    iPhone 14 Pro Max Anyone upgrade from a non-Pro 11 to 14 Pro Max?

    I was a decade long Android user who in 2019 switched from my Pixel 2 XL to the iPhone 11. I’m all Apple these days and can get a good deal on a 14 Pro Max upgrade. My wife and I have been using our 11s with honestly no issues, with the only exception of not having zoom in the camera. I’m a...

    Change iPhone plan to iPhone upgrade plan

    Hello, Does anyone know if you can change your iPhone order to the Upgrade option? I wasn't an option at checkout and Apple said to call them back when I get the phone. Has anyone tried changing to the upgrade plan after the fact? Just wondering what my luck would be. Thanks!

    My 2010 macbook 13"

    My MacBook (4/512) from 2010 is my daily driver, and let's just say it's faster than my Samsung 2020 Chromebook 3. I just use it to write books and to watch youtube, does anyone think I should upgrade to a higher MacBook? (my budget is $1500 nzd).

    I got a MacBook 13 2014 which is working well as I changed the battery out. Since it is in the A1466 model, is it possible to upgrade it by swapping the dual-core 2014 logic board to a 2017 logic board? Will there be no hardware or software compatibility issues?

    I sold my M1 MBA to buy an M2 MBA because I wanted one.

    I don't have any practical reason for doing so - my M1 was perfectly fine. I sold my M1 MBA, just ordered an M2 MBA, and I feel like a kid at Christmas. Tech is a hobby of mine. I like the latest and greatest gadgets, and don't mind spending money on them. It's certainly not from any kind of...
