    New iPhone 7 Plus: the perennial reinstalling vs. restoring dilemma

    I always set up as new. I can do it and have my phone up and running within a half hour. I always recommend to others to do the same. It always turns out better in the long run.

    Do you all recommend using a screen protector on the iPad Air 2?

    Re: Screen protector or no? Never use screen protectors, never get scratches. With the modern glasses unless you are a hard or careless user I find the extra protection unnecessary.

    2014 MacBook Pro or MacBook Air

    The screen is beautiful, but sometimes I miss my Air, especially the 11" which is what I had. The battery life on the pro is good, but the Air's is amazing. If I had to choose again I'd pick the pro though due to the screen. I can't even use an 11" Air at this point because the screen is such a...

    Should I get the MacBook Pro with Retina Now or Wait?

    What hands free devices do you use when driving?

    I hate headsets and would never use out of the car, so I bought a Bluetooth speakerphone for the car, the Motorola Roadster 2. I like having a speaker, just not the roadster, as it has been unreliable. But I highly recommend the idea of a Bluetooth speakerphone. Sent from my Space Gray 16 GB...

    How do you tell if your iPhone 5s is a refurbished unit?

    I've personally had about 4 iPhone 5s, and 3 iPad Airs, it's been a replacement nightmare for me as of late. I'm happy with my 3rd iPad Air, the original had bands going through the screen, the second misaligned magnets for the Smart Cover, but this iPhone has bad battery life. I think I'm going...

    Do you ever consider going back to a Windows machine?

    I would only consider going back to Windows 7, but it's not going to happen. I'd rather stop using a PC than switch to Windows 8. Sent from my AT&T Space Gray 16 GB iPhone 5s using iMore Forums

    How many members actually passcode lock their iPhones?

    Before TouchID I never used one in my life. Now I have one on the iPhone and iPad because iCloud Keychain requires it. Hoping the next iPad has TouchID. Sent from my AT&T Space Gray 16 GB iPhone 5s using iMore Forums

    Clean speaker and mic holes

    I use a little vacuum made for keyboards I got for free on Black Friday at circuit city many a year ago. Also use a gittos rocket blaster I have for my DSLR. Sent from my Space Gray 16 GB AT&T iPhone 5s using iMore Forums

    Would a iPad Pro 13 inch replace your Mac?

    Probably not, but I'm old fashioned. I like having 4 different devices for 4 different uses. And 2 operating systems for 2 different purposes. Sent from my Space Gray 16 GB AT&T iPad Air using iMore Forums

    Screen Protector

    I don't use them, and I don't have scratches on my current 5s, not did I have any on my 5. I got one single scratch on my 3GS from the dumb dog stepping on it when it was on the couch. Sent from my Space Gray 16 GB AT&T iPhone 5s using iMore Forums
