So it's no big surprise that Google on Tuesday is expected to unveil the next generation of its "Made by Google" line of devices. The rumors call for new Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones to compete against recent updates of Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy Note phones. A revised version of its Google Home speaker, reportedly called the Home Hub, adds a screen.

But despite all the new hardware, Google, which turned 20 years old last month, is a search company above all else. Its raison d'être, its worldwide name recognition and its cash-minting business are rooted in being able to deliver search results to you. So for all the attention that's going to be paid to the shiny screens and matte finishes unveiled at its event in New York, make no mistake: This is still all about Google's software services -- and how they can find out more information about you.
