    iPhone 15 Pro What phone did you upgrade from and have you noticed a difference?

    Personally I had an iPhone 13 128gb and have chose the iPhone 15 Pro. The camera is night and day and I do really notice the smooth scrolling from the 120hz display. AOD is pointless imo, but I like the dynamic island. Also my eyes don’t feel as jaded reading in dark mode at night. Battery is...

    I've a 12 Pro with 86% battery health and seeking to upgrade to iPhone 15 Pro. But I'm curious as to whether I should get the 15 Pro Max.

    iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 15 Has Minimal Upgrades - Did You Hear About This? (Added Glass Cracking Comment)

    Was on Reddit last week getting excited for my upgrade to the 15 pro max (coming from the 12 pro). Idk, but it seems like this year’s release got the societal bandwagon broadcast when compared to the last few years (maybe it was just me, but it reminded me of 2008-2013 era). Thought I’d share...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 15PM Defect, Exchange Headache

    I've been a iPhone Upgrade Program customer from the very start of the program. Yesterday I upgraded from an iPhone 14 Pro Max to a Blue Titanium iPhone 15 Pro Max. I pre-ordered online last week, and had an 8am appointment yesterday to pick up my new iPhone from the Apple Store. When I got home...

    How to upgrade my late 2013 iMac 21.5'' to last another decade?

    Hello. I have an original late 2013 iMac 21.5'', which has never required service, never been opened or tampered with. However, it's become very slow over the years, and its 1T hard drive is almost full. I'd like to renew it so it will be fast, high-capacity, robust, and durable and serve me...

    Other Apple iPhone Upgrade Program 13th (Extra) Payment?

    Hey friends! I know there are several of us in this boat. If you got the 14 Pro Max on launch day last year, our 13th payment will actually hit this Friday - so before you get the new iPhone and cancelling it. With the new iPhone, you order it on Friday, it arrives the following Friday, and...

    Is it possible to use a strange computer to update iPhone without syncing?

    I have always backed up and updated my iPhone using iTunes. With the recent security issues it seems like it's time to finally update to iOS 16 (I'm still using iOS 15 at the moment...). The problem is that the computer I usually sync with (which still uses iTunes) is not available to me right...

    Other XS Max to 15 Pro Max?

    I’m still rocking an XS Max from 2018, and I’m on the fence about upgrading. It’s in pristine condition cosmetically. It can be slightly laggy here and there, but performance is still quite good for my uses. Biggest issue is the battery, but I can live with it, and I’m never in a situation...

    Adding L2 Cache to 7400/7410 CPUs

    Has anyone ever tried adding L2 cache to an early G4 7400 or 7410 CPU? According to their datasheets, they support up to 2MB of cache. As far as I can tell, Apple and all third party upgrade manufacturers never used more than 1MB on one. I found some cache modules that have the exact same pinout...

    Other Guessing iPhone 15PM prices in Eastern Europe

    Hi all! Just wondering how much the price of iPhones this year will increase in countries from eastern Europe, such as Romania. I think is worth mentioning that there is no official Apple Store in this area, only authorised resellers. For example, last year, I have bought my iPhone 14 Pro Max...

    Would a base M2 Mac mini be an upgrade from a mid-2018 MacBook Pro?

    I was thinking of trading in a mid-2018 512gb/16gb MacBook Pro towards a base M2 Mac mini. With the education discount bringing the purchase to $64 and then the $100 gift card, I was thinking it would be a good deal. However, I have seen the posts regarding swap memory or slow storage with the...
