  • Fifth-generation iPad mini may not incorporate big design changes

    christopher126christopher126
    I could see this...when the iPhone Xs came out I thought the iPhone SE, 7 and 8 looked rather dated. Then I saw the prices. All of a sudden my SE was looked great!

    My iPad mini 2 is a great form factor... But like the iPhone XS, I'm not going to pay $599 for a new iPad mini.

    My first generation AppleWatch is still a great device for running and everyday wear. Don't really want to spend $499 for the latest watch.

    My AirPods are one of the best Apple devices. They'll be fine until they break.

    My AppleTV (non 4k) is fantastic. I'll wait to get maybe get the next one. Or maybe just buy a new TV with iTunes installed.

    My 2017 MacBook is a fantastically elegant Apple device, but once it breaks, I'll go all in on iOS, an iPad mini, iPhone, AirPods and TV. Done! :)

    well done Samsung. #FADlife
    Agreed, Gaby. Mobile devices are supposed to be, by definition, light, thin and small...

    iPhone SE/AppleWatch/AirPods for everyday...

    An iPad mini for air travel (or the coffee shop).

    An AppleTV for home! :)

    If you're a 'Pro' user, then knock yourself out w/ an iMac, MacBook Pro and a Xs! :)

    P.S. Seems pretty simple.

    P.S.S. Glad I'm not a pro-user! :)

    Hmmm...reminds me of the late nineties where you'd walk into a Circuit city and see a plethora of crappy plasticky digital devices all designed to take your money! :)

  • iPhone owners in the US spent an average of $79 on apps in 2018

    If I buy an App in Apple's App Store, does that guarantee they are not 'tracking' me? You know, harvesting and selling my data!

    Just asking? :)

    Best.

  • LG UltraWide 5K2K is a beast of a monitor with Thunderbolt 3

    Looks good...I appreciate the review Andrew. Well done.

    I'm of the generation where huge monitors are coveted.

    But I'm torn between getting the new 27" iMac later this year (~$1,800) or just going all in with iOS, i.e., and upgrading my iPad mini, my Se with an iPhone SeX, my first gen AppleWatch (with AirPods) and a 4K AppleTV...all for less than the new iMac.

    I've never been a fan of 'Mix and Match' devices. As you say, Apple's build quality is so superior, I'm not sure I would enjoy walking into my office and seeing a 'plastic-y' monitor. 

    Having said that, the space gray rig you show in the video, does look great! :)

    Best regards and have a great weekend! :)
