    So I want the 9.7" iPad Pro, but I'm having trouble justifying it ? or any tablet

    I have too many devices in my life. I do most of my work on a 15" MBP hooked up to a 29" monitor, and occasionally on a 13" HP Spectre x360 (great hardware and Windows 10... sometimes I like to hate myself and the decisions I make, okay?). When it's not that, I'm using an iPhone 6s and whatever...

    Is the iPhone SE "mid-range" or something else?

In that time it was run over probably a dozen times and subjected to hours of torrential downpour. Needless to say, there was...

    "Hey Siri" event wallpapers

    I'll admit, this one threw me for a loop. Most Apple event invitations exist in a manner that they can be easily and logically expanded into a multi-format wallpaper. But the "Hey Siri" event invitation? This one's so closely cropped and so clearly based on the iOS 9 Siri makeover that it was...

    Spring Forward event wallpapers

    So, we've had some requests for wallpapers based on the new Apple Spring Forward event invitation. Here's the original image from the invite: I really wanted to make a proper retina-size version of this, but I really struggled with getting it right (if anybody has any Illustrator tips on how...

    Intro: Derek Kessler

    Hi. Derek Kessler here. A little bit about myself, in case you don’t know who I am: I have two jobs. My “day job,” if you can call it that, is as a Sergeant in the Ohio Army National Guard. Within the Guard I actually have two jobs: there’s the standard ‘one weekend a month and two weeks in...
