  • iPhone Upgrade Program & Apple Card causing iPhone 13 pre-order snags [u]

    The problem applies only to those of us purchasing via the upgrade program.  I purchased a case with my card no problem. (After the iPhone purchase).  Support was of no help.  Where’s my 3% apple?

  • Apple plans thinner, high-end MacBook Air

    Funny, I thought Apple would start making slower, thicker laptops. You know, just to lose out on sales.

  • iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro Max start shipping ahead of November 13 release date

    If you have a “my choice” account at ups, you can login, and see the shipment in China before Apple actually says it’s shipped.  They(Apple) post the shipment when it hits American Soil.  Mine is tracking, and scheduled for the November 13th release date.  In all the years that I’ve been buying IPhones, I’ve only had one come early, the iPhone 4, the first with retina screen. I had it a day early,  
    I was told by a guy who works at a local UPS facility that because of concerns about fraud (fake ID’s) that people can’t pick up their iPhones (or even Apple Watches)  in person-they have to wait until it’s delivered to the home. However, the guy I spoke with at the UPS national center was unaware of any such policy. Anyone else aware of this?
    You can’t pick your phone up at at UPS store, but you can pick it up at the closest “Hub”.  That’s a UPS center that is where all the deliveries go out from.  I’ve done it at least 10 times, it’s reliable, consist, and VERY protected by lock and key.  Your phone is literally locked up until you pick it up.

  • Neil Young rails against 'Fisher-Price' MacBook Pro audio for music production

    Hey Neil Young, this might be the number one stupidest thing I’ve ever hear you say.   Macs are designed to be hooked up to other recording gear.  Like Universal Audio for instance.  I’ve got about $50k in “stuff” hooked up to my Mac, and I’m happy to put the quality up against anything Neil is doing!  The Mac is the controller!  
    Wake up dude!  You’re behind the times!
