    I'm running out of tech podcasts... what's your favorites?

    ^^ Yeah Macbreak Weekly and pretty much any of the TWIT podcasts are amazing. Not too many focused on JUST iOS or Macs, but I if you are into tech in-general, you will feel at home. :) I listen weekly to: Macbreak Weekly, This Week in Tech (TWIT), and This Week in Google (TWIG).

    What's your feeling after buying iPhone SE?

    Now that I am over a month and half in, I can say that I honestly don't miss the large screen phones at all. I had a 6 Plus (and several Android/Windows Phones) and its so nice to just put it in a pocket and go. Its primarily the lightweight that I notice, but I'm sure that the size has...

    Where were you in 1999? What device did you have?

    This is a fun trip down memory lane! I got my first cellphone in 1999 when I went off to college - a Mitsubishi G75.... :)

    6+ to SE thread!

    The Rose Gold is nice! Even though some people see it as "pink", it would be my first choice for a white-faced iPhone. My wife wanted to be sure and get a clear case because it is a very pretty color.

    6+ to SE thread!

    Lol oh yeah forgot. Mine SE is Grey, my wife's is Rose Gold. Both are 64gb versions. She has hers in a clear minimal case, mine is in the black leather Apple case, which looks great to me.

    6+ to SE thread!

    Thanks! It was a bit weird at first going to the smaller screen, but I was expecting it to be a challenge. The funny thing is that less than 24 hours, I found myself not missing the bigger screen at all. I have had it for 5 days now and I now see it as the normal size - the 6+ is just huge...

    6+ to SE thread!

    I changed from the 6+ to the SE and while it took a minute to adjust to the smaller screen, I have ZERO regrets! Oh my, it is so nice to be back to a smaller phone. It's funny because just before I read this post, I picked up my 6+ and was shocked at how humongous is was... A) pocket-ability...

    Did I make a mistake or ?

    I actually transitioned from the same thing - a 64GB iPhone 6+ to a 64 GB iPhone SE. I was really torn about whether to switch and actually waited to open my SE, just in case I wanted to take it back. But I eventually opened it, switched, and overall, I'm quite pleased with the SE! It took me...

    SE Bluetooth Calls Distortion Problem

    I just tested my SE (Sprint 9.3.1) on a Scion iA (which uses a MazdaConnect audio/bluetooth system) and its fine. Both streaming music and phone calls sound as good as my old 6+. I deleted my old "Rich's iPhone", which was my 6+, and added my SE (which is also "Rich's iPhone").

    iPhone SE: The best ever phone for Mom & Dad?

    I think the SE would make a great phone for your mother. Here are my 2 cents about my experience. My Mom currently uses an iPhone 5 (and has for the past 2 years), and it was her first cell phone. She is not a tech savvy person (at all), but we chose the iPhone5 mainly because it is designed to...

    Grrrr... Sprint Pre-Order of the SE

    Thanks for the feedback. My SE finally came in today, but it might be going back. After talking with several friends in the area who have / had Sprint, we are deciding if we should port our lines or stick with AT&T. Edit: We decided to go ahead and give the 30-Day trial a chance. So far, not...

    Grrrr... Sprint Pre-Order of the SE

    Yes, it has me rethinking because I am on the fence on Sprints customer service, and phones/service are a big expense. I mean, with generally any company, if a product was late to ship, I would just expect them to at least try and make it right, you know? And by Sprint sending the my phone the...

    Grrrr... Sprint Pre-Order of the SE

    So my wife and I decided to port our numbers over (from ATT) to Sprint and get two new iPhone SEs, a Rose Gold 64gb for her, Grey 64gb for me. I placed the order at 7:45am (EST) on March 24th, when the pre-orders went live. March 30, we get an email saying phones will be arriving the next...
