    HDR on iPhone X

    Hey Rene, I believe Apple discussed that the X was getting HDR however, the only discussion of iTunes movies getting HDR and 4K was with the Apple TV. Will iTunes allow HDR and 4K movies to be downloaded to iOS/Mac devices and what is the size of these downloads; considering a 1080p movie is...

    Whatever happened to....

    Rene, I have followed iMore since theiPhoneBlog and loved the old podcasts. Was wondering, do you still stay in touch with Chad Garrett? Also, whatever happened to Peter Cohen? Thanks and keep up the great work!

    Red iPhone

    I should clarify, it's a Special Edition. Nonetheless it sure seems like Apple isn't treating this like just another color option. It also would be maddening to go out and get this and have Apple drop a new iPhone with a red color option in 5 months. My hunch is that they may just introduce new...

    Red iPhone

    Rene, Love the new iPhone Red edition. I noticed that Apple references this phone as a "Limited Edition". Does this mean it is a limited run and not really another color option? I love the color but would rather wait and get it in the iPhone X/8/Pro but an worried this may be a 1 hit wonder...

    Some questions?

    Other posters have correctly addressed your questions (1-4). My experience is that the S2 does pretty well in battery performance but it all depends on your level of workouts. Workouts on the watch trigger the HR sensor and GPS (if not using the phone for GPS) and so if you do say two hours per...

    Glass Screen Protector recommendations?

    I have a 42mm space black ss s2 and definitely did not waste the money on a screen protector. With sapphire crystal it doesn't scratch unless you really try to do that. I have wacked my watch on corners, actually slid it across concrete and no scratches at all. I had a Series O SS (regular not...

    Rumored Features

    Hey Rene, Long time iMore/tipb follower! I enjoyed the recent iMore podcast on the rumors about iPhone 8. This podcast reminded me that back when the iPhone 6 was on the verge of launching, the rumor was that Apple was going to move to sapphire screens. It seemed like everywhere (tech blogs...

    Apple Watch Disappointment

    I am a big Apple fan; have an iPhone 6 Plus, rMBP, iPad Air and have been a long time Apple guy. I am also a 1st generation plunger; had the 1st gen iPhone, iPad, and rMBP. I preordered the 42 mm Stainless Steel Apple Watch with Sport Band on the 10th and am set to get it on release day (24th)...

    IPhone 6 plus known issues

    Like many on this forum, I think the Plus is the best iPhone I have ever had. Having said that, I am a little disappointed with the memory and speed of the processor. Not sure if it is the scaler, but I do notice some freezing when switching between apps and the home screen as well as some...

    Can the iPhone 6 plus make a tablet unnecessary?

    It's a good question. I love my Plus and I manage to reach for it more than my iPad Air. Having said that, I still think it is nowhere near an iPad replacement. The larger canvas of the iPad still makes reading books, magazines, web pages better. However, I do think that the iPad is more of a...

    Time for Tim to Go....

    As an Apple investor, I am fairly happy. Apple stock is up over $600 and things look decent on the horizon. But let's not confuse things; people buy on the rumor and sell on the fact, and that is why I am concerned about what is to come for Apple. Steve Jobs made two mistakes; he hired John...
