Apple has just come out with some new phones that have terrible names: iPhone Xs and Xr or in caps XS and XR. There is a third iPhone, which is called the X max.
Alexa and its rival Google Assistant are taking the world by storm. Alexa keeps expanding its functions every month to include calling and messaging, news and information, smart home, playing Alexa’s games and voice shopping. Alexa can tell you the weather, the time, the day, set an alarm, make a list, etc. The list is becoming endless and so Alexa is becoming an important adjunct to one’s life.
