    iPhone 16 Pro Do you regret upgrading from the iPhone 15 to the iPhone 16?

    I upgraded from the 15 pro to the 16 pro despite the lack of major updates. Truthfully, I’m loving the 16 pro more than I ever loved my 15 pro. The cameras are definitely improved, and I am a content creator who does 85% of my filming on iPhone. The phone feels heavier which just feels...

    Farewell to my mid-2015 15" Pro, welcoming an M4 14" Pro

    My mid-2015 15" Pro has been my ride or die since getting it. It has taken me through a whole bachelor's degree and beyond. It's a 16/256 model with 4 core i7 processor. Still pretty fast for my needs, boots up quickly, and is still in mint condition. That made it hard to move on, but I have...

    All iPads Do you recommend always backing up before an iOS or an iPad OS update AND upgrade?

    Curious what people's habits are — and what their general advice is about installing new versions of the iOS and iPad OS software. And, whether your approach differs between updating and upgrading. For example, updating, say from 17.6.1 to 17.7, seems straightforward, whereas upgrading, that...
