    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).

    Is it possible to upgrade the logic board of my MBA 13 2014?

    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...
