    Where would you purchase an iPhone 7?

    If you are buying outright, it probably makes the most sense to buy from Apple. However, I'm a huge fan of purchasing from Best Buy. They run great deals on Apple products (one of the few) when a device is on a payment plan.

    Buy the Iphone 7 or Wait for the iphone 8 / Iphone 7s?

    I think its still absolutely a great purchase. The 8 will come with the usual bevy of shortages making it very frustrating to obtain. Apple products also produce some pretty good longevity, so the purchase of a 7/+ should last you for a while into your contract cycle while still being very...

    my iphone 7 does not show my location history

    Hi ksemi! Unfortunately, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if its showing blank there isn't a way to make it reappear. Are your settings properly turned on, and have you updated to the most recent version of iOS? I know early on in iOS 10 there were some issues with the frequent...

    Another option to unlock new iPad.

    Hi johnmed3! Thanks for the tip! For anyone wondering out there, this trick is usable for any iOS device using Touch ID that has been upgraded to iOS 10 (or higher). Apple implemented a change to this process for iOS 10 to get better utilization out of the widgets section. The goal would be...

    What's your all time favorite console?

    Has to be Nintendo 64 for me! I remember the exact Christmas I got it. I opened up the GoldenEye box BEFORE the console, and my eyes lit up like never before. I scrambled to find the bigger gift that had the console inside. Played that system like I've never played any other.

    Why is my iphone 6 plus heating up from soap inside the phone?

    Hi Jasmine, Sorry to hear about the issue! However, given the iPhone 6 Plus lack of water resistance i'm not overly surprised you are experiencing some abnormal behavior. Beyond some heating issues, is the device functioning as normal? Do you know how to check your phone for water damage...

    Wait for 8 or 7S/SE?

    I felt same way about the SE. Love it, but felt like I needed an upgraded. Treated myself to the 7 yesterday. Very happy thus far and somewhat kept the form factor with the smaller of the 2 choices!

    Really want the 7 Plus. Am I crazy?

    Not crazy! I think as phonesumers (yes I made that up) we have become accustomed to accepting our "device" as old/dated after a 6 month cycle. I would argue you could buy an iPhone 6 right now and use it as a daily driver without issue. Apple does an incredible job updating devices while...

    Game centre

    It absolutely was an app at one time! Game Center also allows progress to be stored and used on other iOS devices when you log in so you always have your items, scores, etc.

    Game centre

    Hi Lucy! What a wonderful question! Game Center for the longest time was a standalone app that players could reference to see achievements, friends, etc...With the release of iOS 10 the functionality changed greatly. This functions much more like as service now instead of a standalone...
