While the Logitech MX Master 3 is a terrific mouse for the Mac, reports claiming that Apple CEO Tim Cook prefers that mouse over the Magic Mouse are false.
The Wall Street Journal last month published an interview with Cook, in which he said he uses every Apple product every day. Soon after, The Verge's Wes Davis attempted to replicate using every Apple product in a single day. During that...

By the way, my 5S was laggy as hell and suffered bad battery life shortly after upgrading to iOS 9. But the lag resolved itself, probably indicating it was due to the revised Spotlight doing a deep re-index, and possibly other internal optimization processes. And the battery life practically doubled after I let it run all the way down after a couple days of annoyance, then charged it all the way back up. Yup, that trick still works, apparently.
Besides those self-fixing glitches and one email account that went wonky (but returned to normal after I deleted and re-entered it), it's been a smooth upgrade, with gratifyingly nice new capabilities.
