Hi

 

[AlexJRC]

Hi. Been an apple user for over 25 years. Been a macrumors reader for 15.

 

[Donald88]

Been using Macs since 1987. Am contemplating getting the new Apple Watch, mainly for my wife and I to communicate on the farm where we live. But struggle to find serious reviews of this function.

Nice idea. Been struggling to see the point of walkie talkie feature but this could work. No experience of the watch myself.

 

[Donald88]

I have a larger old iPhone, went large as I do a lot of photography. But hate carrying it around. The watch could serve us well, and easier / faster than texting. I like the fact that you don't need to be near your phone for the walkie-talkie aspect to work.

 

[Donald88]

So here is something I am struggling to learn about the watch: how will the walkie talkie function be affected, if I were to buy the GPS only version? Or do I need to get the GPS + Cellular to have optimum use of the walkie-talkie? The info that is out there doesn't make this clear at all.

https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/apple-watch.172/ is a good place for something like that.

Hey everyone, I have been wanting to do this for a while so I figured I would put it out there to see what kind of interest it may generate. I am actually an AppleCare Senior chat advisor and I feel like there are a lot of misconceptions out there when it comes to chatting in to AppleCare Support, and I feel like it is info that everyone has a right to know. The biggest being that I am not an employee of Apple, in fact I am not even allowed to admit that the work I do is for Apple. I get many angry Customers that rant about Apple and in most cases I have their back 100%, as I honestly have never been a huge fan of Apple, but I have to be careful what I say in those situations because I need to keep my job as I am a regular person that has bills to pay too. Just curious if anyone would even be interested about insight from my side of the fence. Thanks!

I do think members here would be interested in your insights. The Apple, Inc and Tech Industry forum I linked here would probably be the best place to post this.

Hi, not been a Mac user for long, but since I have, I have used MacRumors as a valuable learning resource. Joined as it only seems right if I use your resources but now have a problem and posted it today. Let’s hope I get the response I need as I see many others have.

Yo! Not a Mac newbie but just registered. Was an Apple evangelist, now a spectator. Currently tapping keys on an Early 2015 MBP 13" (maxed out). Got the first iPhone when it came out. Switched to Galaxy for a better experience. Looking forward to purchasing Microsoft's latest Surface Pro, because apple still doesn't have touch screens on their laptops (wtf apple).

Hello i'm new here.

[fireheadman]

hello forum.... always a looker, now I'm a talker (poster/contributor).
hoping to get some insight and assistance in troubleshooting my cMP and maybe tweak it some more.

pretty well versed with mac products, own almost everything... including some hackintoshs.
I'm a linux engineer by trade.

Hello all! I just joined recently the forum. I am definitely iOS and as a whole Apple newbie as the only Apple device I own is 2018 iPad (6th gen). The forum is a useful place to check if some others face the issues I do with this device. I am new to the iOS experience as well so I found quite helpful information here when it comes to the gestures and the OS as a whole.

Hi Folks,
Work on Macs since 2003 (G5), used to be quite experienced with FCP4-7, but since its been replaced by FCPX I'm sadder, sadder and wiser, but mostly sadder...
Now Macbook Pro 2017 13', iPhone 7, iPad 2nd gen.
Nice to meet you!

Hello

I just joined the forum and I want to do a test post - and I guess this is where to do it!!

Hi everyone,

I have been reading mac rumors for years but never really joined the community.

I love apple products and finding out what is coming next (a family member even worked for the marketing company for apple and i was telling them what was coming out and when before they were allowed to tell me or even knew themselves)

I look forward to joining the community!!

p.s if anyone has any apple stickers going i have a collection (would specifically love a black one)

Hi everyone! I've enjoyed reading through the news and forums of this site for a couple of years now, so I figured it was about time to join.

Hello all.Newbie here but watching this forum for a long time.

 

[bassist42]

Hello

new member here. Have owned apple products for about 12 - 14 years now.
I generally find their products of better quality but its frustrating that the company is joining the planned obsolescence trend that other electronics mfg endorse.

In my mind this lessens the value, IE if the MAC product is not more durable due simply due to planned obsolescence then why pay the premium?

This is something I consider as I weigh my options when evaluating replacment of my 2011 27" iMAC. I like the computer, its fast enough to suit my needs. Alas, now I grapple with teething issues of not being able to read external optical media, hence my login / signup today.

Have a happy
