    How many playlists have you created?

    Hundreds? I have been curating and organizing my music in playlists for years. I usually start with a master playlist for a band with all of their music, and then I make more specific nested playlists based on the best songs, live tracks, time periods, albums that go together, etc. I use Apple...

    Share your iPhone History!

    OK, let's see... to the best of my memory: iPhone OG - bought at launch and almost immediately sold to a friend, 2G was terrible, no Windows iTunes (I did not have a Mac at the time) and no apps, I remember the pinch/zoom with pictures was cool 3GS - came back to the iPhone once 3G cellular...

    Returning to iPhone. (possibly dumb) iOS question.

    My guess is Apple thinks (and rightfully so IMO) that it keeps an organized and uniform look to all iPhones regardless of user. Apple designs the iPhone to be simple and intuitive to anyone, albeit with sacrifices for someone who wants to really customize the springboard. That being said, I can...

    Deal breakers - What would make you switch FROM iPhone this year?

    Not a chance... and IMO the pastures are not greener by any stretch of the imagination. The only debate I'll have this fall is do I get the 7S+ or the "8"

    I'm back already!

    That bad huh? I've never used an Android phone as a daily driver but I have messed with a few models here and there and I just have no temptation to switch away... just reinforce that feeling when I read testimonials like this!

    Can someone give me a crash course in great iPhone photography?

    Lots of good suggestions... lighting (exposure) and no digital zoom are super important, and taking several pics is a good suggestion... I would add turn on the camera lens grid and think about the rule of thirds for framing

    Anyone Still Using First Gen Apple Watch?

    I still have mine and wear it everyday to tell the time and track exercise -- that's it. I'll probably upgrade at some point but waiting for Apple to really give me a good reason, the Gen2 Watch wasn't enough for my versus the cost...

    What cases are you using on your iPhone 7 Plus?

    iOS 10.2.1 out today...............Is it safe?

    Similar problem happened to my Dad and his iPhone 6s last year and I ended up getting a new SIM from AT&T and it fixed the problem

    iOS 10.2.1 out today...............Is it safe?

    OK OK, technically it wasn't bricked... those of us who downloaded the bad update within the first hour or so had to restore within iTunes to get wi-fi and cell radios back. My point is that it is ALWAYS a good idea to wait even just a little bit when a new iOS updates lands, I usually monitor...

    iOS 10.2.1 out today...............Is it safe?

    Yes but the memory of bricking my iPhone persists!!

    iOS 10.2.1 out today...............Is it safe?

    They are pretty good about it these days but it has happened -- 8.4.1 killed wi-fi and cell for OTA upgraders during the first hour it was out

    iOS 10.2.1 out today...............Is it safe?

    iOS 10.2.1 out today...............Is it safe?

    LOL I wish that were true but I've been bit twice over the years with an iOS update that had a bug -- 8.4.1 was the last, so being "released" is not necessarily a sign that an update is safe

    iOS 10.2.1 out today...............Is it safe?

    OTA here and all seems fine. Updating my watch to 3.1.3 right now...

    What cases are you using on your iPhone 7 Plus?

    Is that the "black" or "storm gray" case? It looks gray, but the website says black...

    Do you leave apps running in the background or close them?

    Even the verb use being tossed around this thread is wrong. When you close an app by pushing the home button the app is placed in STANDBY mode and the carousal you get when you double-click the home button is your recently used apps signified with a screenshot taken by iOS as you closed each...

    Moving to IOS after 6 years as an Android user and I ordered the Iphone 7 and I need some help

    Set a passcode and do not register any fingerprints Other than the built-in Apple notes app it is not possible to lock any apps from the iPhone at this time (although I am not really sure what you mean by "from the iPhone...) I think there are some photo apps that you can lock pictures within...

    iPhone 7 case or no case

    Always use a case since the iPhone 4, currently with my matte black 7 -- Apple leather for day-to-day (switch between black, midnight blue and storm gray) and Apple Silicone (cocoa and ocean blue) when working out
