Google’s Attempt to Bring a Subtle Design Change to the Pixel 7 Pro May Have Resulted in the Company Accidentally Copying the iPhone 14’s Biggest Aesthetic Change Instead of a glass visor covering the three cameras, Google has switched to aluminum, which makes the sensors appear prominently in the teaser images that were shared during the keynote.

Eidos Montréal founder Stephane D’Astous came to the same conclusion, as he revealed in an interview that went live earlier today on GamesIndustry.biz. It’s a train that is slowing down and needs some injection of energy or money or something, but the train is slowing down.

Starting on March 28th, Steam’s new rules against fake discounts are as follows:...
