Apple

They may be junk but I just got three third party Apple Watch bands on eBay for under $6 shipped. Seems like it was worth the chance

 

My brother is friends with an Apple employee and was told not to waste money on Apple bands FWIW so maybe they’ll be decent

 

The prices on the official Apple bands are criminal.

Going to get some of the leather loops and a stainless steel link bracelet band if these turn out alright. Can get a leather loop for ~$15 and the link bracelet for ~$20

 

Can't decide if I grab the older one or the new one now.

 

I’d wait for series 6.

 

all my watch bands are off Amazon all less than $10 and all have been good.

 

Ok picked out my watch I want, what bands are peeps getting? How’s that sport loop band?

 

I do that too unless I order it within a couple of months of it being available

 

Anyone ever order a product through Apple refurbished? The 2018 iPad Pro is $699 and I’m thinking about going that route. Doesn’t seem like an improved camera that I’ll hardly ever use and slightly better chip is worth dropping an extra $300 for the new model

 

Have a 2010 MBP that was refurbed and it’s still kicking a decade later...

 

upon receipt of my Apple Pencil today, i have learned that apples tennessee warehouse is located on darrell waltrip drive

girlfriends 2017 macbook pro wont turn on. she updated it last night and now it wont turn on. makes a sound when you plug it in but no other signs of life. anyone had this happen to them before?

 

what's the sound?

 

like the charging sound. same as when you plug in your phone to a charger. so weird

 

Is the brightness turned all the way down?

 

weird. I had a similar experience with my 2010 but it would make 3 prolonged "beep" sounds at me. In my case, I believe it was the RAM had popped loose and needed to be popped back in.

 

oh god. I hope this is the case.

 

that was the first thing i tried

 

These third-party watch bands from some random eBay seller are nice. They are actually a little longer than what came with the watch so it makes it easier to get on or off.

 

This is the band I have. People ask about it all the time.

I regularly forget that eBay exists...

 

That’s nice, but I think this one I have is just as good.
PUGO TOP Replacement for Apple...


I’ve been back on the Apple sport band as of late but I Really like this one too.
OUHENG Compatible with Apple...

 

So, I’m buying a new iMac and need a 2nd monitor to use with it for my job. Can someone recommend a monitor that’s compatible and doesn’t cost a fortune?

Oh and what cords will I need to connect the two?

Thanks!

 

I was able to snag this one curbside yesterday

Thanks. Bought five of these

 

My wife will tell you I’m always in the nano category

 

My Touch Bar just started going out. Any ideas?

 

Reading up about this new iPhone SE. This thing should be a kill shot to the midrange Android market. Hell, having the A13 chip is better than any chip on any flagship Android device. Considering the much longer OS update cycle, only way you’re getting a decent midrange Android device that’s an arguably better value is if you get it steeply reduced for like $100.

 

have had an iphone 8 for a few years, decided to upgrade. my iphone 11 arrived the same day as the SE announcement.



I probably would've got the SE instead at the lower price point and smaller profile. Don't like the big phones.

 

So return it.

 

thought about it, but the pre-orders don't open til Monday and who knows when it would arrive. Didn't feel like dealing with it. Rationalized the big phone with having a higher quality camera as a tradeoff vs. the SE

 

I've settled on getting a new MacBook air. I think I'm going to spend the hundred bucks and upgrade to the i5. Is that something I should do?

 

Yes, without a doubt yes

 

Unless you’re gaming or doing graphic design / content creation you probably won’t be able to tell the difference.

I’d rather spend the money on storage. But 200 bucks to upgrade to 512GB is a rip-off

 

It’s barely a higher quality camera. Night mode and portrait mode on non humans is the major thing lost. If I didn’t already have an 11 Pro due to size, I would have gotten an SE all day.

 

so the se is basically a souped up iphone 8 right? (I say that as someone who has really liked my iphone 8, but its definitely starting to show its age)

 

Essentially, yeah.

 

Anybody know anything bout my touch bar?

 

could be a bad cable or maybe the controller on the logic board is going bad.

I would start a chat with Apple support, they can usually diagnose remotely.

 

I'll be trading in my XR for the SE. I hate the size of the newer phones.
