    It’s wild to me that Sonos’ subs are nearly as expensive as the speakers they are supposed to get paired with.

    Sonos finally announced its new Sub Mini this morning, after months of Chris Welch scooping them on it.

    It’s exactly what we expected — a smaller version of Sonos’ older Sub — but the $429 price tag is hefty, considering Sonos recommends pairing it with a $279 Ray or $449 Beam soundbar.

    Dark Sky’s days are numbered.

    If you’re still using the Dark Sky app on iOS for your weather forecasts, you’ll soon have to find something else. According to 9to5Mac, Apple has begun displaying a message in the app that it will no longer function after January 1st, 2023.

    Fortunately, iOS 16 has a quite capable weather app built right in that draws from the same data sources as Dark Sky, since Apple acquired the company back in 2020.

    Dark Sky’s message of its impending shut down helpfully points you to use Apple’s new Weather app.

    I bet the 64GB iPhone 12 will be the most popular model this year.

    There’s a report from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo going around stating that demand for the iPhone 14 is less than demand for the 13 was last year during the first pre-order weekend. Given how little has changed with the 14, I’m tempted to say “duh” and that we shouldn’t really think about this gen’s performance until the 14 Plus is released, at the very least.
    But it also made me think that the 64GB iPhone 12 is going to be this year’s iPhone XR. It’s got what the people want: modern look, lots of colors, and the cheapest price on the shelf.

    Samsung has run out of ideas for names of colors.

    The $1,800 Galaxy Z Fold 4 comes in graygreen, phantom black, burgundy, and... beige.
