    iMac prefer ethernet over WiFi

    I have my 2017 iMac hooked up with an ethernet cable, which obviously gives me speeds of approximately 1 Gbit/s. Useful for me for file transfers in my network etc. Recently I got myself a Watch Series 3, which I use to unlock the iMac. This requires WiFi to be enabled on the iMac. So far so...

    iMac "Static/Electrical" buzz sound only when scrolling/minimizing windows?

    Hi everyone, I've had my iMac for a few months and it works great, but I have noticed that there is a static noise every time I scroll down or up a webpage and go back and forth. I looked into it and see that some people are also affected by it and I don't know if anyone has an idea about it. I...

    iPad 2017 iOS11 battery life and gaming performance

    These two questions are specifically important for me. I bought an iPad 2017 (5th gen?) last week and it came with iOS10 pre-installed.

    2017 Holiday iPhone BOGO offers

    Anybody got any good iPhone BOGO offers? So far, the only one I heard of for ATT is through Best Buy. Basically, for the 8 / 8+ you can get a $700 credit which only covers a 64 GB iP8 (or deeply discounts an 8+). The catch is (among a few) they have to be picked up through the ATT Next Plan...

    Thoughts on iMac 2009 in 2017

    I found an offer for a 2009 iMac, 24'', 2.4 Ghz, 320 GB, mouse and keyboard included for £200 (~$263). Seller claims it is in perfect condition. Is it worth it buying it in late 2017? I need it mainly as a screen extension of my MacBook 12'' early 2016. If I use it as a desktop, I will be...

    This afternoon I checked a 2016 MBP without touchbar alongside my 2017 MBP with toucher. I was specifically looking for the difference in haptic feedback between the two devices. I found that the 2016 model has a slightly more clicky kind of feedback whereas the feedback from my MBP is less...
