Huawei could see its embargo eased by the United States, Google could increase the storage of its Pixel 7 and Disney would have the idea of increasing the subscription for its streaming platform, this is the recap of Thursday, September 15!
It’s time for the traditional recap of yesterday’s day! We had a lot of little things, like a Chinese company that could reconnect with Google, smartphones that will see their storage increase compared to previous models as well as a streaming service that will certainly see an increase in its prices… again . Let’s go !
Huawei could see US sanctions eased
Huawei has been under embargo since 2019 and is unable to work with US companies. A very concrete handicap, since he cannot use Google services on his phones. Things could change in the future. According to Bloomberg, the US Department of Commerce would be ready to let go of the companies on its blacklist. For this, the Chinese giant will have to respect certain very specific standards. Nothing has been decided yet, but it’s a first step towards, why not, the return of the Play Store to the brand’s smartphones.

Pixel 7s could finally have decent storage
The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro will be presented at a conference on October 6. According to some leaks, they could offer models with 256 GB of memory. A first for Pixel terminals! Google only sells smartphones with 128 GB of storage (not expandable), which is a bit tight for those who like to store their photos on their phone.

The price of Disney+ will go up… again
Disney+ will continue to increase its prices. The streaming service is currently at 8.99 euros per month, 2 euros more than when it launched. While a Premium offer will be launched in the United States (the current subscription will accommodate advertisements), the CEO of Disney reveals his strategy. During a conference, Bob Chapek felt that the price of the service was still too low compared to the proposed offer. For him, there is still room to increase prices a little more. Ouch.
