    I always go back to the sport band

    I still have the original gray Sports band from my S3 that I bought in Sept. 2017 that I’m now using on my S4. I gave the S3 to my wife and she wears the black Sports band that my S4 came with. I still can’t get myself to spend time & money on swapping different watch bands.

    When did it become mandatory to upgrade to the newest iPhone? Does it really matter?

    It never became mandatory, but the carriers traditionally encouraged consumers to upgrade every 2 years. And then when installment plans became the norm, the annual upgrade was encouraged by the carriers AND Apple with its own upgrade program. With people hanging on to their phones longer than...

    Cases for iPhone 4S

    I've only been using Speck cases nowadays, mostly my well-used CandyShell Card case and switching it up with 2 Burton Fitted cases. I am now thinking of replacing the CandyShell Card with the new SmartFlex Card, because the newer model is (supposedly) easier to remove and my CandyShell Card is...
