    Buyer's Guide observation

    Not a major thing but I wanted to ask what the "range" of time is between Apple announcing products and their release. Typically I think most products get an announcement and then are available to order a week later, but historically has there been same-day availability, or products formally...

    iPhone 15 Pro Max If you had to buy an IPhone to last 2 years

    My IPhone 12 Pro Max was pickpocketed in Paris last week, and I just found out my insurance doesn't cover it! 😭 I can't afford a 15 Pro Max right now (I always prefer to buy the phone outright), so I'm wondering what would be the best older model Iphone to buy reconditioned or second hand to...

    14" MacBook Pro as designer laptop? (or go 16"?)

    I am looking to upgrade my macbook pro 15" 2017. Now I am hesitating between the 14" and the 16". Anyone have experience working in graphic design software (Figma, Sketch, Adobe software) on a 14" ? The resolution is better 14" compared to the old 15", but screen size smaller. My doubt of the...

    Don’t buy an iMac now???

    I see on the Mac Rumors Buyers Guide that it says DON’T BUY under the iMac. Does that mean it’s not a good computer or that a new model is right around the corner??? I don’t want to buy a new one if that’s the case! Any ideas why they would label it as DON’T BUY??

    iPad Pro Convince me to keep my 2021 iPad Pro 11"

    I've had a 2018 iPad Pro 11" for a few years now and loved it. I'm a heavy Mac user but the iPad has its place for me, despite all the shortcomings of iPadOS. I use it mainly as my "meeting computer", keeping my M1 MBP docked on my desk while I go back and forth to meetings throughout the day...

    Apple Silicone or Intel Mac more reliable

    So I'm sure that a lot of people have already had this question, but I believe my approach is somewhat different. I'm torn between going for the 13 inch MBP with 10th gen Intel CPU or getting a new MB with Apple Silicone, which will most likely release by the end of November. The main factor for...

    All iPads Time to upgrade... buyer advice(standard, Air, Pro?)

    To begin, I'm not asking for you all to decide for me. Ultimately, I will make the choice and just am looking for feedback. My iPad Air 2 has served me faithfully for the last few years. But like all pieces of tech, it has started to show it's age. Some animations stutter, there are weird bugs I...

    AirPods Questions for Owners

    For people who own AirPods, I have a few questions. Is there any BlueTooth hiss? A lot of BT headphones I have tried have a hissing sound that's noticeable when you have them in your ears with no sound playing. Do both microphones work independently? Could I have two people using one earbud...
