Google and Apple are working together to make it easier for users to switch between Android and iOS devices, according to a new report. Recent retail listings and leaked renders (9to5Google) reveal an elongated, pill-shaped design - distinct from the circular natures of Apple’s AirTag and Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag. Identified under model number GA12506 and debuting in a "Fog Light" colorway, the Pixel Tag relies on Google’s updated Find Hub network to locate lost belongings such as keys, wallets, and luggage. The Pixel Tag will be officially showcased at the upcoming Made by Google hardware event, where Google is also expected to announce the Pixel 11 series and the Pixel Watch 5. If Google follows standard regional conversion pricing, the tracker is expected to land at around $29 USD to compete directly against the AirTag. It has also unveiled the Apple TV app, giving customers access to about 150 channels and streaming services. Apple TV+ will feature TV shows, documentaries, and movies from artists such as Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Octavia Spencer, J.J. The subscription promises on-demand and ad-free access to its content through the new Apple TV app. Read more in our articles including "Google and Apple work on easier device switching" and "Google Pixel Tag leaked, set to rival Apple AirTag".
