Using a 9.7” iPad Pro in 2022
I’ve been using a 2015 9.7” iPad Pro as my main device this week and I can’t recommend it. If you’re looking to save some money on an iPad do not get a device that doesn’t run iPadOS 16. For me using iPadOS 15 itself it fine (iPadOS 16 doesn’t bring anything meaningful) but the […]

My MacBook Air based desktop setup
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about my setups, this one has only really just been setup but it’s working well alongside my day job one. This is a setup that needs to work for both my day job and my writing. In the day job I am using a DELL Latitude that has […]

iPhone 13 Mini vs iPhone 14 Pro
This may seem a ridiculous post but it’s something that I’m thinking a lot about at the moment. With the launch of the iPhone 14 models we have a nice amount of choices at all the different sizes. The iPhone 14 upgrade over the iPhone 13 is so slim that considering the iPhone 13 Mini […]

Does Apple fully test for accessibility?
I think not, if you bump up the font or use Zoomed in mode you’ll see this all over the OS. I’ve been raising radar reports for ages but nothing changes. I know Apple are big advocates for accessibility but I do wonder if they test it fully.

Do you look forward to hardware or software?
As I’ve gotten older I’ve cared less and less about Apple hardware and been way more interested in the software. Growing up I’ve always been interested in design of software and how it hung together but I’ve been more into the shiny hardware. I’m not sure if it’s the stagnation in the iPhone over the […]

Apple swapping the iPhone 13 Mini for an iPhone 14 Plus?
As a user of the Mini form factor it’s been interesting reading the rumours of a new larger iPhone 14, the Plus is coming back. The sales numbers don’t lie and whilst those of us that love the Mini really love them, the market wants bigger phones. We’ll soon find out what Apple has in […]

Is the iPhone boring?
I’ve used the iPhone since the 3G and it’s what I’ve gotten used and serves me the best. But, whilst in a large department store recently I made an observation. Everyone I saw (inc us) gravitated towards the new, the Samsung foldables. I had a play with the flip and the younger generation the fold. […]

Tech takes a back seat in a cost of living crisis
I don’t have to talk about the why we got here but in the UK everything (especially utilities) has risen in price. In a landscape where gas and electricity is up over 100% and only going to get worse, tech has to take a back seat. Having the latest and greatest isn’t comparable to being […]

An alternative to the Apple Studio Display
This video from Matt was great timing for me as I look at possible replacements for a 2015 iMac that we use. As always Matt does a great job of explaining things and the quality of his videos just keeps getting better and better.

Are you cutting back on subscriptions?
With the cost of living crisis a massive problem here in the UK I was curious if you are cutting back on your app or streaming subscriptions? For me I’ve dropped all of my app subscriptions including Apple One, I’ll pay just the £7 for my iCloud data backups but £30 is too much for […]
