Applying stickers to your iPad Smart folio
I love this post by Basic Apple Guy, I’m a big believer in customising your stuff and this looks great. I wish I had the patience but I just slap them on. It’s inspired me to do some planning when I start to decorate my MacBook Air.
Vote with your wallet
I’m reading sites like Ethical Consumer in a bid to educate myself in making good choices and be better especially when buying tech or generally consuming. At the same time I see billionaires spending their (our) money on wasteful endeavours to get into space, not focussing on our issues here on Earth and ignoring it’sContinue reading “Vote with your wallet”
Giving the iPhone Mini an LCD to create the SE 3
I’ve been thinking about where the Mini fits in having tested one a little while ago. There are lots of rumours that indicate this years model will be it’s last appearance and that makes me sad. I loved the form factor but my eyes just didn’t get on well with the OLED used. This gotContinue reading “Giving the iPhone Mini an LCD to create the SE 3”
Why didn’t Apple improve the Home Screen in iOS 15?
In iOS 15 we see no updates to the way that the Home Screen looks on the iPhone. As I’ve already talked about iOS 15 is a smaller update and they concentrated on updates mainly around improving the way we can communicate on the platform. If you got into Home Screen customisation last year thenContinue reading “Why didn’t Apple improve the Home Screen in iOS 15?”
iOS 14 vs iOS 15
I recently put my MacBook Air back onto Big Sur after running into some iCloud Photo sync issues so also decided to drop my iPhone back to iOS 14 to get them in line. What I’m coming to realise is that iOS 15 actually is a minor release, I’d suspected this but in use itContinue reading “iOS 14 vs iOS 15”
Looking back at iOS 4
Going through an old hard drive I was able to find my Home Screen from various old iOS versions. Back in 2010 I was using an iPhone 3GS and always tended to jump on the beta releases. Here’s a few screenshots I found from iOS 4 and the beta back in 2010. Here’s what myContinue reading “Looking back at iOS 4”
The best web browser on iOS
I’ve been testing out iOS 15 since WWDC and it got me thinking about how much I’ve been using the DuckDuckGo browser. I was using it before iOS 15 but with the mixed reaction to the changes made by Apple (see MacStories for a great Safari overview) I think more people might start to exploreContinue reading “The best web browser on iOS”
My 2012 iPhone Home Screen
I did some housekeeping yesterday going through old external hard drives making sure I had everything I needed from them before erasing to reuse. I found quite a lot of screen shots from when I started the switch to writing about technology from previously writing about guitars. I came across my 2012 Home Screen, whichContinue reading “My 2012 iPhone Home Screen”
I’m still impressed with the M1 MacBook Air
I’m almost a month in now with the M1 MacBook Air (8GB RAM, 256GB Storage) and I’m still impressed with it everyday I use it – in fact it’s risen above the 2016 12″ MacBook as my favourite machine that Apple has produced. As you may know I went from testing an M1 MacBook ProContinue reading “I’m still impressed with the M1 MacBook Air”
