    iPad mini iPad mini camera equivalents

    Hi there, With regard to the new iPad mini, does anyone know what the equivalent front and rear cameras are from other devices? I ask because I know that the new MacBook Pros received new 12MP FaceTime sensors, but these are actually improved over the Studio Display 12MP camera - so it’s not...

    Black Friday Deals on the New M4 Macs?

    Personally I'm going to buy an M4 mac mini Pro or iMac (probably the mini). Is anyone else holding out for Black Friday deals? I've seen some UK apple dealers already offering 5% off. I wonder if BF will bring larger discounts. Waiting for BF also allows us to check out reviews of these...

    Mac Mini Speakers?

    I'm looking to update my 2017 iMac, to either an M4 iMac or M4 Mac Mini. Many monitors don't come with speakers. My question is - how good are the speakers inside of the Mac Mini? Are they generally as good as the speakers in an iMac/Studio Display, or do people generally buy a set of...

    Should I buy an M4 iMac or M4 Mini Pro (using spare monitor)?

    It's time to replace my trusty 21.5-inch Retina 4K 2017 iMac with an M4 mac. I use it as an everyday machine, but also edit photos and videos using it. The obvious choice is to just get the new M4 iMac that provides a quality all-in-one experience - the screen looks incredible, it will fit on...

    iPad mini iPad mini 7 price...

    I can't get round myself with the mini(s) price(s). It's way smaller than the Air, and yet it's only $100 cheaper, coming at a hefty $500. If there was an up-to-date iPad lineup, the price increase should be proportioned, this way: iPad Mini, iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro. I really never understood...

    iPhone 15 Pro Better size? iPhone 15 Pro v iPhone 16 Pro

    As a iPhone X and 13 Mini fan - I've just picked up a 16 pro and keep wishing it was a little smaller. Has anyone compared the sizes of the 15 pro and the 16 pro side by side, and is there a noticeable difference in handling and one hand usage? The added screen size is not really a benefit...

    iPhone 16 Pro Anyone else upgrading to iPhone 16 Pro from iPhone 12 mini?

    I love the iPhone 12 mini. The form factor is amazing and it still works great to this day... except for one thing --> the battery life. When I work in the office, I'm running out of battery before the day is over. I'm thinking of upgrading to the iPhone 16 or 16 pro. Yes, it's going to be a...

    Fixed Mac mini wifi and mouse issues

    I recently switched from an intel mini to an M2 mini pro, however I've experienced a jumpy mouse that keeps dropping out and slow wifi issues, however I have fixed both of these and wanted to outline what I did in case it can help others. On the mouse question I was using a Tecknet wireless...

    iPhone 13 mini iPhone 13 mini users - will you upgrade or keep using?

    I know the iPhone 12 and 13 mini was created to serve a specific, niche market. I realize that Apple determined the market was not large enough to justify continuing the line with the 14 series. I was so excited for the 13 mini. I was ready for a phone that could not only be held with one...

    Running on iMac Pro 2017 27" - print design only - but when End of Life, and what to upgrade to? Feeling lost!

    Hi all, my wife boosted up her iMac Pro years ago. She's a print designer only - not doing any fancy video or 3d or AI stuff that might need some real grunt. But we love the 27" screen - is not too big, not too little, but just right. End of life Any ideas how long it will last before it...

    Bought an iMac? But wish you bought a ...........?

    After going through months of mental preparation, I'm 'this close' [holding thumb and index finger really close] to clicking that "Purchase M3 iMac" button on the Apple Store website 😁 Before I click that button, I wanted to ask all of you, in my most favorite Mac Forum, if you indeed bought...

    Mini M2 won't recognise my numeric keyboard (cabled).

    My new Mac Mini won't work with my numeric keyboard. The numeric part, that is. Annoying and weird. Mac's seem to become un-user friendly. And don't ask me about Logitech!!!

    Other Going from a Mini to a 15/15Pro - do you regret it?

    The main considerations here are size and weight, given the iOS experience will be almost identical (bar a fiew things, dynamic island, action button, etc.) The voting poll is self-explanatory... do you regret going from a Mini to a 15/15 Pro or are you happy with the move?

    Other Anyone else want a new iPhone mini?

    I’m very disappointed Apple decided to go all big for the new generation of iPhone. I have an iPhone 8, I love Touch ID (I wish they could find a way to bring that back in some ways) and it’s small enough that it can fit anywhere. I don’t need 4 lenses, I have s camera for that and I don’t...

    USB-C to iPhone 13 mini

    What are the chances of buying a replacement USB-C port for iPhone 15 when it comes out in places like iFixIt and swapping with the Lightning port from the iPhone 13 mini? Thoughts?

    iPhone 13 mini Has anyone moved from mini to Pro Max?

    The time has come to replace my beloved iPhone mini for battery purposes. I’m likely to upgrade to the 15 Pro, but I already know it will be a too big for me. I had an iPhone X for 3 years and couldn’t wait to downsize since my thumb couldn’t reach the whole screen. Given that, I’m curious if I...

    Choosing Mac mini based on noise (fan)

    I've had enough of my Intel Mac mini so would like to get a new Mac mini. Noise levels are really important as the spinning up of the fan in my current mini is driving me mad, I have discounted the Studio because of the alleged fan noise. Am I correct? So, what I'd like to know is, is there any...

    External drives continually sleeping and spinning up in M2 Pro Mac mini

    I have a mystery that is driving me nuts, and Apple Support wasn't much help. I have two HDDs in an external drive enclosure that continually sleep and then spin up -- over and over, every 1 - 3 minutes. They may also disconnect themselves while I'm away, but that is a fairly rare event. The...
