  • •Granular category filtering for Pro models helps users target high-demand configurations.
Weaknesses

DryCast – Never run outside to save your laundry from rain again

The Drying Core™ is a neat, physics-forward idea — it uses vapor pressure deficit, wind desiccation, solar irradiance and dew-point prediction to produce a single drying score and actionable windows. I like the fabric-specific timing, on-device processing and low-latency rain alerts/widgets; the missing piece is hard validation data and regional coverage limits (WeatherKit dependence), which will determine if this is indispensable or just clever.
