  • Hoping to capitalize on Apple battery controversy, HTC and Motorola volunteer that they do...

    could it hurt to actually think before making a fool of oneself?

  • Use Apple Pay Cash with a debit card to avoid a 3% credit card transaction fee

    I personally dont use debit cards. Would prefer to be able to buy an itunes card and store it for future use.

    I second
    As the iOs have been moving upward in number, the stability has been moving down. I think I'll pass and stick to 10.3.3.
    I second that. Sticking to 10.3.3, especially given the hit on device performance every major iOS upgrade brings - not worth the brought features.
    iPhone 8 Plus , 7 Plus and iPad Air 2 working with no issues on 11.1.2 ?  Every IOS update seems to have a few apps that kill battery and performance and people are afraid of updating ?  YouTube is the example. People have been howling since iOS 11 release about batter drain, and just this last week Google finally admitted they were working on the massive drain caused by the YouTube app. How many other app developers are aware of this same type of situation and take their time addressing it, while letting the Apple and the update take the hit for it?  Gordon Kelly over at Forbes has a field day with his “ Nasty Surprises” column every time a new iPhone or iOS is introduced. 

    Also as I have said here before...  restoring from old carried over backups is asking for issues. Some people get away with it some don’t and blame the new update. Every whole # update I update and set up as new and bring everything back from the cloud, not the previous back up. Works well for me and the devices in my home.  I began setting my devices up as new  with updates back with iOS 9, when AirPlay was almost unusable and the screen orientation kept getting stuck on my 6s Plus in landscape mode. 
    Personally I try to stay away from Google anything including YouTube. Have not had any issues with battery drain in the 11+ releases.

  • Apple's next NeXT: how buying Beats launched a sneak attack on the future of sound

    For me I would like to see Apple Music delivered in lossless audio 100% of the time.

  • Apple delays HomePod launch until 'early 2018'

    Darn, this was on my list. Now my wife will have to find something else for me. Probably get a couple of shirts instead. What fun is that?
