    My IPhone 12 Pro Max was pickpocketed in Paris last week, and I just found out my insurance doesn't cover it! 😭 I can't afford a 15 Pro Max right now (I always prefer to buy the phone outright), so I'm wondering what would be the best older model Iphone to buy reconditioned or second hand to...

    Don’t buy an iMac now???

    I see on the Mac Rumors Buyers Guide that it says DON’T BUY under the iMac. Does that mean it’s not a good computer or that a new model is right around the corner??? I don’t want to buy a new one if that’s the case! Any ideas why they would label it as DON’T BUY??

    iPad Pro Convince me to keep my 2021 iPad Pro 11"

    I've had a 2018 iPad Pro 11" for a few years now and loved it. I'm a heavy Mac user but the iPad has its place for me, despite all the shortcomings of iPadOS.

    Apple Silicone or Intel Mac more reliable

    So I'm sure that a lot of people have already had this question, but I believe my approach is somewhat different. I'm torn between going for the 13 inch MBP with 10th gen Intel CPU or getting a new MB with Apple Silicone, which will most likely release by the end of November. The main factor for...

    All iPads Time to upgrade... buyer advice(standard, Air, Pro?)

    To begin, I'm not asking for you all to decide for me. Ultimately, I will make the choice and just am looking for feedback. My iPad Air 2 has served me faithfully for the last few years. But like all pieces of tech, it has started to show it's age. Some animations stutter, there are weird bugs I...

    AirPods Questions for Owners

    For people who own AirPods, I have a few questions. Is there any BlueTooth hiss? A lot of BT headphones I have tried have a hissing sound that's noticeable when you have them in your ears with no sound playing. Do both microphones work independently? Could I have two people using one earbud...
