Aloha!

I've posted here before, but haven't in a long time, so I'm a newbie retread.

After many years with BlackBerry (up to the Passport) and Android (up to the Samsung Galaxy S7), I have come back to iPhone and iPad.

Why? Two reasons.

1.) I love Apple Music. Truly. Yes, I can get Apple Music on Droid, but it is NOT the same experience without the GUI that iPhone/iPad provides. It feels like a totally different experience on a non Apple product. And as an Audiophile, I do love Airplay. It's awesome.

2.) I love Google, but don't want the world to be totally Google-Ville. A monopoly is not good for anyone. Apple is the only company that can still compete with Google, so I am happy to support Apple.

I first came back by activating my iPhone 4s and my iPad 2. In 2017? A 4s and an iPad 2 ? Yep. And although both are "slow", they worked GREAT. Actually so good I almost didn't upgrade, but finally took the plunge and got an iPhone 8 and an iPad Pro. But I still use the 4s and the iPad2 as Apple Music Streaming devices with Airplay.

So there you have it. I'm back.
