    I will just because I’ve been doing so with all packages from places like Amazon and that.

    Welcome Craig! As for iPads, I'm surprised where you do lectures and research you don't utilize an iPad or an iPad Pro. With the ability to do split page apps (Safari on the left, Pages on the right) or even floating apps, its wonderful. I've found the best use for this for me is watching...

    How, if at all, have your Apple devices came in handy during this quarantine/self isolation time?

    Honestly, I use my iPad Mini (3rd Gen) to do work conference calls. A lot of people comment on the clarity of the camera - which is a lot better than my newest PC's camera (Asus VivoBook 14). My iPad is mainly used for (I do a bunch of this on my iPhone as well): 1) Streaming Services (YouTube...

    Is 64GB in an iPhone enough? I think so, and I'll tell you why

    Wow. I had the 64GB SE, 32GB 7, and my current is the 64GB 8+. I have over 30 GB free on my 8+ and my SE almost had 40GB free. My iPads had at least 8GB free for the 32 GB but I clean up often. Yeah I haven’t played that in a few months - delete. Didn’t like that it’s gone. Etc. 64GB is great...

    Do you ever mind what others use for a daily driver?

    I enjoy peace of mind when it comes to security and updates. This is something I haven’t had with Android and I strongly dislike about its ecosystem. I’ve used everything from Palm to blackberry to Android to Windows to Apple. Apple keeps my peace of mind plus all the features and speed I want...

    Hello iMore

    Welcome to iMore. I used to be the same way, until I got phones that didn’t even get a security update despite being $300. iOS is just amazing! Glad you’re enjoying the X :-)

    MacBook 5,2 (mid 2009)

    Sierra patch works great on it. I didn’t have a torx to replace the hard drive but over usb it took 15 min whereas it took over 40 min with the 160 go drive in it. A good portion of apps I tried to install wouldn’t because I didn’t have Sierra. But now they work. Tech all I want is pages...
