It's April 23, 2021. It's National Cherry Cheesecake Day and Friday! Why not put the two together and have the best day you can? Here's to the weekend!  ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 409 articles, 15 podcasts, 19 press releases, 499 tweets, and 12 YouTube videos 1. Apple Says AirTags Are for Tracking Items, Not Kids or Pets Could you use Apple's AirTags to track more than an iPhone, like kids or pets? Maybe, but two Apple execs suggest getting an Apple Watch for kids, while pet owners would need to ensure the pet is within range of a device paired with the Find My network. Doesn't sound like a 'no' to us, though! 2. Instagram is Experimenting With Ads In Reels Instagram is testing new ads within Reels, its TikTok competitor. They'll resemble existing ads, and can be up to 30 secs long, but, fortunately, they're also skippable. The test is only in Brazil, India, Germany, and Australia right now, but it'll expand to other areas in the future. US users? We're safe for now. 3. Sony Is Testing a New PlayStation Movies/TV Service PlayStation Plus Video Pass is Sony's new attempt to add video content to its subscription service. Sony says the test it meant to determine "how players will benefit from such a service." We're curious, too, considering you can no longer buy/rent movies and TV shows from the official PlayStation Store. 🦑 Go Deeper Is there anything that can be done to address the ongoing computer chip shortage? Sascha Brodsky has the deep dive on a potential solution that involves a national investment in chip manufacturing. 🎱 By the Numbers A decent amount are pretty popular  Data: Business of Apps Over 1 billion people use Instagram, but of those active users, nearly 50% have less than 1000 followers. The much more impressive stat, however, may be that 37% of users have over 1000 followers. Are they actual people? Who knows, but it makes it look like anyone can be popular if they stick with it.  🔥 Today's Hot Deal
Apple's Smart Keyboard Folio Case for the 11-inch iPad Pro is $80 on Daily Steals right now, down from its usual $200. If that's not a deal, we don't know what is. Grab one before it's gone! 🤓 Nerd Out "Forget hiring a photographer!" —Tim Fisher, General Manager How good is the new Super Resolution feature in Adobe Photoshop? It might be one of the best cases for AI's impact on image quality yet, making older photos look like they were taken on high-resolution cameras.
