I know but the plus was 100€ more and I can't afford that much. I just hope the camera is not too bad, because I'm not worried about performance (my 6 was pretty good running iOS 12)The Plus version is better in terms of camera, battery and screen, but still a great choice. Miss my iPhone 7 using Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 ;(
Usually it's indexing behind the scenes that kills the battery so quickly after a new major update or a dev preview; it might not be a real indicator in a few days or the final build.Camera is great, but battery life, ugh, I remember my iPhone 7 dying just around 4 hours SOT. Often less.
Wait really? Is it that bad? :(Camera is great, but battery life, ugh, I remember my iPhone 7 dying just around 4 hours SOT. Often less.

Yeah, if it's too bad I'll return it. Oh man, now got me worried. I thought iOS 12 fixed some of the bad battery performance.Go to settings and check your battery condition, how much % charge does it hold.
Samsung TVs.
So Samsung TVs get 4K iTunes movies... but if you own a Mac from 2017 or earlier (apparently, no matter how spec'd out) then 1080p and tough shit for you. I'm mad bitter about this.
Hello guys.
I'm forced to upgrade/replace my current iPhone. I was using an iPhone 6s plus for some years and I were quite satisfied by it.
Unfortunately I broke its screen for the second time, and I feel going through repairs again is not worth the price at this point.
I know the "wisest" thing would be to wait for the next line of phones that will hit this year (and we are so close to it), but I don't want to stay with a broken screen phone either, especially since I use it a lot everyday.
I'm thinking of purchasing the iPhone XS Max, and I'd like to know if there's any reasons why I shouldn't? (No money issue)
I like playing games on the phone a lot, so that would be my primary use.
The iMac Pro (2017) has a T2 - in fact it was the first T2 Mac. The only reason I could see it being would be because of some native CPU encode / decode which I believe 2017 macs should still be able to do any way (and the the new Mac Pro wouldn't support anyway...), which leaves GPU decode and the only Mac with a beefier GPU than an iMP is the new MP.Is there some feature they're implementing that the earlier Macs don't have the hardware to support? Is there some T2 chip security feature involved with the 4K movies? (I know it's a stretch.)
My guess is it's something to do with the Intel CPUs in the earlier Macs and some hardware-level DRM stuff that isn't on them, but I could be way off.Is there some feature they're implementing that the earlier Macs don't have the hardware to support?

So I just recently got a MacBook Air a couple weeks ago. Any tips/applications/shortcuts I should know as a MacOS newbie?
Alfred and BetterTouchTool are absolute must haves if they haven't been mentioned yetSo I just recently got a MacBook Air a couple weeks ago. Any tips/applications/shortcuts I should know as a MacOS newbie?
I've came to the same conclusion. Had a late 2015 13 inch MacBook Pro and I didn't use it in any way that wouldn't suit iPad Pro. If you mainly browse the web, consume media and from time to time do some light editing, the Pro is an overkill in terms of speed and power.
Add bartender and banish stuff like OneDrive, Dropbox, CreativeCloud, AirPlay (imho) to the secondary bar.Alfred and BetterTouchTool are absolute must haves if they haven't been mentioned yet
I think they just mentioned rich text support unfortunately. There were rumours they were redesigning it but I didn't notice anything in the macrumors live feed I read yesterday.Did Apple say anything about updates to Mail in MacOS Catalina?

An AppleTV refresh is not looking super likely imo - like the HomePod, it doesn't have a ton of jobs to do so its A8 chip is more than sufficient.Few questions: How has everyone's experience been using the iPad Pro as a full stop replacement for a computer? Cumbersome, aggravating? Because I kinda wanna go in that direction. And what size did you pick up/ are you happy with it? Also, I'm liking what they're doing with Apple TV so I was considering picking one up, however Macrumors is stating not to buy. Is there a refresh on the horizon?
Is there an Amazon Echo Dot-like device where I can use Siri with my existing bookshelf speaker for music playback? I got impatient waiting for an Homepod release date way back when and just got some bookshelf speakers but I'm limited to Bluetooth with them which kinda stinks.
I'm leaning towards the Air too at this point. It seems the more "future proof" option. While the MBP would be really nice too, I guess there would be a refresh probably late this year I'd assume? And as the need for a new laptop is quite imminent, the more recent update seems like the logical step.It sounds to me like the Macbook Air will be perfectly fine for your needs. I say take the money you would have put into the Pro and drop it into Applecare instead.

Oh, I thought it was just the Touch Bar model that got a refresh and that Apple would refresh the lowly Function key model this year but that doesn't seem to be the case? I've been so out of the loop on Mac stuff since I haven't needed a new one in ages.The Macbook Pro was just refreshed a few weeks back, so I dunno if it's due for another one this year. The Macbook Air was last refreshed in October, so I'd say it's probably about mid-cycle at the moment, but I can't imagine what they would really upgrade on 'em that would groundbreaking and worth waiting it out for, especially if you need something ASAP.

Like I'm guessing the only thing they refresh is an 8th gen CPU (still probably a dual core) and maybe the T2 chip and Touch ID, all of which are on the Air at the moment so yeah. Think I'm gonna walk into the store and walk out with a Air in hand tomorrow then.Y'know, you're absolutely right, and I apologize for the misinformation.
You can get a DS4 to work with the Switch with a little adapter, so it might be a good possibility as you can find them a good chunk cheaper than the Switch Pro controller anyway, and it would allow for that kind of flexibility to work with a lot of devices.Ugh, just rubbing salt in that wound. Wish I could use my Wii U Pro Controller or heck, I'd even spring for a Switch Pro Controller if I could use that, but there's no reason for me to buy a XBO or PS4 controller only for use with my Mac and Apple TV, as it'd get used so infrequently.
