    Does the iMore show still have a chat room and if so where is it?

    I remember listening to Renee, Peter, Georgia and Ally a while back on the iMore show, and asking questions directly via the chat room. That was an eon ago as the Internet counts time, but it was fun, and if the fun is still happening, I’d like to find it again. Anyone have an answer?

    Any regrets buying the 12.9" iPad Pro?

    P.S. forgot to mention that my business is photography and you just can't beat it for a Pixelmator and Lightroom platform. Just wish Lightroom Mobile had better noise-reduction controls, but it's not the Pro's fault. Very snappy on all my photo apps.

    Any regrets buying the 12.9" iPad Pro?

    Re: Any regrets buying the 12.9" iPad Pro? None "Productivity Monster' My only regret is that my 12.9 iPad Pro has only 128GB of flash memory, which is lots for an iPad but skimpy for a PRO device that I use for my business. I have both sizes and use each for different uses, but the 9.7" has...

    How can I off-load iCloud Drive from Macintosh HD to an external disk?

    P.S. By accident, I posted this question before logging in. Sorry! I'd still love an answer, of course.

    iOS 7.1 is live

    TOUCH ID WORKS AT LAST and if that were the only improvement would still be breaking out the hats and hooters for iOS 7.1. Must understand, this user endured 5 complete reinstalls from scratch -- downloading 300+ apps and organizing them into folders, app by app -- and 3 new iPhones, plus the...

    If the next iPhone did not have a bigger screen. How would you feel?

    it really depends upon what HTC, Samsung and Nokia come up with in 2014, but I would be MAJOR disappointed if the next iPhone is not at least 4.5", and I'd prefer 5". I have an HTC Onefor my house phone and love it. I prefer the iOS ecosystem but won't buy another 4" iPhone. Period.

    iPad mini review - 4 months later!

    "Excited?" asked the Apple Store rep?. "A bit," I lied. The Mini marked the first time in years that I didn't feel that new-Apple-gadget rush. BUT THEN. The Mini sneaks up on you.? First you're shocked at how much you DON'T miss the Retina screen. Side-by-side with my?Nexus 7, in fact, the...

    Alleged 2013 Apple Roadmap

    Here's how product dev. works. You have an idea, work up a design, then send it to vendors for rough quotes. You then either proceed or not. If the former, you create a rough prototype for approval and this too is quoted on. Then a full-on prototype. Then maybe even a small production run to get...

    Can someone tell me some good points about the iPhone?

    I carry two phones -- S3 and iPhone 5 -- one home, one work. Before the 5 came out, I was Samsunging, but now my go-to phone is Apple's. Screen is good enough and its connectivity with my Denon amp, Apple TVs is tops. More and better business apps that get stuff done in a professional way. AND...

    To me, the next iPhone should be like this...

    Wearables are constrained by battery tech, sadly. Want want want iWatch but only if Jonny Ive would be proud if it. Otherwise I can wait. Surely an underwhelmed by the Pebble.

    To me, the next iPhone should be like this...

    Skinny as an iPad mini and exactly half the size. Wicked fast, 300 dpi IPS screen, running new windowing OS closer to OS C.
