Disney Plus just lost 700,000 subscribers, but that won’t stop another price hike – far from it

But the service is making more revenue than ever.

Disney Plus has lost 700,000 customers since September 28, 2024, likely due to price increases and its password-sharing crackdown, but I have bad news for you: that’s not going to stop Disney from raising prices again. In fact, Disney’s tactics have been a complete success.

So ’s earnings study, in the US and Canada, Disney Plus went from making an average of $[website] million a month to $[website] million, and overall, it went from $[website] million to $[website] million per month.

Google Pixel 9a: latest news, rumors, and everything we’ve heard so far

The Google Pixel 9a could prove a compelling alternative to the Google Pixel 9, since this upcoming mid-ranger is likely to cost less, yet might not be much of a specs downgrade.

Nothing is known for certain yet, but the Pixel 9a has been extensively rumored, pointing to a phone with solid specs and a surprising redesign.

You’ll find everything we’ve heard about the Google Pixel 9a below, and we’ll upgrade this article whenever we hear anything more.

The next mid-range Pixel When is it out? Possibly March 19.

Possibly March 19 How much will it cost? Possibly $499 / £499 / AU$849.

The starting price might be the same as the Pixel 8a's.

We can get quite specific about when the Pixel 9a might launch, as one source indicates the phone will go up for pre-order on March 19.

Now, they don’t mention the actual announcement date, but given that the Google Pixel 8a went up for pre-order on the day of its announcement, there’s a good chance March 19 will be the announcement date too – if this source is right. They also claim that the Google Pixel 9a will start shipping on March 26.

Given how much we’ve now heard about the Pixel 9a, these imminent dates are believable, but it’s worth noting that the Pixel 8a didn’t launch until May of last year.

We also have an idea of how much the phone might cost, with one early Pixel 9a price leak pointing to a starting price of $499.

Since then, the same site reiterated that claim, but added some more details, saying that the $499 Pixel 9a model will have 128GB of storage, and that there will also be a 256GB version for $599.

If so, then the starting price – at least in the US – will be the same as that of the Pixel 8a. Assuming the price is the same elsewhere too, we’ll be looking at a starting price of £499 / AU$849.

However, $599 for 256GB would be $40 more than last year, which might mean a similar increase to perhaps around $599 / AU$999 elsewhere.

You will probably at least get some freebies thrown in with the phone though, with one leak saying the Pixel 9a will come with a six-month subscription to Fitbit Premium, a three-month subscription to the 100GB tier of Google One, and a three-month subscription to YouTube Premium.

Given that the Pixel 8a only landed back in May, we’d take asserts of a March launch with a pinch of salt, but as no information disagree with this and the phone has extensively leaked, it’s believable.

We’re also inclined to believe the starting price might not increase – at least in the US, though until more insights chime in we can’t be at all sure.

Bigger and lighter, with a questionable redesign.

The Pixel 9a could have a [website] 120Hz screen.

Its cameras might look very different to the Pixel 8a's.

It could be lighter than the current model.

We first got a look at the possible Google Pixel 9a design back in August, with photos of what’s likely a prototype unit.

These images – which you can see below – show a very different camera design to either the Pixel 8a or the Pixel 9. The camera bar of those phones is gone, and replaced by a glossy, almost flat ring around the lenses.

It’s not a design we love but it’s one we may well be getting, because since then we’ve seen photos of another Pixel 9a prototype and some Pixel 9a renders, all of which you can see below, and all of which show this same design.

These subsequent images also gave us a closer look at the front of the phone, though not as much has changed there, with this having a flat screen and a punch-hole selfie camera.

We’ve also heard that the Pixel 9a might have dimensions of [website] x [website] x [website], which would make it slightly taller and wider than the [website] x [website] x [website] Pixel 8a. Does that mean the Pixel 9a will have a bigger screen? Quite possibly, because another source agrees with those dimensions, and adds that the Pixel 9a’s display will be [website] inches – up from [website] inches on the Pixel 8a.

This second source adds that it will unsurprisingly be a 120Hz display, and that the Pixel 8a will weigh 186g, which is slightly surprising as the supposedly smaller Pixel 8a is a little heavier at 188g.

Finally on the design front, we’ve also heard that the Pixel 9a’s colors might include Porcelain (off-white), Obsidian (black), Peony (pink), and Iris (bluish-purple). Of those, only Iris would be particularly new for the Pixel line.

Given how many insights have shared images of the Pixel 9a, we’d say it’s likely that this is the design we’ll see.

The dimensions are also probably accurate, since again they come from multiple insights, and as that makes the phone bigger than its predecessor it’s likely to also have a larger screen.

The colors and weight we’re less sure of though until we hear the same from other information.

From the various leaked images we’ve seen it’s looking likely that the Google Pixel 9a will have a dual-lens camera, and beyond that, one source has claimed that the Pixel 9a will have a 48MP main camera and a 13MP ultra-wide one, along with a 13MP front-facing snapper.

The Pixel 8a also has 13MP ultra-wide and selfie cameras, so those sensors might be the same, but that phone has a 64MP main camera. In other words then, the main camera here might be upgraded, or at least changed.

As only one source has spoken about the camera specs so far, we’d take them with a pinch of salt, but we’re almost certain that the Pixel 9a will have a dual-lens camera.

, the Google Pixel 9a will have a Tensor G4 chipset paired with 8GB of RAM and a choice of 128GB or 256GB of storage. Another source has also claimed the Pixel 9a will have that chipset, which is no surprise, as the rest of the Pixel 9 line uses a Tensor G4. Those RAM and storage amounts would be the same as the Pixel 8a though, so there might not be any upgrades on that front.

That second source also proposes to expect seven years of Android updates, and we’ve heard that the Pixel 9a might have a 5,000mAh battery with 18W wired and [website] wireless charging.

Those are the same charging speeds as the Pixel 8a, and a little lower than the Pixel 9, but at 5,000mAh its battery would be bigger than either of those phones.

The Pixel 9a will almost certainly use a Tensor G4 chipset, since its predecessor uses the Tensor G3. Most of these other indicates are believable too but we’re a bit skeptical that it will have a 5,000mAh battery, since leaks suggest it will be lighter than the Pixel 8a, and a bigger battery is sure to add some weight.

Nvidia could be drastically reducing RTX 4060 GPU supply right now – another heavy hint that the RTX 5060 is imminent

Nvidia is apparently scaling back RTX 4060 production, big time.

This is another hint that the RTX 5060 could be arriving in March.

Don’t panic if you want an RTX 4060, though, as they aren’t going to be disappearing off shelves anytime soon.

Nvidia is now drastically reducing the production volume of its RTX 4060 graphics cards, if fresh speculation from those apparently in the know is correct.

The first thing to be aware of is that this comes from the Board Channels forum in China (via VideoCardz), a regular source of gossip on hardware-related happenings populated by folks who are close to the supply chain over in Asia.

As such, the rumor pertains specifically to that region, but if Nvidia is pulling back supply of chips for RTX 4060 graphics cards in Asia, the same thing will surely be happening on a global scale.

, from February – so this is already underway – Nvidia is reducing RTX 4060 chip supply to its third-party graphics card manufacturing partners by at least 60% (compared to the final quarter of 2024).

Put simply, that means we could be looking at only a third of the volume of chips being produced by Nvidia and supplied to card makers, which would mean an identical drop in the level of new RTX 4060 (and 4060 Ti) graphics cards coming to the market.

As ever, though, this is just a rumor, so be careful about believing it too readily.

Analysis: Even if this is correct, the move will take time to filter through.

The reason why Nvidia might be running down production – to a large extent – on a popular graphics card would seem to be obvious. In short, this is another clear indication that the RTX 5060 is imminent, with a number of rumors suggesting that this graphics card is set to launch in March 2025.

So, if the successor to the RTX 4060 is due to be unleashed next month, it’d fully make sense that this current-gen graphics card would start to be ushered out the door by Nvidia from around about now.

Again, exercise caution around the rumors for the RTX 5060 launch, but all these small pieces of the puzzle seem to be fitting together nicely enough.

Does this mean that, in theory, you soon won’t be able to buy an RTX 4060? No, it’s not as simple as that. Even if this two-thirds slashing of production is underway right now, it will take a while before that impact is felt on graphics cards that are actually shipping. Furthermore, there’s going to be quite a lot of stock in warehouses and other parts of the distribution cycle, too, and even when all of that sells through, there will still be some RTX 4060 boards being made.

This graphics card is still going to be on shelves for some time, then, but it will become rarer as this year rolls on, assuming this rumor is correct, as the RTX 5060 takes the limelight on the lower-mid-range GPU stage.

I’ll put my hands up and admit, I was skeptical that Nvidia would launch the RTX 5060 as soon as March, following the RTX 5070 so closely – but it increasingly seems like this is going to be the case.

It’s also worth noting that we just heard another positive rumor on the topic of the RTX 5060 and its cabling, with the GPU apparently not needing a 12VHPWR power connector (which will make upgrading a lot easier, and we go into exactly why this is the case here, if you’re interested).
