Microsoft has been targeting a 2028 launch window for its next Xbox console.
While its plans may have changed, the expected launch window was referenced in a May 2022 meeting attended by top company executives including CEO Satya Nadella, CFO Amy Hood, and head of gaming Phil Spencer, Axios reports.
During the meeting, one Microsoft executive asked the gaming team whether the next Xbox console might move away from having fixed hardware specifications.
“One of the things consoles have been really great at is giving a very clear platform target for developers, and [Game Development Kit] has been really good at this,” said Anuj Gosalia, corporate vice president of immersive experiences.
Another question read: “Is the plan for 2028 to keep that [illegible] like model or force a Windows like flexible/capabilities like model?”
“We have already started this journey with Xbox One and Xbox One X, furthering it in Series S/X,” replied Kevin Gammill, corporate vice president of gaming ecosystems.
“We need to be even more flexible going forward with gen 10, but also provide the ability for creators to take advantage of unique hardware capabilities.”
Discussing the potential launch timing of new hardware in statements provided to the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority last year, Microsoft lawyers said “the next new generation of consoles are not expected to be released before the fall of 2028 at the very earliest”.
Microsoft and Sony both launched their current-gen consoles, Xbox Series X/S and PS5 respectively, in November 2020.
While the companies have previously introduced major upgrades to their consoles after 3-4 years on the market, current-gen supply issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic hit adoption rates and may have impacted the timelines for any planned mid-cycle hardware refreshes.
“As soon as you start doing mid-gen refreshes, you’ve got a bunch of issues in front of developers, on what platform they target,” he told Eurogamer.
Spencer added: “If we get into a console world where, every two years, we now have three or four closed ecosystems that are upgrading their hardware every two years, I’m gonna wonder – how is that helping creators or players? To me it feels like we are creating a ton of complexity for creators and players in something that used to be very simple. And maybe there’s another model for us.”
He also told IGN that he believes “we’re kind of at the end of the beginning” of the current console cycle. “So I think we need to let devs settle on this hardware and get the most out of it.”
It launched two iPhone 15 Pro models, plus two slightly less powerful smartphones, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.
The latest smartphones were unveiled on Tuesday at Apple’s launch event, called “Wonderlust”, at the Steve Jobs Theatre at Apple Park in California.
The event came at a key moment for Apple as global demand for new smartphones slumps to its lowest point in a decade. Apple has also grappled with its longest smartphone sales slump since 2016 after iPhone revenues fell over the summer.
Here is everything you need to know about the new iPhone 15.
iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus: colours, cameras and specs
The standard iPhone 15 phones come in two sizes: 6.1 inches for iPhone 15 and 6.7 inches for iPhone 15 Plus.
It is available pink, green, yellow, blue and black.
The latest model features a 48 megapixel dual camera and an improved 2x telephoto camera, providing users with a more powerful zoom, plus higher quality images and 4K videos.
Apple’s latest range of iPhones will be available from Friday 22 September.

It is powered by Apple’s A16 bionic chip and has an all day battery life. It is water resistant and has a tougher screen.
It will also feature Apple’s upgraded ultrawide wideband chip, which allows users to share their location and find other iPhone users nearby.
The iPhone 15 will also feature advanced machine learning which can remove background noise during phone calls.
The dynamic island, the adaptive notification bar at the top of the screen that arrived on last year’s iPhone 14 Pro, has also made it to the standard models of the iPhone 15.
iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max
Meanwhile, Apple’s more powerful and more expensive iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models are designed using grade five titanium.
This material - which Apple said includes the same titanium alloy used on the Mars rover - means the premium phone should be lighter and more durable than ever.
It features Apple’s strongest-ever display screen and the thinnest screen borders ever featured on an iPhone.
It comes in 6.1 inches for iPhone 15 Pro and 6.7 inches for iPhone Pro Max. It comes in four metallic shades of blue, black, white and stone.

The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max replaces the silent mode switch with a customisable action button, providing users quick access to the camera, torch, or voice memos.
It is powered by an A17 chip, an upgraded microchip which features the industry’s first-ever three nanometre piece of silicon.
The microchip is 10pc faster when it comes to processing power, while the graphics processor on the chip is also 20pc faster.
Meet iPhone 15 Pro & Pro Max! Powered by A17 Pro, which ushers in a new era of Apple Silicon, these products unlock new performance capabilities, amazing photography, next-level gaming, and more. And with an all-new titanium design, they're our lightest weight Pro models yet! pic.twitter.com/kZxWCPj0Vl
Apple hopes that the high-powered chip will transform immersive augmented reality apps and mobile gaming available on iPhones.
Users will be able to play video games on Apple’s smartphones which were previously available only on gaming consoles - including upcoming video game Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
The iPhone 15 Pro has a 3x telephoto camera, while the Pro Max has 5x optical zoom - the longest ever on an iPhone. They both feature a 48 megapixel main camera that can film 4K videos in 60 frames per second.
The Pro will soon be able to capture 3D “spatial” videos which can be viewed on Apple’s Vision Pro mixed-reality headset, which will be shipped early next year in the US.
How much will the iPhone 15 cost?
Prices start at £799 for iPhone 15 and £899 for iPhone 15 Plus. This is slightly cheaper than last year’s iPhone 14, which set consumers back £849.
Prices start at £999 for iPhone 15 Pro, down from the iPhone 14 Pro’s debut price tag of £1,099. The iPhone 15 Pro Max begins at £1,199.
Here is the full price ranges for the iPhone 15:

How will the charging cable change for the iPhone 15?
Perhaps the biggest change people will notice is the new charging cable and port.
The new iPhone will instead come with USB-C, a common charging standard used by Android rivals.

While this kind of charging port has a proven track record for fast-charging phones, it might mean some of your old cables are no longer useful. That’s unless you buy Apple’s £29 adapter dongle.
Still some other Apple devices, such as its MacBook line-up, already use USB-C, and the standard is common for smartphones including most Android devices.
Apple also announced a new version of its wireless earphones AirPods Pro that uses the USB-C standard. The second generation of AirPods Pro includes better active noise cancellation and transparency modes, plus an extended range of ear tips for comfort.
The AirPods Pro (second generation) go on sale Friday 22 September.
Apple Watch Series 9
The Apple Watch Series 9 is the latest addition to Apple’s line of smartwatches and introduces brand new features, which are powered by an all-new S9 microchip.
This includes a new hands-free gesture: double tap. If a user taps their thumb and forefinger together twice, they can use it to answer calls, turn off alarms, and play music without touching the watch.
The device does this by using an algorithm that detects tiny wrist movements and changes to blood flow when users double tap their thumb and forefinger together.
Apple chief operating officer Jeff Williams says: “Double tap makes interacting with your apple watch faster, easier and more convenient. It will become one of those magical experiences you rely on every day”.
Users can also enjoy an enhanced version of Apple’s Siri assistant, which can access and log health and fitness data. Siri will be able to process certain requests on the device, without being connected to WiFi or mobile networks.
The smartwatch includes an updated version of Apple’s ultrawide wideband chip, which provides more precise directions when searching for a misplaced iPhone 15.
The latest generation of Apple Watch comes with an 18-hour battery life.

The company said that the Apple Watch Series 9 is its first ever carbon neutral product, powered by a 100pc recycled battery.
Apple also announced Apple Watch Ultra 2, its more expensive and durable smartwatch.
It is also powered by the S9 chip, meaning its includes the new double-tap feature and more advanced Siri assistant.
The Ultra 2 features a more advanced processor, a brighter screen and a wider watch face. The watch will last 36 hours on a single charge and 72 hours in low battery mode.
It can be used at extreme altitudes, from as low as 500 metres below sea level to as high as 9,000 metres - which is higher than Mount Everest.
The Ultra 2 is considered a carbon neutral product when the watch is paired with Apple’s new Trail Loop or Alpine Loop wristbands, which are both made from recycled content.
How much will the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 cost?
Prices for the Apple Watch Series 9 start at £399, while the Apple Watch Ultra 2 will start at £799. They will be available from Friday 22 September.
Ahead of the release of the iPhone 15, a major software update will land on Apple's existing handsets today.
iOS 17 brings new features including a standby mode that turns your device into a bedside smart display, interactive widgets for the home screen, and the ability to clone your voice with AI.
Sky News has been putting the update through its paces since it rolled out to beta testers earlier this summer, and we've assembled a list of the main things you need to know.
But first, how do you actually get the update?
Check your iPhone is compatible
A good soldier may never leave a man behind, but each year sees Apple kick at least one iPhone off its update list.
This time it's particularly symbolic as one of those to miss out is the iPhone X, which was the first to ditch the once ubiquitous home button when it debuted in 2017.
Also missing out on iOS 17 are the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, but they - like the X - will still get vital security updates.
Any newer iPhones are set for today's changes - if you're not sure what you have, check the model name in your phone's settings under general/about.

Install the update
If you have automatic updates enabled, iOS 17 should arrive without you having to do anything.
It may take a few days, though, so if you're impatient you can force it to install yourself today.
Head to the settings app, then general/about/software update to check if Apple's made it available yet.
Now without further ado, on to the headline new features…

'Ducking' autocorrect
One of the most celebrated announcements when Apple first detailed iOS 17 was upgraded autocorrect.
The iPhone keyboard will now learn how you like to chat, thus no longer "correcting" any vulgar vocabulary you may enjoy using completely intentionally.
Standby mode
For those of you who sleep with your iPhone by your bed, this will turn it into a home hub-like assistant.
When activated, popping your phone on charge and in landscape mode will have the screen display chosen widgets like the clock, calendar, photos, weather, and media playback controls.

Interactive widgets
Apple was late to the widgets party when they finally arrived on iPhone a few years ago, and it's following Android again this time by making them interactive.
It basically means you can have micro limited versions of apps you can operate right from the home screen without actually opening them - ticking tasks off a reminders list, for example.
Calls and messages
The phone app will introduce customisable contact cards, which will show up when you get a call - and you can share them with someone new using AirDrop by bringing your devices close together.
Voicemails are getting more useful, with live transcriptions helping you decide whether to pick up or ignore the call, while you'll also be to leave them in video form via FaceTime.
And messages will adopt a check-in feature similar to apps like HomeSafe, so you can let friends and family know when you're going out and where - sending them an alert when you reach your planned destination, and displaying critical information like battery level and signal strength if there's no response.

Voice cloning and accessibility
The aforementioned voice cloning lets you make an on-demand version of yourself that you can have read aloud any typed phrases - we've tested it and you can read about how it works here.
It's designed for people at risk of losing the ability to speak, or those who find it difficult, and so lives under the accessibility settings - along with other new features like customising Siri's speaking speed.
Privacy and security
You can now share passwords in your iCloud keychain with trusted friends and family members, while the Safari web browser will hide your private sessions behind a facial recognition lock.
Apple's messaging apps, and third-party ones that support it, can now flag sensitive photos and videos to you before you open them - chiefly designed to stop you receiving unwanted nude pics.

Photo recognition
In a big win for multi-pet households, the photos app can now recognise and distinguish between animals.
And if someone sends you a picture of a good-looking plate of food, you can tap the info button and get an online recipe selection for similar dishes.
Mental health
Most people likely associate the health app with tracking runs, swims, and cycles - but it will now offer a way to track mood and assess signs of anxiety and depression.
And a PSA: "Hey Siri" is changing to even easier to accidentally activate "Siri", so be careful out there.
