Lees meerYesterday I posted about missing UPS when they tried to deliver my iPhone 12 Pro Max Friday afternoon. About five minutes after I posted that article, I got a notification from UPS that my new phone had been delivered. Lo and behold, it was sitting …
Lees meerI was expecting my new iPhone yesterday, but it didn’t work out thanks to my impatient local UPS driver. Well, that and a son who didn’t follow my instructions so well. Or maybe it was all because of my dead doorbell. This is far from a disaster, bu…
Lees meerAfter upgrading my iPhone yearly for the last 12 years, tomorrow seems pretty routine. However, it’s always a little more interesting and exciting when there is a design change. I’ve also been on the “bigger is better” track since the iPhone 6 Plus …
Lees meerWe’ve all had our ups and downs this year. 2020 has been one crazy ride and it has affected pretty much everyone, everywhere. Even Apple, one of the biggest and most profitable companies in the world, isn’t immune. However, while everything has arri…
Lees meerWhen I first bought both Microsoft’s Surface Duo and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 2, I was open to the possibility of keeping one of them. It’s not easy to drop $1,400 to $1,850 on a device that won’t be my primary smartphone. However, I do get paid a sm…

Lees meerIf there’s one thing Apple has down to a science at this point, it’s handling hardware pre-orders. Other than a little snafu with my Apple Watch Series 6 two months ago, which was really a band inventory issue rather than a pre-order problem, my exp…
Lees meerI guess we develop more patience as we grow older, because it hasn’t seemed like too much of a wait to get to iPhone Launch Day Number 2. There was a time when I would be happily gearing up to get up at 1:45 AM or so to pre-order the latest iPhone. …
Lees meerI tried buying a Logitech Folio Touch for the 11” iPad Pro before my new iPad Air arrived last week. I knew that cases for the two should be interchangeable and that is true except for one not so little detail- TouchID. Many iPad cases cover the Pow…

Lees meerI reviewed Harber London’s Carry-All iPad Folio in the large size back in July and came away impressed with the quality of both the design and materials. The only issue I had with it was that the large version dwarfed my 12.9″ iPad Pro and Magic Key…

Lees meerMy time with the iPad Air 4 yesterday was about getting set up and started with it. Today was about leaning into a few specific features to see how they work, as well as how they stack up with the iPad Pro. Specifically, I tested the new TouchID s…
Lees meerI came home from working out of town to a new iPad Air. Unfortunately, after a long couple of days on the road, it didn’t make it out of the box. However, after a good and long night’s sleep, I got the new Air out this morning and got started. I’m s…
