Google Has No Taste, Google's Apple Envy, Pixel Poses No Threat to iPhone

Hello everyone.

Today’s update will be dedicated to discussing Google’s “Made By Google 2025” product event held this past Wednesday in NYC. Google uses the event to unveil new hardware ahead of the busy fall season. (Starting in 2023, Google has held the event in August to get ahead of Apple’s big event in September.)

Let’s jump right in.


Google Has No Taste

Before we talk about the products that were unveiled at Made by Google 2025, we need to spend time discussing the event itself.

Wednesday’s Google event easily ranked as one of most ridiculous product unveilings held in the consumer gadget space in the past decade and possibly even longer. Watching it would be a waste of your time.
