    Thinking of buying a digital camera, prob s/h

    As several here know, I have been posting photographs using iPhone6, iPhone7 & latterly iPhone 12 Pro. Unless the iPhone 15 range something else v.special, it might be only the camera quality which prompts me to upgrade. I am therefore thinking instead of using the money saved to buy a...

    iPad Need advice on DIY refurbishing a 2020 iPad

    A cracked-but-still-working 2020 iPad (Model A2428) recently came into my possession via my workplace's IT department.

    Macbook Pro Paper Weight (Scam Victim)

    This story is a warning to all prospective buyers of second hand Apple laptops... I own a mid-2015 MacBook Pro and use it for high-end photo and video editing. It’s got a great spec but was lacking the space/ram and power to grade 4K footage, so I decided upon an upgrade. I aimed high - for the...

    iPhone X This seems like a great time to buy an X

    Checking Craigslist/Kijiji/Ebay prices for the iPhone X, it seems like this is a great opportunity to buy the phone at a big discount. Resale value of the X is tanking. I've never seen resale value of iPhone's drop this much, and it could be because of various things like the newer models...

    Where to go from here?

    Hi all, I'm after some honest advice about my macbook. Please forgive the long post! Context: I've got a 13" Late-2011 MBP with an i5 and 8GB RAM. I bought it brand new in Nov 2011 for Uni as I did a Music Technology course, and has been heavily used since. In that time it's had a whole new...

    Is anyone selling or getting rid of their iPhone7 plus? In good condition, doesn't have to be brand new, second hand is fine. I am looking to purchase one, but not from a store as prices are way out of my price range at the moment!

    Non-Retina i7 4GB RAM vs i5 8GB RAM

    Hey there, I've recently decided to move to Apple products and I have a small dilemma. I was looking to buy a non-retina MacBook Pro since I do not have a lot of cash available. Most Macs I saw that fit my budget had either i7 with 4GB of RAM or i5 with 8GB of RAM. I used a laptop that had an i7...

    Which is better?

    Hello, I'm trying to buy a new (old) 15" macbook pro, I'm most likely going to buy it from a second hand selling site Trademe.co.nz (I'm in New Zealand) The two models which i've got my eye on both have different ups and downs. I'm hoping someone here can help me choose what the better...

    Install OSX on second hand Comuter

    I am buying a second hand 2015 MacBook Air and I want to wipe it completely clean and then reinstall OSX. It's a simple process but how does it work when someone else has owned the computer and the OS is registered to his or her Apple ID? I am guessing it will ask me to enter the Apple ID and...

    Second hand iPhone 6 suddenly find carrier

    I have a weird issue with my iPhone 6 128GB. Much of the time, it has the "stuck on searching for network" issue, and Carrier disappears from the settings menu. The issue is intermittent, but persistent - phone service will restart randomly. Carrier service seems to be consistent. I have had...
