  • Watch: HEIF vs. JPEG on iPhone 8 compared

    To export the HEIF file to your Mac, all you have to do in Photos are select the photos you want to export and then in the File menu select “Export” > “Export Unmodified Original”.   No need for USB cables or to go spelunking in your Photos library folder.

  • Video: Should you preorder Apple's iPhone 8, or wait for iPhone X?

    Why would you anybody buy iPhone 8 when you can get  iPhone 10? 
    For me, it's because I would like to upgrade my phone now instead of waiting for some unknown date in the future when I will be able to get my hands on the X (due to expected severe supply constraints).  

    If I knew that I would be able to have one delivered on Nov. 3 then I would wait.  However most signs are pointing to the X being severely supply-constrained well into the first half of 2018.  At that point we are 2/3 of the way through the iPhone cycle and I've wasted the many months that I could've been enjoying my 8+.

    That's why I'm going for the 8+ this year instead of the X.  When the X-style phone becomes the standard iPhone is when I will jump on board.  Either way, all three new phones are great new upgrades for anyone who is interested.  I just don't have the patience to wait until (insert unknown date here) when I can have the new 8+ in less than a week.  Impatient? Sure. But I'm fine with that.

    I've had my Bose Soundsport Wireless for about 4 months now and love them.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook to appear on 'Good Morning America,' says AirPods stay put during exercise

    Some people...such as myself...simply have ears that are not shaped in a way that prevents earbuds from falling out.

    I have never found a pair of earbuds that would remain secure in my ears without some sort of rubber "wing" that holds it in place. Regular earbuds of any brand simply fall out because I don't have a little lip on the bottom of my ear (it's flat), therefore there is nothing to secure it in place.

    It's no big deal as I just find a pair that is compatible with my ear shape such as the Bose ear buds.

  • Bluetooth streaming problems introduced in Apple's iOS 9.2 remain, have wide ramifications

    Yes because Lightning headphones are so plentiful on the market. Oh wait...they're not.  Apple doesn't even make them.
    Your comment proves that even Apple fans lack imagination. This is similar non-sense I heard about the disc drive removal.
    Please post the link to the Apple first-party Lightning headphones so I can purchase a set. Thanks!
