I though this story on The Verge detailing several issues with the company Apple uses to deal with its trade in’s very interesting. There are a few things I wonder Is this a US only issue? Do customers think it’s Apple that deals with it? What about in store? Is it US only? As someoneContinue reading “Apple need to be clearer on trade in”

What will Apple announce at next weeks event
Apple have finally confirmed the 20th April 2021 as their next event, streamed online as usual and no audience as expected in these times. I don’t think you can read anything into the invite image aside from the colours. To my eyes this is showing a line of spring colours for maybe watch bands, casesContinue reading “What will Apple announce at next weeks event”
Spotify, why are you releasing an in car player?
Spotify announced Car Thing a few days ago for “select Spotify users” but I have no idea why. I can see strategically they want to be in people’s faces as often as possible but is there really a need for this? All of the cars I’ve owned have been fine for streaming from my phone.Continue reading “Spotify, why are you releasing an in car player?”
Imagining an M1 based 12″ MacBook
The only portable computer I have these days is the 12″ MacBook, mine is from 2016. I love it, I use it throughout the day and it’s so thin and light I take it pretty much everywhere with me. The battery still lasts all day, (thankfully) the keyboard is still working and it’s really durable.Continue reading “Imagining an M1 based 12″ MacBook”
Using Apps that get out of the way
I realised the other day that the apps I’m using these days are doing a good job of getting out of the way and letting me get on with my day. I wrote this prompted by this post from Craig Mod about a similar subject of apps. It’s taken me years to settle on certainContinue reading “Using Apps that get out of the way”
iPhone OLED vs LCD
I’ve been on the iPhone 11 just over two months having switched from the iPhone 11 Pro that I had been using for the previous year. The main reason behind this change for me was to go back to an LCD screen, I’d been bothered by eye strain from the OLED. What I thought IContinue reading “iPhone OLED vs LCD”

Wow, this looks amazing. As a kid of the 80’s where Prime was everyone’s hero, I love this. Video Hasbro Link
Sometimes you just need a basic app
I realised yesterday that whilst looking for another notes app all I needed was something basic. I’ve been doing a lot of job searching stuff in Apple notes and had gotten frustrated by the lack of manipulation options when using tables. I installed 6 different notes apps and set off testing. After seeing all ofContinue reading “Sometimes you just need a basic app”
I stopped using my iPad when I lost my job
In the last 6 months I’ve really changed the way that the iPad fits into my daily life. It’s a strange one given I lived on iOS for so long but changes to my work life meant that it no longer worked for me in everything I did. When I had a full time jobContinue reading “I stopped using my iPad when I lost my job”
You can still use WordPress on iOS
As I wrote about before WordPress is dropping the standard posting method for the block editor. I’m pleased to report in the latest v17 update on iOS you can still use the existing method we are used to. If like me you can’t use the block editor then I’d recommend turning off app updates justContinue reading “You can still use WordPress on iOS”
