    iPhone 16 Pro Max iPhone air or 16 pro max? (Both new and 256gb)

    Hey everyone, I know I made a post earlier about the iPhone air , but I’m a bit torn now. Where I live, the iPhone 16 Pro Max has dropped to around $1150–$1180, while the iPhone Air is about $1000. Now with this price gap I’m not sure which one makes more sense to buy. I’ll use it for about 3...

    iPhone Air Is the iPhone Air worth it in this case?

    Hi everyone, looking for some advice. I’m considering upgrading to the iPhone Air, and I know that in the US it’s widely considered poor value because it’s only $100 less than the 17 Pro. But where I live, prices are completely different. Air is about $999 but 17 Pro is about $1399. Given that...

    Buyer's Guide observation

    Not a major thing but I wanted to ask what the "range" of time is between Apple announcing products and their release. Typically I think most products get an announcement and then are available to order a week later, but historically has there been same-day availability, or products formally...

    iPhone 15 Pro Buying advice iPhone 15 Pro 512 Gb vs 1 Tb

    So, I've waited for iPhones to finally have USB-C and am FINALLY ready to ditch my iPhone 8. I'd need advice if I should go with the 1 Tb or 512 Gb iPhone Pro (the pro max is too big for me personaly). As you can guess, I'm rather a long time iPhone holder, as my i8 still works flawless, apart...

    Any SSD options comparison by speed for New MBPs available yet?

    Hi Everyone! I am planning to buy 14” M2 MacBook- actually I’m pretty decided - 30cMax/32/2TB, but… Want to check for “most attractive” SSD option with good incremental raise in speed i.e Write (I know for each capacity there’s value range)? It’s been 4ish weeks since launch but can’t seem to...

    Where to buy new M2 MacBook Air?

    I'm planning on getting a new Silver M2 MacBook Air, but I'm not sure where to get it from- I saw a good deal on Amazon for $1,349 for a 8/8 Core machine with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD, but the same thing from Apple is only $50 more, and if I buy during the Black Friday Shopping Event, the Apple...

    Other iphone 14 pro 128gb or iPhone 13 Pro Max 256gb?

    So I’m trying to decide between a 128gb 14 pro or 256gb 13 pro max? Both are brand new. The 128gb 14 pro is about $50 - $100 (average of $75 more) in my country. Because, I don’t live in the US so please don’t recommend me to spend a little more for the max or higher capacity or whatever (it is...

    Other iPhone 13 pro max or 14 pro max?

    Hey everyone, I’m debating whether I should get the 13 pro max or 14 pro max. I live abroad and here the difference beetween a brand new 256GB 13PM and 14PM is roughly $330. Is the 14PM really worth that much more with the improved cameras (48mp, action mode, etc), dynamic island, always on...
