'for example' in the middle

For example, I can check the weather and my email anytime, anywhere.
-> I, for example, can check the weather and my email anytime, anywhere.

I would like to know if meaning changes if 'for example' phrase is put in the middle of the sentence? Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

P.S If you do not like the example, please would you explain with your examples or you can put the phrase in other spaces.
