This article talks about the advantage that Google has over Apple – the hardware. The earbuds for the Pixel phone acts as a translator for when someone speaks another language and vice versa, the Google apps such as Google cloud is much more integrated within the phones and it gets better with the AI component, Google Assistant – it’s much more smarter and way ahead of Siri.

This is an interesting turn for the market considering Apple has long been considered the top brand and even the standard for personal mobile devices. Google has far outgrown its original status as a simple, but powerful search engine in a once competitive market for internet search tools. This technology, however, has become very ubiquitous, causing Google to expand into a provider of a range of widely used internet-based services and applications, as well as research into new AI and personal computing technologies. It will be interesting to see where the market goes from here and who the technology leaders will be going into the future.
Exactly, google has managed to break into different parts of the technology sectors putting some heat on this rivalry. I think Google will maintain the lead going into the future unless there’s a hidden player we don’t know about.
