You can’t have constructive criticism or gripes with Apple products. It’s either you all in or you’re a hater

It’s not enough for people to buy products and just be ok with them anymore. People have to have their selected product be they best and they have to rationalize that and spread the gospel of it.

So when I’m debating should I go 12.9 or 11 and I go 12.9 and get the thing home and muse it might have been a mistake to get the 12.9 over the 11 because at times holding it is awkward to me then I guess that makes me a hater. It’s like the whole deal on this forum where PS4 owners taunt Xbox One owners like if you bought a certain retail product then you lost and somebody else that bought a rival product won.

Thing is Apple and Google phones both have drawbacks and strengths. Getting one over the other you’ll get some things and give up some others.

I want a new iPhone max
Target is giving away a 250 gift card
Walmart is giving a 300 gift card


But if I get the iPhone 8 Plus Walmart I get a 400 gift card


400 GIFT CARD


I’m coming from a 6s plus should I get the 400 and get the 8 or get the new max and get only 300 gift card

Notch with more battery life or no notch

Finally upgraded my trusty rusty 2012 iMac today. Was able to sweet talk the young store manager lady at Best Buy from 1299 to 1099 on this one

Happy with it so far.

You'll never have to worry about getting another iPhone ever again

Amazon strikes deal with Apple to sell new iPhones and iPads

Anyone recommend the XR? I currently have a 64gb 6+. the battery life is shyt and it's very glitchy, can't decide if I wanna get an XR or 8+.

XR, unless you need the extra money. 90% of a Max for hundreds less vs 8+ is what it really looks like.

Max is more than $100 better than 8+. If you aren't about to do shyt with the extra 100 go for the Max.

Thinking about copping the Max 512... I have a 256 X right now. Anyone here had a 256x and went to the max 512? How is it?

Screen is slightly better holding them side by side but nothing you notice in normal use, battery is a lot better. How much do you want a bigger phone it's the same phone at the end of the day. Much better battery and watching videos on a bigger screen made it worth the jump for me.

Nice. I prefer the MacBook Pro + Monitor combo as it gives flexibility if I need to use my computer on the go, but iMacs are good money if you really aint using a computer outside the crib (especially since phones do so much now)

Look into setting up an external boot drive breh w/a SSD. Everything becomes quicker.

I have a 2017 MacBook Pro as well. Editing on the run is the way for me.


My iMac was just starting to finally show its age with what I was asking of it.

Yeah it was $1099 2 weeks ago, almost copped it but the internal drive is too slow. Doing some research with the Samsung t3 as a boot drives seems to cause issues down the line.
