iMac Pro Screen downgrade + TB3 PCI-E/SATA All In One Enclosure + Reliability?
Hello, I am wondering about the following. 1. Is it possible to "downgrade" the screen on the iMac Pro? I have one with a cracked bezel, but the screen itself is fine. I wouldn't mind downgrading the panel to a lower resolution, if possible. Should this be feasible? 2. Is there any...- elitistjerk

2020 MBP - Want my old performance back :)
So, back in 2020 this MBP was a huge upgrade from my old Air. I couldn't believe the snappiness but needless to say, moving from BigSur up to now Sonoma makes it feel really sluggish. I've uninstalled stuff which isn't needed, cleared SMC/NVRAM etc, regularly run cleanmymac, closed apps etc but...- WhatAmI

Downgrade to previous MacOS saving data
I foolishly believed Apple that Ventura is nice, so I upgraded not making time machine backup prior to that. Little did I know... Can't believe now how bad it is compared to Monterey!

iPhone 13 Pro Max Major DOWNGRADE from an 13 Pro-Max to the original iPhone SE: What problems can I expect?
I have a 13 PM and I'm almost ready to switch to this iPhone SE, but I'm still a little hesitant to pull the trigger... WHY DOWNGRADE? The 13PM is just so big and bulky and I'm willing to sacrifice all that camera stuff like Telephoto, Portrait and Wide because I really REALLY love the 4-inch... -

So, I am somehow not happy with my new iPhone 14 256 (non-pro). There are two reasons: blurry camera which is not defect of this particular item but a feature of this model. It seems it is called shallow focus. 60 Hz LED display, that makes looking at text scrolling somehow painful. I don't... -
