Good to know - for now it’s being charged with the plug that came with my 2019 iPad and that’s getting the job done.

I’m sure having Apple make a single box to put the headphone adapter I needed to buy into, Amazon mailing it solo in a bubble wrapper, a plane taking it halfway around the country and then a series of trucks driving it the rest of the way did wonders for the environment…

So I’ve had my new SE for a bit more than a week now. Some initial impressions: -Apple really cheaped out on the packaging/included bits. My wife and my mother both bought this same model SE last year. When they got theirs, wired lightning headphones and a power adapter were included. Mine had...

You know what? LivePhoto. I don't know when that came out, that's been incredibly useful with the kids. That was a cool addition.

I can't speak for any other parent, but for myself, I've noticed I'm either taking photos or I'm parenting - I'm not great at doing both simultaneously. And they're still very much at an age where they don't hold still - as soon as I try to take a photo, they either run in the other direction...

It's a good thing I ordered yesterday and that it's delivering tomorrow, because my current phone completely ceased working this morning. The alarm clock went off as usual, but with the touch part of the touchscreen now completely dead (died overnight I guess?), I couldn't turn the alarm off...

I’m also an old fuddy duddy that would prefer to directly visit a website rather than use an app. So if I want something on IMDb for example, I go to IMDb.com, I don’t let it download or open its app. My wife thinks I’m crazy and that I’m making it harder on myself. I find my way easier for me...

I will readily admit that I may not be the most average user. I might be in a minority that gets smaller all the time. For me, iPhone is solved tech. I know what I want from the device and the way it’s worked the past decade has been perfectly satisfactory to my needs. I’m not interested in...

I don’t think that’s true at all. To me, the “mini” is still a big phone, bigger than I’d like. The SE is a big phone, bigger than I’d like. As long as my option no matter what was “bigger than I’d like” I felt it made more sense to get the cheaper of the “bigger than I’d like” phone. Why pay...

The mini a near miss for me. More screen isn’t worth the $300 price differential and the Face ID is a deterrent - I like the feel and function of the button. And when I looked at the difference in sizes between the two bodies, it seemed pretty minuscule. The height of the mini is 5.18 inches vs...

I wasn’t sure exactly where to put this but since it’s 2021 and I need a new phone, might as well be here. I had been very happily using an iPhone SE 1st gen model that I picked up in 2018, precisely because it had the same form factor as the iPhone 5 which I also used very happily. Current...
