I am always debating whether I can move exclusively to my iPad Pro. I think for 95% of what I do it would be an excellent solution. But it's just the 5% is an important 5%. For instance, access to a traditional file system is something that's hard to get used to not having, despite most of my...

I think what lies ahead will likely put Apple at the forefront. iOS runs so smoothly and doesn't suck up juice as much as any other OS out there, which is why iPhone 6s still competes against latest flagship Android devices. With that said, Apple takes it's bloody time to offer features that...

I have been going case free since I got my iPhone 6s. And I feel the iPhone 7 is more durable, so I haven't used a case on it either although it slightly stresses me out more when it's new. But fingers crossed, I have a pretty good track record of not damaging or scratching my iPhones so let's...

It would be great to think that Apple could have enough units ready for launch or could delay their launch date to accommodate, but the reality is they have to contend with many factors in making those decisions. First of all, September is the end of their fiscal quarter. In order to deliver...

Same. I knew most of what was going to be announced, aside from the very specific camera specs. And for all the other things I would have passed on this iteration, but that camera on the 7 Plus has me swooning!!

I pre-ordered the Jet Black in 128GB. But the ship time is listed for November. So I've also pre-ordered a Black in 128GB which is set to ship October 5th - 12th.

I'm a little late to the game as I just picked up my first MacBook today. And I choose Gold. It's such a beautiful device. So pleased with my purchase!

I'm just wondering how many of you have decided to go all in with their iPad Pro and make it their primary computer? And if you have, what challenges or compromises did you face? And what were your solutions or workarounds to solve them? The reason I'm asking is because I realized today that...

I was facing this same decision for the past couple days. Then today I went out and got the 9.7" iPad Pro with the  Smart Keyboard and I have to say I don't regret it one bit. It only takes a few minutes to get adjusted to the keyboard, but it adds a lot of productivity to using the iPad. I...

I think my favourite phone will always be the BlackBerry Bold 9900. It was a slick phone and just worked so well! But I am forever entrenched in iOS and the Apple platform, so of my iOS devices it's probably my iPhone SE. It's a great pocketable, user friendly phone with excellent battery life...

I came from an iPhone 6 Plus. I chose the Plus size phone back in 2014 because I wanted to maximize battery life. There were a lot of pros to the larger iPhone and I still sometimes miss it. But after having the iPhone SE for over a week now I'm really loving the phone. And I haven't been...

This pretty much sums up my experience. I'm still keeping my 6+, however. But I plan to use the SE as my primary iPhone. I got it because I wanted portability. All too often I had to hold my 6+ in my hands as I did things because it was too big for my pockets or was uncomfortable when I sat...

I know, I almost don't want to mask it's iconic good looks. And I like that the chamfered edges are now matted. Makes it look more sleek to me. I ordered a leather pouch from Sena Cases as well for the days I want to rock it naked but still have some form of scratch resistance while I tote it...

Mine arrived today. It's weird adjusting to the screen size from a 6 plus, but man is this phone ever beautiful. And it's wicked fast. So far so good. Definitely a big fan of this upgrade! Can't wait until my official apple leather case arrives this Friday!

I ordered a 16gb iPhone SE in Space Grey. I debated the 64gb but I've yet to ever use more than 8 or 9gb of space on my iPhones in the past. I cannot wait for it to arrive this coming week. Counting down the days!!
