead this autumn, it could be one of the most closely watched tech listings of the year. Long-term mindset Nvidia's success was powered by timing, technology, and a growing reliance on data. It may still reward shareholders but the days of 10x returns are likely behind us. SymphonyAI might never reach Nvidia's heights but it could offer early-stage exposure to enterprise AI – the next leg of this growth story. If the valuation is right, it could turn out to be a once-in-a-decade opportunity. The post I missed Nvidia – could this be the next big US growth stock? appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

Tim Cook Says He's 'Open to M&A that Accelerates' Apple's AI Plans
Tech giant Apple (AAPL) is changing its strategy on artificial intelligence, with CEO Tim Cook saying that the company is now willing to spend more in order to catch up to competitors. Interestingly, this could involve building more data centers or even acquiring a larger AI company, which would be a big shift from Apple's usual practice of buying smaller firms. The move comes as Apple falls behind Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOGL), which have already spent tens of billions on AI chatbots and assistants that now have hundreds of millions of users. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. So far, Apple has mainly relied on outside data centers and focused on developing its own AI technology. But progress has been slower than expected, with Siri's upgrade pushed to next year. As a result, during Apple's Q3 earnings call, Cook told analysts that while the company has acquired seven smaller firms this year, it is also open to larger deals if they help speed up Apple's AI plans. 'We're very open to M&A that accelerates our roadmap,' he said, with CFO Kevan Parekh adding that this spending will rise 'substantially,' but not at an out-of-control pace. It is worth noting that these plans come at a critical time for Apple. Indeed, its multibillion-dollar deal with Google to keep it as the iPhone's default search engine is at risk due to U.S. antitrust lawsuits. In addition, new AI startups like Perplexity are working with phone makers to challenge Google's dominance, with Bloomberg even reporting earlier this year that Apple had discussed buying Perplexity to improve its Safari browser. At the same time, Apple is preparing to spend more on data centers so it can use its own chips to process AI tasks while protecting user privacy. Is Apple a Buy or Sell Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on AAPL stock based on 13 Buys, 12 Holds, and one Sell assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average AAPL price target of $230.97 per share implies 13.7% upside potential.

Cloudflare Earnings: Big Deals and AI
Key Points Cloudflare beat expectations in the second quarter, with solid 28% revenue growth and an expanding net retention rate. Spending is rising as Cloudflare invests in growth and AI initiatives, which led to sluggish adjusted earnings growth and a drop in free cash flow. Cloudflare's outlook was strong, and the stock surged in after-hours trading. 10 stocks we like better than Cloudflare › Here's our initial take on Cloudflare's (NYSE: NET) financial report. Key Metrics Metric Q2 2024 Q2 2025 Change vs. Expectations Revenue $401.0 million $512.3 million +28% Beat Earnings per share (adjusted) $0.20 $0.21 +5% Beat Large customers 3,046 3,712 +22% n/a Dollar-based net retention rate 112% 114% +2 pp n/a Growing Customer Relationships Cloudflare (NYSE: NET) grew revenue by 28% in the second quarter, easily beating analyst expectations. The cloud computing company ended the quarter with 3,712 large customers spending at least $100,000 annually, up 22% year over year. Those larger customers accounted for 71% of total revenue. One driver of Cloudflare's revenue growth was a bump in the dollar-based net retention rate, which measures how quickly existing customers are expanding spending. This rate rose to 114% in the second quarter, up from 112% during the same period last year. While that's a small increase, it's a sign that customers are increasing their investments in Cloudflare's growing portfolio of products and services. "Demand remains strong, as our largest customers grow their investments with Cloudflare at the highest levels we've seen since 2022," said CEO Matthew Prince in the earnings release. Cloudflare beat analyst expectations for adjusted earnings per share as well, although that metric only grew by 5% year over year. The company's GAAP net loss more than tripled to $50.4 million as operating costs soared. Free cash flow dipped to $33.3 million, down 13% year over year, as the company ramped up its capital expenditures. For the third quarter, Cloudflare expects revenue to grow by 26% to 27% and adjusted EPS to come in at $0.23. The company expects to spend between 12% and 13% of revenue on capital assets related to its edge computing network for the full year. Immediate Market Reaction Shares of Cloudflare surged 6% in after-hours trading after the company handily beat analyst estimates across the board. Guidance calling for similar levels of revenue growth in the third quarter and for the full year likely helped the cause, as did a rising net retention rate. Cloudflare stock was up 93% year to date going into the second-quarter report. What to Watch One initiative that could prove significant for Cloudflare in the long run is the company's effort to enable customers to charge AI crawlers for access to their content. "Some of our most strategic wins have been centered around our work to help invent the new business model for content creators on the AI-driven internet," said Prince. Beyond helping customers get a handle on AI crawler traffic, Cloudflare is pushing its platform as the ideal choice for building AI agents. Having an enormous presence already, with more than 20% of websites sitting behind the company's platform, Cloudflare may have an edge over the competition. While Cloudflare didn't say what was driving customer expansion in the second quarter, AI was likely part of the equation.
