Leaked images indicate a new smart lamp is on its way, with its lampshade fixed at an interesting angle.

There’s no pricing yet, but it appears the wired lamp comes in black or white with a cork base.
I’ve been trying out the new widget, now available in Public Preview, which lets you put shortcuts to Google Home devices directly on your Home screen, and it’s very useful.
It can be resized to one tile, three tiles, six tiles, or a total of 9, and can control devices like lights directly, but cameras and thermostats launch the Home app.
Correction: The widget is still only available in Public Preview, not for everyone, and it has up to 9 tiles.
Apple has a new Focus mode.
Reduce Interruptions uses the company’s new AI to review notifications and only show those that “might need immediate attention” — like a message telling you to pick your child up.
