A new iPhone to add to the mix: the iPhone Air.  

Is it really the thinnest iPhone? The body is, but not the camera area!  

The announcement that caught my eye: eSIM is now the standard. It makes it much easier to change providers or grab a data plan when you're overseas. There's no need to try and track down a packet and remember where you put your old SIM card, you can subscribe fully digitally and be connected in seconds.  

 

Spotify's music quality is stepping up  

And they won't be charging you extra for the improvement, which is nice. It's rolling out to 50 markets around the world and New Zealand is on the list. Spotify says subscribers should receive a notification in the app as lossless becomes available, but you will need to manually select it in your settings. This has been a LONG time coming. In 2021, Spotify claimed it was “coming later this year”, and by May of 2024 it was “almost ready.”  

 

Specialist AI Agents are coming to Microsoft's Copilot AI offering  

The Sales, Service and Finance Agents will be part of the general Copilot offering, instead of being their own subscriptions. It'll mean you effectively get free access to them instead of needing an extra subscription, which Microsoft hopes will simplify things for businesses.  

The finance agent for example can now integrate with your enterprise resource planning (ERP) tool, like SAP, and bring that data directly into Copilot, Excel, and Outlook to help finance teams manage tasks and gain faster insights. So you could draft an email to a client requesting payment and it'll grab the data direct from your system.
