Jon Westfall and I are joined by Sven Johannsen for this post-May Apple 7 product announcements discussion.

• SimCity inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame
• Email from Google saying Find My Device network will be fully launched on May 13
• Products that we hoped Apple would announce but did not: iPad Mini, iPad speaker dock (similar to Pixel Tablet dock), AirPods Pro 3 with more biometrics, Colorimeter built into the new Apple Pencil Pro
• Apple surprises: iPad Pro lost the wide angle camera lens, the iPad Pro is too thin – would have preferrred large battery with longer battery life
• Things we’re looking forward to at the June Apple WWDC event: A “smarter” Siri; iPad OS 18 gaining a “real” file system
• Google I/O will be on May 14. No new hardware products expected (or already announced). So, will this be an all-AI/only-AI event?
• Sven’s new gadgets: OSMO Pocket 3 Desktop Stand, Pocket 3 Microphone Stick; Belkin iPhone MagSafe Mounts for MacBooks, Desktop/Displays, and Apple TV 4K; USB Conference Speakerphone
