    Who’s preordering? Why or why not?

    Not me. It looks pretty for sure, but it really feels like an upgrade I'm happy to sit out this year.

    SPOILER ALERT: Series 4 Apple Watch pic

    If the S4 is getting a larger display with rounded corners, then I'd expect that to be the case unfortunately.

    Choosing between 2018 13” or 2017 15” MacBook Pro

    Well I decided on the new 13". After trying both in the Apple Store, I decided the portability of the 13 would suit me better. The new Coffee Lake quad-core i5 is basically as fast as the Kaby Lake quad-core i7 in the 15" I was looking at, so the only difference was graphics, which I don't need...

    Should I Upgrade my CPU from i5 2.3 Ghz to 2.7 GHz i7 ?

    If you can afford it. But I would recommend upgrading the RAM first (if you haven’t already). Generally that tends to provide the most notable performance boost. The i5 is already a quad-core, so it is more than enough for what you’re planning on using it for. Hope that helps!

    Choosing between 2018 13” or 2017 15” MacBook Pro

    I need a little help deciding here. I’m looking for a really good MacBook, and the choices for me are either: Refurbished 2017 15-inch with 2.8Ghz quad-core i7, 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD for $2756 AUD or New 2018 13-inch with 2.3Ghz quad-core i5, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD for $2699 AUD Geekbench...

    Who’s using their iPhone X without a case?

    The Silver iPhone X is one of the most beautiful iPhones ever in my opinion. Right up there with the 4 and 5. I know it’s expensive, but it feels such a shame to put it in a case, probably more than any other iPhone I’ve owned before. So, who’s using theirs as Jony Ive intended?

    iPhone X color opinions

    That’s funny, I’m the exact opposite. I used to really dislike the white face because I was really OCD about dirt getting into the seams! I know, I’m crazy. Although now, there isn’t really a “face” at all...

    iPhone X: Naked or w/Case?

    Hahaha, me too! I’ve got AppleCare just in case, but it looks and feels insanely nice without a case.

    iPhone X color opinions

    Thanks for all the responses! I guess I’m just curious about the durability of the stainless steel bands. I prefer the contrast of the Silver model, but from what I can tell, the SG band may hold up better to scratches and dings because of the coating. Time will tell I guess. I’ll probably...

    iPhone X color opinions

    I’ve got the Space Grey model, but I’m having second thoughts. The Silver model looks really nice too. Who here has any thoughts about Silver vs. Space Grey?

    Got a X

    Missed out on launch day preorders, but here in Australia, you’ve got the ability to reserve new stock each day at 6:00 AM sharp. So I got up this morning, and thankfully, the app let me in right away. Secured my Space Grey 64GB model well ahead of my early December shipping time! Stoked!!

    Official: iPhone X Pre-Order / Waiting Room

    Gonna order the 64GB Silver model, because it’ll show scratches and smudges less than the Space Gray (that’s the plan anyway haha), and 64GB because I use hardly any storage. Plus, A$1879 is a liiiitle too steep! I’ve got my order time down to 25 seconds through the Apple Store app, and I’ve...

    Taking the plunge and going all in on iPad Pro.

    Well, it’s been 3 months now, and still going strong. Haven’t even noticed my Mac’s absence. The release of iOS 11 was as great as I’d hoped, and definitely makes using iPad way better. The ability to have 3 apps on the screen at once is amazing (4 if you include a PiP video). I’ve heard a few...

    Taking the plunge and going all in on iPad Pro.

    That's great to hear! Yeah, I'm always amazed at just how much it can do, especially when iOS 11 drops. You're certainly correct saying that iPad is no longer just a consumption device. Some of the professional apps are genuinely desktop class. And its speed blows me away too. The A10X chip is...

    Taking the plunge and going all in on iPad Pro.

    So, as the title suggests, I'm finally doing something I've wanted to try for ages. Ditch my MacBook Pro and see if I can go entirely iPad. I watched the WWDC keynote with great excitement, and bought the 10.5 inch a day after it was released with the Smart Keyboard and Pencil, and have hardly...
