Fyi this is just the best known packing of 17 squares, there might be a better one. We just haven't been able to proove it or find a better one since 1998

The posted arrangement is the tightest known packing of 17 squares. The outer square has a side length of 4.6756 times a small sqare's. So unless you've just found one no mathematician has thought of since 1998 yours is slightly larger.

Edit:
I found this tool to play around and your packing is 4.7 https://markorastas.github.io/PackingProblem/

Edit edit:

###Desktop windowing Desktop windowing enables greater productivity by providing a familiar interface to arrange and resize overlapping windows. See Support multi-window for information on how to support desktop windowing.

Sounds like tablets become more desktop like, like iPads?

###Default contacts account Android users lose some contacts when they switch to a different device. To reduce the loss of contacts, Android 16 introduces the concept of a default account for contacts. To support this feature, your Contacts app should:

Promote cloud sync options to prevent loss of contacts over time Ask users if they want to move their local and SIM contacts to cloud default accounts Discourage creation of new local and SIM contacts

Da heck, what do they mean we lose some contacts when migrating?
