  • $29 battery exchanges for iPhone 6 and newer now available at most Apple retail locations

    christopher126christopher126
    HI guys, I downloaded the App, 'Battery Life' (Free-No affiliation)....My SE is fine (Green) but my GF's iPhone 6 is average (Orange).

    Also, my GF's had a message from Apple, Settings>Battery "Your iPhone battery may need to be serviced."

    Best.

  • AT&T workforce stricken with over 2000 layoffs U.S-wide days after $1000 tax reform bonus ...

    Why Americans allow CEO's to fire workers willy-nilly to make their short-term bottom line look better is beyond me.

    Yep, lay them off and put them on the dole. Great.

    In Germany, for example, BMW is not allowed to layoff and send them to the unemployment line for the government to pay. First, they have to go on 3/4 time, then half time, then 1/4 time and into a retraining program. Now that's how a responsible company should operate. 

    Case in point, Germany was the last country to go into the Great Recession of 2008 and the first to come out! 

    Oh well.

  • Consumer Reports ranks iPhone X behind Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8 series in testing

    CR is out of touch...always have been. I remember back in the day, they would rate various Windows laptops as better 'value' than Apple laptops.

    That's when I cancelled my subscription.

    CR is for the Costco crowd who buy Samsung TV's, Android cellphones and HP computers where if it's cheap, its has to be good value.

    It's written by unimaginative former IT 'engineers' weened on Windows! Left up to them we'd still be using Motorola Razors, working on Windows Desktops. Ugh!  :)

  • Review: Apple TV 4K is an impressive extension of the iTunes ecosystem to the living room

    I'm "all in" with the Apple eco-system. I don't have cable TV, only AppleTV and iTunes. I'd rather rent a movie and watch it at home with my GF than go to a noisy, smelly, expensive movie theater. I will be upgrading my 50" TV to 4k +65" pretty soon. Haven't watched a DVD in years! Have HBO Now, which I cancel every time Bill Maher goes on vacation and Fareed Zakaria's GPS. Also, I'll just buy Ken burns, Viet Nam as an example.

    Hmmm, I first notice how small it is in the hand, after several years with plus model. And to be honest, the notch on the top is not bothering me at all. It was a little bit strange in the beginning though, but it grows on me. Still, I am curious why they opt for this design as oppose to make the whole bar black.
    Yeah, I think I read you can 'opt' to have that when looking at movie....so it looks like a black bar on that side. :)
