    just please give me anything that is not camera related.
    it seems that's the only thing they keep focusing on
    2 cameras. now 3 cameras, now 4 cameras
    we are not all professional photographers. 
    i take pics i usually see on my iphone screen or on my ipad
    i don't need terrapixel quality with 99x optical zoom , and carl zeis diamond quartz lens
     with a huge camera bump on the back that makes the phone rock when i put it on a table


    Good that you don't need to upgrade then. For many of us, the camera is the single most important feature and a core function of the phone. And yes. We look at photos on screens far larger than an iPad and sometimes want to high-quality prints. In addition, any improvement to the optical zoom would be greatly appreciated.

  • Apple users are keeping their iPads for a very long time

    I wrote yesterday morning: "We are keeping our iPads until the point arrives when iOS cannot be upgraded."
    I lied.
    Yesterday afternoon we bought a new iPad Air (M2).
    1. We had the money.
    2. We bought a model with 256GB. We are also getting a $100 trade-in with Apple for an old iPad Pro (9.7)

    We figured that we would have to by a new one within a year or so. So, we bought now.

    After reading this, I checked for me. I will only receive $65 for my 9.7" Pro. Maybe because I only have 32GB storage.

    I'm on my second iPad. First was an iPad 2, Currently still using a 9.7" iPad Pro. No complaints at all for the years of use.
    Battery degradation and limited storage have me eyeing the 11" iPad Air.

    As a vehicle changes direction, or brakes, dots on the iPhone screen match the movement to help reduce motion sicnkess


    Plus the new Vehicle Motion Cues will help reduce motion sickness in moving vehicles. While using their iPhone or iPad, the devices will present animated dots at the side of the screen, which move along with changes in vehicle motion.

    If this actually is effective, it would be truly amazing.
    I for one have a problem when a passenger in a car.
