  • Hands on: New Tile Sticker, Tile Mate, Tile Pro, and Tile Slim are the best Bluetooth trac...

    I need something small enough to stick on my glasses. Goodness knows I lose those often enough.

  • Apple's iOS 13 is now available for your iPhone or iPod touch

    I have an iPod touch 7th gen and still no update available through settings or iTunes. Anyone know when that update will drop for the iPod? Thanks! 
    I have a  touch also, and as of 11:59 Apple software update still says 12.4.1 is up to date.  I think we are waiting till the 24 th.  Maybe because it has the same ID as my iPP 10.5..

  • iPad Pro 'final design mockup' shown with iPhone 11 Pro triple camera bump

    I am an older person who doesn’t have a smartphone.  I use my iPad to take photos all the time, and if I were in someone’s way I would ask them to excuse me and work it out with them so that I would not block their viewpoint anymore than their  large body would block mine. I enjoy having the large Viewfinder and I wouldn’t dream of caring if someone thought it ridiculus that I used a function on my expensive iPad that I paid for.

    Having said that, one of the things that was good for the iPads up to this time is that the camera bump did not cause the iPad to wobble laying flat. I wonder if that is still true with this much larger camera bump.

  • Ex-Apple Siri chief Bill Stasior now a Microsoft vice president of technology

     I don’t know which of the Siri leaders’ vision for Siri is anything like mine but I hope several things get done. Yes, Siri is something that goes across all OS versions and I would like to be able to have her  tell me the things that are useful to me -for example pollen count when giving the weather would be very helpful. I’d like to be able to ask her what my Apple ID account balance is and not  have her tell me to go to the App Store. I used to be able to  ask her what my battery level was if I was not looking at the iPad and had my hands in something cooking, but suddenly one day she stopped doing that. I don’t want to have to use Shortcuts to do these things, I’d rather have them baked into the OS. Mostly because I don’t always remember the exact phrase that I used with the short cuts, and even though I attended college for 2 1/2 years I still have difficulty constructing them.   I’ll be honest. I want Jarvis. 😀

  • Two more iPad models coming soon, says regulatory filing

     Since all of these new iPads will probably have an 12X, I hope they don’t seriously leave my iPad Pro 10.5 behind when it comes to dishing out the new features. I’m not that big on augmented reality,  and God knows I love my 3.5 mm headphone jack ,but I would be sorry to miss out on increased  Siri capability, for instance.
