    Bought an iMac? But wish you bought a ...........?

    After going through months of mental preparation, I'm 'this close' [holding thumb and index finger really close] to clicking that "Purchase M3 iMac" button on the Apple Store website 😁 Before I click that button, I wanted to ask all of you, in my most favorite Mac Forum, if you indeed bought...

    Mini M2 won't recognise my numeric keyboard (cabled).

    My new Mac Mini won't work with my numeric keyboard. The numeric part, that is. Annoying and weird. Mac's seem to become un-user friendly. And don't ask me about Logitech!!!

    Other Going from a Mini to a 15/15Pro - do you regret it?

    The main considerations here are size and weight, given the iOS experience will be almost identical (bar a fiew things, dynamic island, action button, etc.) The voting poll is self-explanatory... do you regret going from a Mini to a 15/15 Pro or are you happy with the move?

    Other Anyone else want a new iPhone mini?

    I’m very disappointed Apple decided to go all big for the new generation of iPhone. I have an iPhone 8, I love Touch ID (I wish they could find a way to bring that back in some ways) and it’s small enough that it can fit anywhere. I don’t need 4 lenses, I have s camera for that and I don’t...

    What are the chances of buying a replacement USB-C port for iPhone 15 when it comes out in places like iFixIt and swapping with the Lightning port from the iPhone 13 mini? Thoughts?

    iPhone 13 mini Has anyone moved from mini to Pro Max?

    The time has come to replace my beloved iPhone mini for battery purposes. I’m likely to upgrade to the 15 Pro, but I already know it will be a too big for me. I had an iPhone X for 3 years and couldn’t wait to downsize since my thumb couldn’t reach the whole screen. Given that, I’m curious if I...

    Choosing Mac mini based on noise (fan)

    I've had enough of my Intel Mac mini so would like to get a new Mac mini. Noise levels are really important as the spinning up of the fan in my current mini is driving me mad, I have discounted the Studio because of the alleged fan noise. Am I correct? So, what I'd like to know is, is there any...

    External drives continually sleeping and spinning up in M2 Pro Mac mini

    I have a mystery that is driving me nuts, and Apple Support wasn't much help. I have two HDDs in an external drive enclosure that continually sleep and then spin up -- over and over, every 1 - 3 minutes. They may also disconnect themselves while I'm away, but that is a fairly rare event. The...

    Phones Zenphone 10 mini Android phone

    I love my iPhone 13 mini. I hope it will last forever. But if it doesn’t, and Apple does not make a new model to replace it, I think a phone like the Zenphone 10 could well fit the bill. Does switching to Android mean selling my soul to Google and its advertisers? What is your experience with...

    Mac mini - for mild/moderate video editing

    Hi all, I do mild/moderate video editing (mainly HD with most videos under 5 minutes, but there is a chance that there may be some 4k in the future), and I'm considering the new M2 mini. Ideally, I would opt for the base model and upgrade to 16GB/512GB, but I need it by next week and can't wait...
