All Things Mac/ Apple

My other half just got the 13" Macbook Air today, same specs as the new price but at last week's rrp. I need to update my Mac-Mini and Macbook Air 11" to one higher spec Macbook Pro, but the new offerings don't really do it for me. I think I'll try and hang on until the next iteration and see if they get any better (or cheaper!). I might go SSD for the Mac Mini to give it a little boost for the next year.
Also, I bent my iPhone 6 Plus! Gutted… It's going to cost about £100 to get a new back fitted. Still, two years in and it's still working.

Gonna have to keep my Mid2012 MBP going for a while longer, otherwise it'll mean going back to the dark side (Windows) as PCs now seem to be a long way ahead when it comes to 'bang for your buck'.
@michaeljcr Unlucky! Did you sit down with it in your back pocket?

Sounds like a plan, although I can't myself going purely Windows. I have Parallels on my Mac and an older Lenovo ThinkPad, but I really want to get to just one machine.
Re: the bendy iPhone, I've no idea what happened. I just noticed it one day. I have insurance, but there's a £100 excess, so I might as well just get it fixed. Makes me sad looking at it though.

Check out https://elementary.io/ if you want a Mac (ish) experience on non Apple hardware.

i'm no sure if i'm ready for usb-c yet. been holding off a new macbook pro for the past couple years waiting for a refresh and now this but without hdmi and sd card ports. my current lineup doesn't have a hdmi or retina screen..

I'm going to keep on the mac train. I don't think I'll need to upgrade for a while tho. SO getting good bang for buck. A 2012 laptop going strong in 2016 is pretty good!
Still rocking my ´09- Its on its second charger, the CD-drive has been replaced by storage and the battery wont impress anyone- but it still gives a better day-to-day usage experience then my new work-lenovo.
The mac isnt fast by todays standard and gets killed with batch photo editing, video encoding etc, but for daily use it works just fine.Seemed expensive when i bought it, but its proved itself many times over..
It fell out of the update cycle recently, so will eventually need to be replaced. But the new 15" are steeply priced and this one will be run into the ground before i part with my cash again. -
on the hunt for a new iphone since mine "broke" on saturday -.-
the display showed that the iphone 6 was overheating and i couldn't do anything about it then to let it cool of.after i've wrapped it in some sort of plastic bag and placed it on top of some crushed ice (yeah i was a little bit drunk while doing it), i've picked it up 5min later and nothing worked…black screen all over the place.
took it to a dealer yesterday and he told me that some water got inside of it. screen stays black and nothing happens when i press the buttons.
put it into a bag of lose rice the last day but yeah...don't hoping for much ^^so what to get next? an used iphone 6s looks like the best thing for now...they're still around 480-550chf though
-
I have the 6S plus and I think it's the best version of the iPhone so far, I love the extra screen real estate as I mainly use it as a portable web browser.
Having said that, Tommy has the iPhone 7 (because he's a spoilt little shit), and it is superb. Big improvements on speed and responsiveness.
-
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus both come with a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter… it's not that big a deal.
-
One thing I do find annoying about iOS 10(.2) is the fluctuation of 'Documents and Data' storage used…
2.80GB to 15GB+ just from syncing/ backing up.
-
Get the 7, you won't even know in a few days, and the improvements are SO SO worth it!
Really wish I could get some AirPods. STILL a 6 week delay. I refuse to preorder @ a 6 week wait. The weeks go by, but the waiting time is still 6 weeks. I've looked in multiple countries.
I've seen 2 pairs in the wild since launch..These things are exclusive!

I actually disagree if you carry your phone in your pocket, it adds one more area of weakness.
Admittedly I cycle everyday with my phone in my front jeans pocket, but I have audio issues within 2 months of use..@Finn666 treat yourself to some nice wireless ones when you decide on which job to take

thanks a ton for the feedback guys…much appreciated!
so today i went for the Iphone 6S 64gb. someone working 10min away from my office sold it on a buying/selling platform. we met and voila
about the wireless headphones @Alex i've just recently copped some beatsbydre powerbeats 3 so that problem already was solved before the other iphone said goodbye ^^
-
Picked up a 7 Plus last weekend, love it. Had a 6 for 2 years so it's a nice upgrade.

I got a new Mac book pro the other week. I was a bit dubious about the touch bar but it is actually very useful
-
how's the battery? i'm skeptic about the usb-c though, not really ready for that yet..
-
It's not too bad.
Yeah i had to buy a couple of adaptors for that
