Consumer Tech News (Nov 18-Nov 22): US DOJ Demands Google To Divest Chrome Browser, Gemini AI Available On Apple & More

by Lekha Gupta Benzinga Editor
Follow

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has demanded that Alphabet Inc.‘s (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google divest its Chrome browser to dismantle its monopoly on online search. This move is part of broader efforts to restore competition in the search market.

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Elon Musk's SpaceX may encounter obstacles in their attempts to block the National Labor Relations Board or NLRB cases.

Prominent venture capitalist David Sacks has predicted a high likelihood of legal action or a breakup of Alphabet Inc.‘s (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google in the next U.S. administration under Donald Trump.

A Chinese state-backed company, Spacesail, is preparing to launch a satellite service in Brazil, posing a challenge to Elon Musk‘s SpaceX operated satellite service, Starlink.

Gaming

Sony Group Corp. (NYSE:SONY) is reportedly in discussions to acquire Kadokawa Corporation, the Japanese media powerhouse known for its extensive portfolio of anime, manga, and video games, including the global hit Elden Ring.

Sony has released a significant update for its PlayStation Portal handheld device, introducing cloud streaming for PlayStation Plus Premium members.

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has unveiled its upcoming additions to Xbox Game Pass for the second half of November, featuring high-profile launches and exciting indie gems.

Microsoft launched a long-awaited feature for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members, allowing them to stream select games they already own via Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Technology

Google announced its AI assistant Gemini is now available for download on Apple Inc.‘s (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPhone as an app. 

Google Gemini AI chatbot came under scrutiny after reportedly telling a user, “You are a stain on the universe. Please d*e."

The development of a new artificial intelligence-based version of Amazon.com‘s voice assistant Alexa is reportedly facing significant challenges, according to internal memos.

Smartphone

Google and Apple have long been discussing integrating Gemini into the iOS ecosystem. However, the timeline for this integration may not happen until next year.

Apple is preparing to urge a federal judge to dismiss the U.S. Department of Justice's case accusing the company of unlawfully monopolizing the smartphone market.

Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. is set to initiate mass production of its latest AI chip, the Ascend 910C, in early 2025, despite facing significant hurdles due to U.S. trade restrictions.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Elon Musk has predicted that AI will surpass doctors and lawyers after a study revealed OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 outperformed medical professionals in diagnosing illnesses.
