    All iPads Which iPad to upgrade my 2020 A12Z Pro 11” to?

    Currently I have an iPad Pro 2020 11 inch A12Z that I was generously given by my university during the COVID pandemic, which I have used ever since. However, it’s definitely starting to feel its age: I’m lucky to get a day out of a full charge, and it’s starting to feel a bit sluggish when it...

    iPhone 17 Thinking of Upgrading from iPhone 12 – Should I Go for iPhone 17 or Even Consider the 16?

    Hey folks 👋 I’m currently using an iPhone 12 and thinking about upgrading, but I’m not 100% sure if I should jump straight to the iPhone 17 lineup—or if the iPhone 16 might still be a solid choice for my needs. Here’s what I’m looking for: Better display outdoors: I often use my phone in...

    Other Pro to Base 17 Thread

    Me and my wife currently own a 16 Pro Max and a 15 Plus. I just ordered two base 17s as an upgrade for us. I am not paying anything extra for this but this move allows me to move to a phone with better brightness, better processor, less weight at the cost of a telephoto lens. My wife of course...

    Other iPhone Upgrade Dilemma: Every Year or Every Few?

    I’ve been thinking about the whole “when to upgrade” question, and I’m curious how others see it. On one hand, upgrading every year has its perks-resale values stay strong, you always have warranty cover, and you’re using a phone that’s basically brand new. In some cases, the gap between what...

    Other 16 PM to Base 17 - value dilemma

    So currently me and wife own a 16 pro max and a 15 plus. Now I thought I'd be keeping the 16 PM for a while but then I realized since I have the 1TB variant, I could sell both the 15 plus and 16 PM allowing both of us to upgrade to the base 17 for nothing or a minor price. I am just not sure if...

    Desperately need a new computer, but my eyes are not cooperative

    I'm running on fumes with a 2010 iMac. It is long over-due for an upgrade, but I have had crazy issues with eye fatigue/straining/burning when I try to use other monitors. I thought at first it might be a transition thing that I need to get used to, but I've spent an entire month trying to get...

    Adding storage

    So it's possible to upgrade the internal storage of a new Mac, but my response to this video is HELL NO! I bought an external 8 TB Samsung SSD, and it was a fraction of cost of buying that much internal storage at the time of purchase and way easier than trying to replace the storage. For the...

    Feedback welcome on network upgrades.

    Hey all, I'll do my best to keep this question / discussion quick and to the point. After Apple stopped supporting the Airport extreme, I was in need of a new router, and with trial and error settled on the Asus RT-AX86U. With that said, being the Airport Extreme is a 3x3 router (6th...

    iPhone 16 Pro Do you regret upgrading from the iPhone 15 to the iPhone 16?

    I upgraded from the 15 pro to the 16 pro despite the lack of major updates. Truthfully, I’m loving the 16 pro more than I ever loved my 15 pro. The cameras are definitely improved, and I am a content creator who does 85% of my filming on iPhone. The phone feels heavier which just feels...

    Farewell to my mid-2015 15" Pro, welcoming an M4 14" Pro

    My mid-2015 15" Pro has been my ride or die since getting it. It has taken me through a whole bachelor's degree and beyond. It's a 16/256 model with 4 core i7 processor. Still pretty fast for my needs, boots up quickly, and is still in mint condition. That made it hard to move on, but I have...

    MacBook Air Purchase

    Merry Christmas. I have a four year old MacBook Pro (with Intel), and I'm considering replacing it soon with a MacBook Air with M3. My MacBook Pro is a 13", and I will probably splurge for the 15" as I no longer use a desktop Mac. Does anyone here know when the next model Air is due...

    All iPads Do you recommend always backing up before an iOS or an iPad OS update AND upgrade?

    Curious what people's habits are — and what their general advice is about installing new versions of the iOS and iPad OS software. And, whether your approach differs between updating and upgrading. For example, updating, say from 17.6.1 to 17.7, seems straightforward, whereas upgrading, that...
