Aloha, long time lurker first time poster here.

Started my path into Apple iOS ecosystem about a month ago when I purchased an iPad Mini 2. Recently just preordered the new 6s+ as I move over from Android to see how this side lives

Greetings!

I am a YouTube user, content producer, what have you. I made stopmotion animations from 2007-2014, using iMovie HD. When I was only 13, I managed to get a YouTube partnership! In 2014, I began putting a lot of effort into improving my skills, and it was beginning to show. Unfortunately, Apple recently canned all support for iMovie HD, and I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm here in hopes of learning how to work alternative programs!

I'm Travis and I have been a long time reader and fan. I just recently joined the Forum. It's funny how when I was not a member I did not notice all of the negativity. Now that I've joined, I can see some members are downright rude.

Hey Yall! I used to frequent this site quiet a long time ago through lurking. Figured I would finally make an account.

Hi Everyone! Long time mac user here (grew up with mac as my Dad started using them in the mid-80s). I have had this site in my favourites for the last 10 years. Only recently felt the need to start posting in the forum.

 

[Sharebear_922]

Hi All! I started as a lurker for probably years, decided since I'm getting more involved in the Apple ecosystem, that I should be more involved here.

My first Apple product was an iPod video. And now I have the iPhone 5s (6s on the way), Apple Watch, and MacBook Air. I'm debating on the Apple TV and will soon get an iPad. I can't wait for HomeKit. I've been looking at ideas to automate my house since I was in the closing process of my house.

 

[GoldenDust]

Hello, all!

I'm Anthony, and like Sharebear_922. I'm a photographer and have done a gig for a Boston theatre every now and then. I work for Sprint as well. I've been a lurker on this website when it comes to new Apple news. I own an Apple Macbook Pro Retina 15.4" 16gb, R9 m370, iPhone 6 Plus, and an Apple Watch Stainless Steel 42mm. It's been quite a while since I've participated on forums and online communities in general as I retired from that whole ordeal a few years back when I moderated or administrated a couple of communities. Hopefully, with that being said, I'll enjoy it here.

Hello all!

The name's Luke. I've been a lurker for a while and finally decided to sign up. I love anything and everything Apple. I am the proud owner of a 2011 MacBook Pro, and now for the first time, an iPhone!
I was about to preorder the new iPhone, but on a whim I went into the T-Mobile store and they had one 6s Plus 128gb Space Grey in stock. I took it

 

[P71Jeff]

[beansbaxter]

Long time Lurker and never got around to registering for an account until the migration to XF because I wanted to see how the new forum software worked. And today, I finally made my first new Thread.

 

[kavinsac]

Hai. I'm new to this forum...

 

[Qbnkelt]

This will be a bit of a test... Another of these threads started with good intentions... but was soon taken over by regulars.

if you just joined MacRumors, reply and introduce yourself.

This is only for new Macrumors users... only users who registered within two months of the current date may reply...

All other users posts will be deleted. (moderators, please enforce this). This will be for myself included... only comments by truely "new" users will be allowed in this thread.

Discuss away...

(this could fail miserably if no one replies )

Hellooooo!!!!!

New member here. Currently using my purty purty purty 128GB Rose Gold iPhone 6s Plus.

Been an iPhone user since 2009, and had my much loved iPods before that. Also a rather ancient iPad 3. I'll be going over to Mac later this year or maybe in January.

Very happy to be here!

 

[WarcraftWidow]

Hi!

New member here! Currently a mostly Apple household although I can't get my husband off of his Windows gaming desktop and we got a super cheap Android for my 12 year old until she can prove she's responsible enough for something more expensive.

I'm a current owner of a 6S+ in space gray. Husband has a 6+. Also have an iPad Air 2, one of the original 2012 rMBP laptops, a Mac mini that serves as a media center. The kids have the original iPad minis. We also have an iPod touch and a couple of the square iPod nanos floating around somewhere. An AirPort Extreme from a generation back and 2 2nd gen Apple TVs.

Looking forward to the new Apple TVs. We'll be getting at least 1 for the family room. Undecided if the other will be the new Apple TV or if we'll just get the 3rd gen one since it's just for the master bedroom.

Anyway, I have lots of Apple experience and hope to be able to share my knowledge.

 

[pantlesspenguin]

Howdy!! New to MR, new to iPhone, and have dabbled with other Apple products in the past. In 2010 I got an iPod Touch (3rd gen, maybe?) to use alongside my BlackBerry 9700. I didn't have it for very long because a few months later I got my first Android device and sold the berry and the iPod. In 2013 I ditched Android for a BlackBerry Z10...and quickly got an iPod Touch 5th gen to use alongside it (sensing a theme yet?). I went back to Android and sold the iPod after a few months. In August 2014 I got a 16gb iPad Mini retina. By December, I had filled that sucker up so I upgraded to a 32gb iPad Air which I still have and use daily (still kicking myself for not splurging on an iPad Air 2). Last month on launch day I became the proud owner of an iPhone 6s Plus. No BlackBerry or Android devices in my home for the first time in 6 years!! Only other device is an Asus touchscreen laptop which is collecting dust on my coffee table .

I'm happy to be here!

 

[Zerog46]

Hello all. New here. Been with apple products since the iPhone 4. Retired mod at BBF. All iOS household.

 

[EvilKittyCupcake]

Hi, it's me!
You're welcome


Nah -seriously- I have been a proud owner of a non-edible fruit (you can try at your own risks, though) since June of this year, upgraded to a gold 6s on the 25th of September, former R2D2 addict for 10 years But I happily recovered (unlike my SO with the Galaxy S4). I own a Windows gaming rig, a 2013 MBP and an iPad Mini 3. I am a federal parole officer in Canada and aaaaaaalmost an old fart (29 ).
So that is pretty much it for me!

Welcome newcomers!

And tell us, what brought you here, Rich?

And tell us, what brought you here, Rich?

Hey Alli, your name looks a bit familiar. I have been a Macrumors reader for years but joined the forums several months ago. (note the join date) Here to answer questions, and otherwise contribute.

As for my Apple credentials, I am an iPhone 6 Plus user, I have an iPad Air, iPad mini 2, and a MBP 2014. I also use an Android device currently a One Plus Two. And of course have had and used many BlackBerry devices in the past. Possibly getting a BlackBerry Priv in the future. Oh I also have an Apple Watch and Pebble Time. (And Martian which I don't wear too much)

How goes the blog?

No more MN? Don't you think it's finally time to give up on BlackBerry? <sigh>

The blog got sidelined when I was going through chemo, and I just don't have the energy to maintain it now.

 

[The.Glorious.Son]

Hi everyone, I am obviously new here to the forums but not new to apple products. I have owned every iPhone to date, currently using a silver 128gb 6S. I am known to teeter back and forth between the regular and plus versions as I cannot seem to make up my mind between the two. The old, 'larger screen and OIS vs one handed use and pocketability' debate.

My household includes my wife, 8 year old daughter, 2 pugs and a cat. We own an iPhone 6, 6s, iPod touch 5th gen, 2012 MacBook Pro, iPad mini 2 and Apple TV. Yesterday I picked up a pair of blue Beats urbeats, also in the Apple family.

Aside from family and apple products, I love pugs, music, and the Chicago Cubs. I hope that I can contribute in a positive way, sharing in discussion and offering my knowledge when applicable. Feel free to reach at anytime with any questions, concerns, or thoughts you may have.

Cheers!!
