Apple introduces iPhone Pocket.
OK, I get that this type of phone carrier is quite popular in parts of the world, much like the crossbody strap.
But the price. Oof.
- $149.95 for the short strap
- $229.95 for the shoulder strap
Anyone buying this?

Apple is not using Gemini to "power" Siri, no matter how many times it is asserted.
Will it be available as a tool for Siri to throw some tasks to? Sure. But Siri is still powered by Apple Intelligence, and soon, app intents will feed data into that mix.
The LLM backend of Siri will be Apple based

Nike's "Project Amplify" is like an e-bike for your feet.
The shoes have a piston connected to a band that goes around your calves, gives you, in effect, a second set of calf muscles so you can walk/run faster.
To what end? Not sure. But seems pretty cool.

And none of the failures blame AWS, they just put up an error message. Or the interface gets a little screwy.
