Xiaomi has announced that its Android smartphones can now pair with the Apple Watch, a notable break from Apple's restriction of the wearable to iPhones. The move means users can keep an Apple Watch while switching to a Xiaomi Android device. It is drawing attention as an unusual example of cross-ecosystem compatibility between two rival tech companies.

Xiaomi has introduced a new gadget called the Pocket Guitar, designed to attach to smartphones and let users practice guitar chords on the go. The compact accessory is aimed at beginners or players who want a portable way to keep their fingers trained when a real guitar is not available. Details on price and availability remain limited as coverage spreads across tech news outlets.
