Weight of the phone is often gets the least attention but it matters greatly for overall use.
The iPhone 13 mini is 30% lighter than the iPhone 16 pro... 30% is nothing to sneeze it

Google's find my alternative called Find Hub is pretty great. The #SONOS Ace can be located via the Find hub. I do not believe non Apple branded headphones have findmy support. Happy to be proven wrong.

We take it for granted how lucky we are to have #opensource software.
It really is magical because not only the source code is publicly available, it's free.
So, do your part. donate 💰
@davx5.com is a good example.

I may have found my next sleep tracker.
It has:
- 7 day battery life
- Arm band instead of a something on the wrist
- Smart Wake Alarm
- HRV status
- stress tracking
- machine washable
Little pricy at AUD300 but no subscription is a plus

The Logitech MX Master 3S mouse has a one-year warranty in Australia and a two-year warranty in the UK.
What the bloody hell? The location of the buyer shouldn't determine the warranty period.
Come on, Logitech, back your product to survive down under.

This #wwdc interview by @Apple executives was not bad.
Perhaps, Apple will do more of these interviews.
I found it interesting that Apple will equip developers to bring AI into their apps by integrating with Apple at the system level.

This is a neat feature on #windows, allowing you to "end task" of the app right from the app icon.
This feature is not enabled by default. Go to Settings > For Developer and enable "end task"
This must be recent because I had not seen this before.
