Hi All :)

Hi Everyone,
I just joined the forum. Happy to be here. I have been away in android land for a while just to see what it was like....lol But I am back cause I really, really missed all my apple stuff. I will never leave again...sigh! Hold me...sniff...lol :laughing:

How are you all doing? How are your gadgets? I just bought a brand new ipad mini 2 cellular today(my first ipad ever)....unopened because I thought I would post here first. I am sooooo excited. Last I had was an iPhone 5 then I went to android for a bit...I have an imac so the withdrawals weren't too band....lol.

What have I missed since Iphone 5? What must have apps should I get first? and how do you like the Ipad mini 2.

Welcome to iMore! Make yourself at home and enjoy the site!
You missed
iPhone 5s
iPhone 5c
iPhone 6
iPhone 6 Plus
Watch
And a Pad or two.
The big thing with apps have been extensions. You'll learn all about those. I like the widgets that go on the Notification Center. iOS 8 brought some software goodies. You'll learn all about those too.

Widgets are one form of extensions. They go on the Notification Center pull down screen.

Welcome to iMore.

We're a pretty friendly bunch and I still think one of the least biased places for Apple News.
