    Should I swap my 128gb to a 256gb iPad?

    I find that I use FAR less storage on my iPads than on my iPhones. I take a silly amount of photos both personally but moreso for work, and on my 11 Pro Max I’ve used just over half of the 512GBs of storage. However, on my iPad Pro 2020 I have 190GB out of 256 still remaining. Yes, I just got...

    Who’s ordering the new 2020 iPad Pro?

    The 12.9 iPad Pro is definitely the way to go. With the Magic Keyboard it makes it perfect as my main device.

    Who’s ordering the new 2020 iPad Pro?

    The iPad Pro 12.9 with the Magic Keyboard has made me want another MacBook Pro more than I expected. Not that there is much of anything negative to say about this iPad Pro, in fact it has effectively replaced my Surface Pro LTE and blows my old 2011 MBP out of the water, but I’m enticed by that...

    We review the Ember Smart Mug - the last sip of joe is as good as the first

    I have several Ember mugs, including the one reviewed here. I too have been impressed with the experience overall. Hot coffee or tea at exactly my preferred temperature for at least an hour. This matters more for tea as I tend to drink my coffee a bit more quickly, with the battery usually...

    Magic Keyboard Now Available to Order for iPad Pro 12.9- and 11-inch iPad Pro

    I ordered the Magic Keyboard from Apple directly early on 4-15-2020 and it is now late evening on the 25th. My order is still in the “processing” stage, supposedly preparing to be shipped. Out of frustration and a little impatience I ordered the same Magic Keyboard from Verizon late on the...

    Why isn’t iMore optimized for the iPhone?

    That little hamburger looking menu bar on the top left of the home screen does not allow itself to be accessed when I’m using my iPhone X. Since iMore is all about iOS and Mac products from Apple it’s kind of surprising that it’s not optimized to allow for them to work on the website.

    No Notifications on iPhone X When Wearing My Apple Watch

    Any time I am not wearing my Apple Watch, all calls, texts, emails, and anything that I have set for notification, will cause play iPhone to vibrate or sound an alert. This is normal. However, when I am wearing my Apple Watch, rarely do I receive a notification in the form of a sounds or...

    Using an iPad Pro as a MAIN computer?

    I have been using the iPad Pro 9.7 as my main computer for over a year. I have not missed my MacBook Pro for a single minute. Everything I do for work during the day and on my own in the evening is covered by the iPad. However, I keep the MacBook around because the iPad cannot stand on its...

    iPhone 7 Plus or Galaxy S8+?

    I would consider switching back to Android. However, I would need the rest of the family, at the very least my girl/fiancé to make the move as well. There are still those little differences beteeen the OSes such that switching might leave me missing a few things that I care about. I will say...

    Storage full on 128GB iPhone; nothing stored on iPhone to justify it

    Please excuse any typos as I'm using voice recognition : On Wednesday morning, I had approximately 68 or more gigabytes available space left to use on my iPhone 6 Plus 128 gig. By the afternoon, having not taken a single photo or video, only having made a few calls and sending and receiving...

    Looking for a LEATHER Smart Case for the 9.7" Pro

    I'm really surprised that no other case maker has stepped in to fill the gap left by Apple in not offer these cases. I have the silicone smart case and Smart Cover, and even though they feel nice enough, they side in my hands a little and just don't feel as good as leather. They feel more like...

    Looking for a LEATHER Smart Case for the 9.7" Pro

    Unfortunately, no. The speakers and smart connector would be covered. I don't think the sleep function of the cover would work properly either.

    Looking for a LEATHER Smart Case for the 9.7" Pro

    I have the silicone Apple Smart Case for my iPad Pro 9.7. I have the Smart Cover to go with it as well. However, I greatly prefer the leather, like what is on my iPad Air 2 for work, and that I have on two of my iPhones usually. I haven't found anything like these for the Pro 9.7. Can anyone...

    Does anyone use a battery case?

    If I feel the need for a battery case, I simultaneously feel the need for a different phone. There is no reason an iPhone or anything else should not be able to last a full day of use. Heavy gaming might put a strain on that, but that is an entirely different use case, and I have better things...
