Google has rolled out the expanded SafeSearch for everyone, where it will blur explicit images in an attempt to make the internet a safer place for families. A new leak has revealed iPhone 15 Pro dummy units that purportedly show the new color options. This and more in the Tech briefing today. Take a closer look. ## Google to expand SafeSearch Google has enhanced SafeSearch to bolster online child protection. The extended SafeSearch feature now automatically obscures explicit content like violence and adult material. This protective measure applies even if SafeSearch isn't manually enabled for users under the age of 18 in an attempt to make the internet a safer place. Furthermore, parents and school network administrators have the option to lock this setting, preventing children from disabling it. This added layer of security ensures a safer online environment for young users, minimizing exposure to inappropriate content in search results.

These dummy units, recently shared on X (formerly Twitter) by tech reviewer Sonny Dickson, showcase the iPhone 15 Pro in rumored colors: Space Black, Titan Gray, Blue, and Silver. However, concerns have arisen about the colors, which some describe as dull and nearly indistinguishable. Also read click here. The muted appearance is attributed to Apple's new textured titanium design, which struggles to replicate vibrant hues compared to the previous stainless steel coating. Despite these concerns, potential buyers are urged to await the official iPhone 15 launch before making a decision, as dummy units are not always accurate representations.
