Not the best article. “Drivers warned of” What does that mean? It all seems anecdotal at best. What is the warning? We have never experienced anything like this with our family, multiple phones, multiple vehicles, multiple manufacturers, wireless and wired. So your warning is just as...

There may also be a bit of “the good old days” too with the 3G / Edge memories. Edge was terrible. I know - I was stuck on it forever because I used a jailbroken iPhone to enable TMobile use when it was still “AT&T only”. But there is a bit of rose-colored-glasses here because the iPhone was...

Wow, I really disagree with this one. I have had 5G iPhones since their debut, and it was only the first year or so that things were questionable and LTE was your better bet. But since then things have really picked up. Perhaps you have a worse carrier - but anecdotally my experience has been...

Wait, what? I know it’s anecdotal, but I have owned 3 autos and a motorcycle which supported CarPlay without charging for it. So from my personal sampling of vehicles I have owned since CarPlay was introduced I am at 4 out of 7 supporting CarPlay for free. The three that did not were a work...

Wasn’t one of the things they added in iOS 10 the ability to do more of a differential update process? If so, iOS 11 would be the first OS upgrade which was able to take advantage of the groundwork laid in iOS 10. I may be wrong though...

I am a long long time Apple Fanboy. Many many apple devices. Very very fond of repeated words for emphasis. I have a touch-bar version at work. I never use the touch bar. Never. I do use Touch-ID all the time. The touch bar is pretty useless. The cognitive disconnect of a "screen"...

"Unfortunately for original iPhone owners on T-Mo, it uses a different spectrum to access that older network tech, and the phone, should it turn on, won't work." Did something change? I used a couple 1st gen iPhones on TMobile for years. Worked great, just had to jailbreak and unlock it.
