  • Hands on: Brydge Pro+ brings a keyboard & trackpad to your iPad Pro

    Their keyboards are decent, but pricey and I'm not a fan of how they connect to the iPad. The touchpad is not great as the basic support for input devices is mouse based so using this with the iPad is a miserable experience.  Save your money and buy a Logitech keyboard and forget the mouse until it is properly supported (unlikely, as mouse support is only a byproduct of supporting assistive devices on the iPad which all emulate mousing input).

    So they come up with this absurd trick then expect people to use it?   Get lost Apple
    Agreed. Slofies, Memoji, Animoji, all just dumb.
    Sure are, but folk use them. Generation dumb: X Factor, I’m a Celebrity, Trump as President.  Remember how the Roman Empire fed Christians to lions before it fell? We are well overdue a mass cleanse.

  • Don't update to iOS 13 just yet -- wait for iOS 13.1

    Clearly your mileage may vary.  I have been on iOS 13 GM since release with no issues.  I use my iPhone XS Max heavily and have iCloud and 5 exchange account running on it along with a VoIP client I use for work calls.  Zero re-springs or issues with mail, or anything else to be fair.  I don't use may applications regularly outside of the built in apps  other than, instagram, one note, Splashtop, MS authenticator, WhatsApp, VoIP Client, tune in radio, sky sports, Plex and Waze.

  • How to forward calls from your iPhone

    Call forwarding is carrier specific.  All the iPhone does is send a carrier code with the call forward details.

    For the iPhone to do anything more complex would require it to be online and active during the call.  E.g. call forward from a specific group or number to a specific destination, the iPhone would answer the call, then call the destination and merge the call for the duration.

    Some networks offer/used to offer an assistant whereby your calls were answered and then transferred based on your preferences.  This was used to get around the limited logic of call forwards.

    check with your carrier for specific forwarding codes, you can enable multiple call forwards based on their function, here are the codes for O2 uk:

  • The Apple Pro Display XDR brings 6K to the Mac for $4999

    If you need a reference grade monitor and if this is on a par with displays from Sony and Dolby which cost in excess of $40,000 then Apple will sell a bucketload of them.  Most users will be fine with 4K displays from Eizo etc though
