    Is a clean install faster than upgrade?

    I have a Mac mini 2009 late, this is also my first Mac. I upgrade it from Maverick to El Capitan, I think its speed is too slow and I want to know: If I clean install El Capitan again, will the speed be faster than now in general?

    iPhone X IUP Phone Options

    Curious if you can only choose the Xs and Xr if you’re on the IUP. I have an 8 and was looking into getting the Product Red 8 Plus to see if it’s even an option. Looks like you can only get the two new phones. I assumed the IUP means upgrading to a “new” phone not a more expensive one.

    iPhone X I think my Apple upgrade program pre-order is wrong

    I've been in the Apple Upgrade Program since the first year, and trade in/upgrade every year. Got everything set up and pre-approved to trade in my X for an X Max, it told me I'd need to make the 12th payment at checkout, that's fine, expected that. Midnight comes last night, I checkout with...

    I think I'm going to purchase the 6.5 Model iPhone and a Apple Watch Series 4 LTE. I have the iPhone X and find the screen to be too small for my chunky fingers, and I love the Apple Watch Series 3, best so far, so I'm really excited about the Series 4 and the released details certainly make it...

    Mac Pro GPU Replacement

    Hey guys, I have just acquired a Mac Pro 2008 model which I believe has a Radeon HD 2600 XT inside it. The problem is that it will power on but then shows nothing on the display.
