The battle rages on between Apple Music, Spotify, and possibly Pandora Music… — What is it you are after? When deciding upon your music app player of choice, there are a few considerations to undertake. Firstly, is your home littered with Apple products? If so, it makes sense that your natural inclination will be towards firing up Apple Music, or its sister, Apple Podcasts. This would be particularly true…

My most used bit of Apple tech, undoubtedly, is one of the least expensive. But, it is the ability for the AirPod Pro to fit in so easily, that makes them my go-to headphones every day. — Why do I love the AirPod Pro so much? I think it was about two years ago, when we were deep in the midst of one of the 2020 lockdowns, that I got my first pair of AirPods. Note, I didn’t say buy, though. I came across them quite accidentally.

I’m a man who likes decent audio. Would the HomePod Mini satisfy even my ear? — Yet another speaker — really? I have my weaknesses, I’ll admit it! And one of those happens to be audio. Now, I am not the kind of guy that will spend thousands on amps, DACs and speakers, but equally, I won’t ever put up with poor quality audio. It just ruins the event for me. …

Is it going to be a big hit… or miss? — End of this super-cycle When iPhone 12 was released, Apple reverted to a three year super-cycle. A super-cycle, simply put, is a period of elevated sales. It kind of makes sense. When the iPhone 12 was first released, sales were strong, as it was a major re-design from iPhone 11. As the cycle moves…

For ages, I was an Intel Mac user, but this year, I knew that had to change. I needed M1 Max on side! — Moving on Normally, I am a pretty boring soul, and I’d say I like a certain amount of status quo. Change is not necessarily my middle name. But when I get restless, and truly know something needs a little ‘mixing up’, then there is no stopping me…

Apple spends millions of dollars every year lobbying to try to get their way… but it doesn’t always work out… — One battle lost I bet, when you read the title to this blog, and saw ‘European Union’, your thoughts would have immediately gone to the long argued USB-C port on iPhone, and that would be totally understandable too. For years now, it seems, us iPhone users have been clamouring, almost begging, for Apple…

How one simple mistake, could so easily have ruined a perfect weekend….but was saved by the power of Apple Silicon & the M1 Max chip. — I had it all planned If you have been following my recent blogs, you’ll know that about six weeks ago, I finally landed in the new age — Apple Silicon arrived in my studio and life. And, it has made quite the difference, I can tell you. There were many reasons behind the need for…

It was troubling me — what is the M2 Apple Silicon chip all about? I’ve spent some time researching this week, and will try my best to explain. — Back to WWDC we go This year, WWDC was one of the longest, and for good reason. There was a lot of new features & even products announced. Centre Stage, Continuity Camera, and improvements to both Messages & Mail. The would ‘would we, wouldn’t we’ debate about Macs at the conference, was answered when an…

I switched to Apple TV a few months back. Over that time, I have transitioned to watching more and more content on it. One app, though, has now made it perfect for me! — It was time for change Firstly, apologies, as this blog may end up being a little UK-centric. That to one side, though, there may still be some relevant content, regardless of where you read this. And that is, push your content provider hard!
