    As an XS Max owner I think I'm in the market for a new phone this year. My phone prior to the XSM was the 6S+.

    Upgrading from MBPro 15" 2017 (i7 2.9, 1TB)... I decided to go with the 13" for developing (iOS, web, Android). The screen size really does not matter because I will be using it connected to external monitor (work, home) for 90% of the time - mostly closed / sometimes coding. Portability, fast...

    Hi! I have a little question... Is it worth buying PCalc if I already have CalcBot? Maybe someone has experience with both applications. I must tell you that value doesn't matter. I'm one of those people who can spend last money for a new app.
