Google rolled out Gemini Intelligence, an AI umbrella spanning phones, watches, cars and laptops. Its headline feature lets users snap a flyer and ask Gemini to book tickets, while Create My Widget builds home‑screen widgets from natural‑language prompts using Gmail and Calendar data. The company also introduced the Googlebook, a Gemini‑centric laptop line from Acer, Asus, Dell, HP and Lenovo arriving this fall today.

Fitbit Air debuted as a screenless tracker priced at $99, shipping May 26. Weighing 12 grams, it monitors heart rate, AFib, HRV, SpO2 and sleep stages, and offers seven‑day battery life with a five‑minute fast charge. A Stephen Curry edition sells for $129, while Google Health Premium adds an AI Coach for $9.99 a month after a trial, expanding Google’s health ecosystem now.

Apple Watch Series 12 appears to be an incremental update, with Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman saying no major redesign until 2028. Leaker Instant Digital notes Touch ID has been pushed back in favor of longer battery life, while rumors suggest a new chip improving on the S10 and an eight‑sensor array on the back. watchOS 27 will be showcased at WWDC on June 8.
