Apple

So I am on the Sprint Lease program where I can upgrade every 12 months.

I am still rocking my X rather than upgrade last year bc I didn’t really care about any new features last year. Now my phone lease is up and I can either pay it off and keep it for $250 or upgrade now to the 11.

I can upgrade to the pro for like $10 less a month and be eligible for another upgrade in 12 months. I am thinking the next iPhone will have 5G and USB c so I want to be able to upgrade then.

I figure the Lease upgrade is the best option as I only pay the down payment of $150.

Anyone else in a similar situation?

Also if I do upgrade, any suggestions on the best makers for a new phone case? I have seen good ones by Spigen.

 

It just stopped doing this today. Thank you Tim Apple

 

Mine goes back and forth on doing that. I don’t really know why it starts or stops

 

that’s so weird. I never had an issue w it until I made that post, and it every time until today.

 

wrong thread

 

Oh mine has been doing it for a month or 2

 

Got the Costco MacBook Air, get home and it’s obviously been open before. There are little marks on the body ect.

Now i have to go back tomorrow.

edit - not only did Costco sell me a returned computer, i just opened it up and its password protected. Lol. Wtf

 

On the topic of Costco, the lowest price I've seen on Watch 5

Getting an Apple Watch series 5 and a 4K Apple TV for Christmas

 

It sounds like you should replace the battery.

This just popped up on twitter. What a coincidence

 

Looking for a computer for my kids to do school work on, found a razor 21.5 inch I-Mac late 2015 model, Model MK142LL/A for $500 shipped, good deal or keep looking?

 

Need some help. Years ago I purchased some audiobooks for my iTouch (if that gives you an idea as to how long ago it was) and for some reason they are no longer on my iTunes account. My assumption is that at some point I did a new iTunes account and of course have no idea when or what I changed it from. I still have these audiobooks on my iTouch and want to download them to my iTunes from my iTouch so I can then download them to my phone. Is that possible?

If it's not possible, is there a place where I can download them again for free seeing as how I would really rather not pay another $20-$30 per book (9 books in total) for books I have already purchased at some point?

 

I’m sure there are tutorials on YT on how to pull songs / books off an iPod and onto a computer. Then you just import them into
iTunes and sync it to your phone

 

What the fuck is an iTouch? iPod Touch?

 

The iPods that are iPhones you can’t make phone calls on

 

My mom uses my first gen iPod mini

 

You can FaceTime with them

 

that’s not a phone call

 

You can do audio FaceTime calls so what's the difference smart guy

 

Checkmate

 

The difference is you need internet connection for that audio call while a phone call is transmitted over cellular / radio waves.

The ipods got have cellular service, which is the difference.

you’re welcome
- Smart guy

 

iphones use LTE data to make phone calls and can also use wifi when cell reception is bad. it's all just bits and bytes, analog signals are gone.

explain that smart guy

 

Im so smart I just tricked you into explaining it for me.

 

nope, phone calls still use data aka internet just like facetime audio

 

I found a bunch of websites that had suggestions on how to do it but when I tried a couple of them it wouldn't work. I am guessing I am SOL. So now I need to find a way to download all of these books in a different way because I really don't want to spend $250+ on books I have already spent $250+ on.

 

Rent them from your library? Use overdrive

 

Anyone found good foam tips for AirPod pros? They slip out of my ears

 

Upgraded from the 7+ to the 11 pro max today

 

That’s a helluva step up.

 

7+ finally started slowing down on me, freezing opening apps and battery life had gotten shitty. 3 years or so. It was a good run

Gained like an inch of screen size even though the phones are like the same size.

gonna miss having the home button but in a few days I’ll be used to not having it there

 

It won’t even take days.

I have a 6 year old iPad Mini I use as an extra screen for sports and it always feels so antiquated trying to navigate with the home button.

 

It’ll feel completely normal by the end of day 1 imo.

 

I went from 6 plus to 11 pro max. It was quite something

 

Way to one up me Shaun

 

I’d be surprised if you’re not used to no home button tomorrow FWIW.

kinda weird how quickly it felt natural

 

It’s already feeling way more comfortable after a few hours. The face recognition is real nice though

 

Anyone got a rec for which MacBook I should get?

I've had my current MacBook Pro since 2011 and it's finally starting to bog down and get slow and randomly crash apps.

I definitely don't want an Air, but can't decide which MacBook is the best move or if they'll come out with some revolutionary one in a year.

 

I got the MBP 2018 model (without navigation Touch Bar) and really enjoy it. Has really good battery life and charges quickly.

 

Basically, the one I have now I actually got in 2012 and has 2.5 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5, 4 GB 1600 MHz memory, and Intel HD graphics 4000 1536 MB.

It's been a great laptop, but I feel like it just constantly lags with everything I do now and don't know that there's any way it's going to get any better.

 

I’m all Apple except for laptops. Really seem overpriced for the specs. Design isn’t a big advantage anymore. Is it just the infrastructure and be all Apple? Or are there advantages if you’re a pro video or artist

 

My MacBook Pro is a mid-2012 model and I’ve never had a single problem with it, it still works like a charm, and I have never made a single upgrade on it. The chances of being able to do that with a PC are very slim unless all you do is browse the internet l. But then if that’s all you do, why waste money on a computer when you could just buy an iPad?

 

1) ecosystem*
2) macOS>>>>>>windows

 

I run a mid 2012 mbp that I upgraded to max ram and a ssd. Both easy upgrades and this thing still runs great.

 

Same w my 2011. Although it doesn’t support past High Sierra. Gonna buy the 14” MBP when they come out w it.

9 years is a good run.

 

So

AirPods pro are utterly incredible and the only audio product Apple has ever made worth buying

 

Wife got me some for Christmas. About to set them up.

 

I saw a report saying they’re sold out everywhere online
