Google I/O 2025 announcements: Gemini 2.5 models, Imagen 4, Veo 3 and Flow
Google I/O 2025 was a big one with a host of announcements, mostly focused on AI. We got updates and new features for the Gemini 2.5 models (Pro and Flash), alongside the more powerful Imagen 4 image generator, and Veo 3 AI video generator. Google also unveiled Flow - a dedicated AI filmmaking tool that combines Imagen, Veo and Gemini models to create cinematic scenes from simple text prompts.
Gemini 2.5 brings extended language support to over 24 languages with text-to-speech and expressive voices. Google claims improved reasoning, multimodality, coding and long context capabilities for both Flash and Pro models.
The big new update on the Pro model is the added Deep Think reasoning mode for highly complex math and coding tasks. The feature is still in its 'experimental' phase and will be released to trusted testers soon. Google says it can consider multiple hypotheses before responding.
Gemini 2.5 Pro is now the leading AI mode on WebDev Arena and LMArena benchmarks. It offers enhanced coding and web app building tools and up to a 1 million token window for long context understanding. Gemini 2.5 also improves security against indirect prompt injections.
Gemini 2.5 Flash is available in preview to all users in the Gemini app, while its general release is coming later in June. Gemini 2.5 Pro's commercial release will follow shortly after.
Imagen 4 can now output images in up to 2K resolution. Google claims it improved text accuracy in generated cards, posters and comics. Imagen 4 is available starting today across the Gemini, Google Workspace, Whisk and Vertex AI apps.

Veo 3 is Google's latest AI video model and features improved text-to-video prompt recognition. It can output video with sound, character dialogue and background noises. Veo 3 is available starting today for Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US and Vertex AI enterprise users.
Veo 2 is getting camera movements, object addition and removal functionality. Users can also add images for style control and outpainting to extend frames beyond the original borders.
Flow is Google's new AI filmmaking tool which combines the capabilities of the Veo, Imagen and Lyria models for cinematic scenes with more detail. Google claims Flow can help storytellers create exceptional cinematic clips that excel at physics and realism. Users can control camera motion, angles and perspectives. You can also edit and extend previously generated videos. Google Flow is now available to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the US.

Base iPhone 17 display size is inadvertently confirmed by a case manufacturer
Referential image of the Apple iPhone 16 series lineup. | Image credit — PhoneArena iPhone 17 would see a slight bump in screen size, moving up from the 6.1 inches found on the This backs up an earlier rumor from May that suggested thewould see a slight bump in screen size, moving up from the 6.1 inches found on the iPhone 16 . If true, it would bring the standard iPhone more in line with the Pro model in terms of size, even though the quality of the display is still expected to differ between the two. iPhone 16 lineup includes a 6.1-inch display on the base model, 6.3 inches on the Pro, 6.7 inches on the Plus, and 6.9 inches on the Pro Max. Based on what we know, the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro will both feature 6.3-inch screens, the Pro Max will likely stick to 6.9 inches, and a new model — possibly called the At the moment, thelineup includes a 6.1-inch display on the base model, 6.3 inches on the Pro, 6.7 inches on the Plus, and 6.9 inches on the Pro Max. Based on what we know, theandPro will both feature 6.3-inch screens, the Pro Max will likely stick to 6.9 inches, and a new model — possibly called the iPhone 17 Air — is rumored to replace the Plus variant with a 6.6-inch display. Receive the latest Apple news By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy It's important to note that while the size might be the same, the display panel on the iPhone 17 Pro will likely be superior. Apple typically reserves features like higher refresh rates and brighter displays for its more expensive models. So even if the base iPhone 17 matches the Pro in size, it probably won't look or perform the same when it comes to screen quality. As for how users will feel about the change, that could vary. A 6.3-inch display may strike a good balance for those who want more screen without going too big. But people who prefer compact phones might not be as happy with the size increase. From our perspective, smaller screens are easier to use with one hand and more pocket-friendly, so a jump in size could take some adjustment. Still, this possible change could be part of Apple's effort to bring more consistency across its product lineup. Case makers like Spigen sometimes reveal this kind of detail before Apple does, but we'll have to wait for the official announcement later this year to know for sure.

Apple's Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 with heart rate tracking are on sale at a new record high discount
Will Apple's next big addition to the industry-leading AirPods family stand out from most of the best wireless earbuds out there right now in any meaningful way? Maybe... and maybe not, but until that happens (or not), the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are already around, and for a limited time, they can be picked up at a pretty much impossible-to-beat price. $85 off (34%) True Wireless Earbuds with Secure Fit Earhooks, Active Noise Cancellation, Personalized Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking, Transparency Mode, Adaptive EQ, Apple H2 Chip, Heart Rate Monitoring for Workouts, IPX4 Water Resistance, Up to 10 Hours of Uninterrupted Listening Time, Up to 45 Hours of Total Battery Life with Wireless Charging Case, Android and iOS Compatibility, Four Color Options, Grade A Refurbished, 1-Year Warranty Included Buy at Woot Of course, a discount of $85 trumps a $50 price cut... that's no longer available at Woot's parent company or anywhere else across the web. The catch? You need to be okay with a "grade A refurbished" pair of second-gen Powerbeats Pros if you want to save 85 bucks... and hurry, as Woot's first-ever deal on this product is set to expire at the beginning of next month. That's only eight days away at the time of this writing, and as always with Woot promotions, there's a chance the e-tailer will run out of inventory ahead of the official expiration date. Right now, you can choose from Jet Black, Quick Sand, Electric Orange, and Hyper Purple models, each of which is more eye-catching than the previous color option and all of which include a 1-year warranty as standard. That last part truly makes this new deal irresistible, especially once you consider everything that the Powerbeats Pro 2 have to offer beyond their somewhat experimental heart rate tracking capabilities. I'm talking cutting-edge Personalized Spatial Audio technology with dynamic head tracking support, top-of-the-line active noise cancellation, respectable IPX4 water resistance, stellar 10-hour battery life between charges, an even more impressive 45-hour endurance rating with the charging case factored in, and perhaps most notably, a comfort-focused design that manages to somehow be both iconic and imaginative, rethinking the OG Powerbeats Pro's look sans sacrificing stability even during your lengthiest music listening sessions.

Nothing Headphones (1) leak on video
Nothing will release its first-ever over-ear headphones alongside the upcoming Nothing Phone (3) – that's happening on July 1 (Tuesday). The company has created a suitably kooky design, which leaked a few days ago. Now, an even bigger leak has hit the web. This video is based on unconfirmed info, but offers potential answers to some burning questions. For example, what's with that weird square shape? The additional internal volume could help the drivers 'breathe' better – this would improve sound quality and ANC. Speaking of sound quality, Nothing struck up a partnership with KEF earlier this year – KEF is a British company that builds high-end audio products and has agreed to tune the Headphones (1) (and other Nothing products). Anyway, the headband doesn't fold, but the ear cups can be rotated 90° to lie flat. There is an assortment of buttons and sliders to control volume and playback. You can see a USB-C cable plugged into the headphones, a 3.5mm plug is a possibility. Nothing Headphones (1) (leaked images) In terms of price, the Nothing Headphones (1) will be $300 in the US (yes, these are coming to the US and Canada) and €300/£300 in Europe. Via 1 | Via 2
