    iPhone heat issue

    hi everyone. My new iPhone 6 with full brightness is heating up where the ear speaker is. It is not hot but very warm there. This issue goes away when brightness is around half. Is this worth me fixing, it’s a very unusual place for heat? Thanks

    Future proofing your MacBook Pro?

    So a couple of things to start. I already purchased my MBP and an external monitor so this is more an academic discussion, for me, perhaps not for others that are still in the process of deciding which options to click when ordering their new 2018 MBP. I just enjoy the banter. Second, I know...

    Should I use Time Machine on my new MBP?

    Hi guys. I currently have an Air from 2012 and today I'm getting a brand new Pro. I have a ton of files on my Air, so the easiest thing would just be to use Time Machine to get the new Pro up and running without losing anything. However, since my Air is so old, I don't know if there'll be a...

    iPhone 8/Plus Will Apple Swap iPhone 8 if new model launched shortly after?

    Hi all, As we all know, we'll very likely (almost guaranteed to) see new iPhones in September. My question is, do Apple allow you to return your newly purchased iPhone if a new model is announced shortly after you do so? For example if I bought an iPhone 8 on September 3rd and they announce the...

    Does this geekbench rating tell us anything about future MBP updates?

    Came across this recently: http://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/8493093 Does this tell us an update is coming shortly? I had been under the impression we wouldn't see any MBP updates in 2018 and possibly 2019.

    About AirPods.

    So basically I want to buy a pair of them. After WWDC and any news about AirPods I'm considering that AirPods are not the priority for Apple. Still concerned about September event but I think if there was something, they should've leaked like all other stuff. :D After all those months, is...

    is my iMac never used before?

    When purchasing a new iMac, how can the buyer be certain or check to know if its brand new and not a used machine or a demo machine placed at some store? Obviously the iMac will not be purchased from some Apple store where things are totally legit and transparent, but from some reseller. So is...

    My hopes for the new MacBooks - upgrading from Air 2013

    I'm using a 2013 MacBook Air, and hoping to upgrade in the next six months. But the newer models feel like downgrades actually - I use standard USB daily and it's gone just like MagSafe. Also the processing isn't much improved, and batteries are worse. Don't get me started on the price. New MBP...

    I just got a brand new Mid-2015 MacBook Pro from a Best Buy and strait out of the box I saw (and can’t unsee) a dent on the bottom corner of the device. Is this a warranted reason for an exchange? Would you deal with it or exchange it for a new one? Especially if you spent $1500+ on this...

    iPhone X damage dent smudge crack out of the box

    First thing I did after opening my iPhone was revise it, analize it. I always do that and place them directly in a case afterwards (look at the soft cloth I used for doing this) Here are the pictures, there's a small dent at the bottom (se how light bends?). And close to it, a smudge which you...
