  • Review: VOCOlinc SmartBar is best deal for a HomeKit smart plug

    It’s a great price, perhaps too good — I’m made very wary by those one-star reviews on Amazon. Sounds like this product can be highly problematic with HomeKit. Hard pass for me.

  • Compared: iPhone SE (2020) versus iPhone SE (2016)

    Comparison misses the fact the primary feature of the SE was lost in the redesign.
    it didn’t grow up it ballooned. 
    Exactly right. Best feature of the 2016 SE was its size — perfect for one-handed use, at a time when the newest phones lost that benefit. Sadly they only got bigger and bigger since then. Not everyone wants a jumbo phone.

  • Compared: iPhone SE versus iPod touch

    Walk around with that 4-inch screen for a week. I understand it's not a phone but that screen sucks too much and the rest of it is an anemic mess. It's old technology that's barely worth a hundred and it will wind up in millions of drawers, forgotten.
    Totally understand if that is your experience, but I hope you can understand that not everyone shares the opinion that a bigger screen is always better. There are many users who do prefer the smaller screen and smaller form factor of the 2019 iPod Touch and iPhone SE 1st Gen. I for one did own the iPhone 6 (same size display as new iPhone SE 2nd Gen) but never felt comfortable with the relatively larger size of the screen or device. When the first SE was released 18 months later I jumped at the opportunity to have a smaller device again and never looked back. A smaller screen allows for one-handed use, and for many of us that is of higher personal value than a bigger screen. Full stop. I for one would gladly pay top dollar if Apple ever developed an iPhone with a smaller screen again.

  • Rumor suggests iOS 14 will run on all iOS 13 capable devices

    iPhone 6S = iPhone SE. If the 6S remains supported, Apple has no reason not to also support the SE. They are literally the same phone in a different shell.

  • Apple reportedly investigating new corporate lease in Pittsburgh

    The PAA isn’t merely “near” the University of Pittsburgh, it is smack dab in the middle of their campus!
