The Apple event I look forward to every year looked a little different today. No iPhones. If you read any of the rumors and rumblings leading up to the event, you wouldn’t be surprised that there were no iPhones today. During an earnings call a few weeks ago, Apple gave investors a heads up that… Continue reading Apple Event – September 2020
Back when the iPhone SE was released in April of this year, there was an uproar from journalists and consumers that the new device abandoned Haptic Touch to expand notifications in the Notification Center. And rightfully so. I love this feature to quickly reply to text messages. Currently, on iOS 13, you have to swipe… Continue reading Expanded Notifications in Notification Center on iPhone SE
*Update* 9/1/2020- iOS 13.7 is now available. A few months ago the internet freaked out that Apple and Google quietly installed a COVID-19 tracker onto their phones.

In a world of $1,000 smartphones where does a $400 iPhone, with an age-old design, fit in? My daily phone is the iPhone 11 Pro. I absolutely love it except for one thing, it is still too big. I know I am in the minority here as the Plus and Max size devices are extremely… Continue reading Review: iPhone SE (2020)
