As surely as phone launch follows phone launch in the fall, Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has set a launch event for its new Pixel phone line.
That comes just after Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) announced an event in two weeks (on Sept. 12) to roll out its iPhone 15.
"The w8 is almost over," Google says in an invitation to the event, now sure to show off its Pixel 8 update. "Tune in to Made by Google on October 4th."
That was joined by a video poking fun at the iPhone (and its expected USB-C port update) posted on the Google Pixel account at Threads.
Just as Apple (AAPL) is expected to roll out its new mobile operating system and updates to the Apple Watch, Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) will show off a new version of its Android operating system and likely a new Pixel Watch, as well, as possible updates to the company's earbuds line or perhaps more.
