All Things Mac/ Apple

Now is a good time to buy existing models for cheap, when everyone is plumping for the latest thing. I am always a model or two behind, but macht nichts.Just bought a brand new, loaded MBP for relative chump change. (Thanks Amazon!)

@Snowy:

New phones and OS less than 2 months away. This is the period where all our current phones stop working, magically :).

new iphone, new ipad mini and hopefully the skylake mbp15.

I'm still using my 2007 MBP 15" (well it is a bit of a Frankenstein, new logic board, memory and HD upgrades). I really want to upgrade soon though. I have my eye on a Refurb 13" MBP.

i've done a bit of work for my 11' 15mbp like rams and hdd to ssd. but nothing with logic etc that i dare touch. i'm more interested in geting retina display right now. the sharpness and color cannot be compared.

Retina is spectacular, I'm really happy I bought that. I got the first retina ones in 2012

I've got a brand new computer (PC) and my current phone is an iPhone. I don't use iCloud because I don't have Wifi at home, thus I back my phone up using iTunes and my computer. I've read some shit about people losing all the content of their phone when doing this with a new computer..

My question is: Is it safe for me to make a back up on my new computer (via iTunes), using my old phone?

[louisbosco]

i don't really use icloud. so i dont really see the problem with backing up onto a computer.

Hey Peter. Is your old iPhone already paired with a computer? If it is, you'll need to back it up through iTunes on that computer or use the iCloud. Your carrier might offer some cloud storage as well. But if you don't have Wi-Fi that could cost you a pretty penny in data charges.  If you haven't plugged your old iPhone into a computer, you can feel free to use the new one. Hope that helps

Tomorrow is new iPhone announcement day. Like Christmas! 2 years between phones is a lifetime for some!

[Winchy]

Will there not be any other lines updated? iMacs maybe? Or is it purely a iPhone thing?

[louisbosco]

i was just about to ask who's waiting?

anyway am in the market for a new ipad mini. currently using the original mini. and looking forward to the mini to be updated with processors and hopefully HD retina display

Apple have announced a Surface Pro giant iPad!

[louisbosco]

i was really impressed with the ability of it to be able to draw with the apple pencil and the adobe apps that are supporting it. though the ipad pro is not necessarily applicable for me.

iPhone 6S is a big fat yawn….

[louisbosco]

hahaha i like the new 3d touch on the new screens. but then again i'm a huge apple fanboy. so…. it only weighs so much..

Sounds like it was perfect then. It's the tick update to the tock development lines. See 4s, 5s for reference.

[louisbosco]

i think you meant tock to the tick snowy..

^does it matter? Odds and evens, 0 and 1's. any pair would do to explain the concept.
