    iOS 18, what did you think?

    i will admit being tempted to go beta, maybe on one of my ipads. :) Just watched the five minutes of Apple Intelligence in 5 minutes. Looks very cool. Is any of it workign in the beta? View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_EYoV1kZWk&t=248s

    iOS 18, what did you think?

    Agreed about productivity and cost. I can use it to very much improve my productivity. BUT I know how to write. I know how to make arguments. I know how to summarize information. But my students don't have those skills, or have them in limited ways. And are we helping them? In all...

    iOS 18, what did you think?

    Not really. it means the data gets uploaded and processed, but is not added to the training database which expands its scope. No different then when I use the Team version of ChatGPT. None of the documents uploaded go to the full database. It is in its own sandbox.

    iOS 18, what did you think?

    My first response to the news that ChatGPT was being integrated into iOS18 was to groan. It was a nail in the coffin of student writing skills. I have been grappling with GPT in classes for the last 18 months, but this fall I intentionally wrote an assignment in which the students had to...

    AppleTV 4K Users Question

    The frustrations of going nuclear. I don’t tend to use YouTube on my Apple TV, but definitely don’t want to lose the Apple screen savers.

    Has Apple lost it's magic?

    I am firmly entrenched in the iOS and MacOS world. And it dies everything I want. The complete synchronicity from phone, tablet, computer, watch and television can not be beat. Did I need a iPhone 14 pro max? No. But a 48mp camera alone made it worth while. I don’t care that others have...

    AppleTV 4K Users Question

    We just got our first OLED set - a Vizion 65", and I upgraded to the v2 of the Apple TV 4k, and a new Denon AV Receiver that supports 4k, and DV. This is helpful. I will test out the youtube app when I get home from my trip. I bought a monoprice HDMI 2.1 cable. It seems to be working...

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    My version 6 probably has another two years life left in it.

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    My four lasted three years then the battery just wasn’t cutting it.

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    My Apple Watch 6 remains an incredibly valuable piece of tech with no problems in the 18 months I have had it.

    iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max pre order.

    Shock of all shockers, I haven't upgraded my 11 Pro Max to a 12 Pro Max. I'm still mulling it over. This is a first for me.

    AirPod Pro.

    They really are great. I used them on my flight to Germany in February. Worked as good as my Bose QC30s. (I did have a pair of Bose with me in case they didn't work, but it wasn't necessary). I use them whenever I mow the lawn.

    AirPod Pro.

    Yes. I use them every time I mow the lawn. They are pretty effective and that mower is pretty loud. I use my normal AirPods for when I ride my bike (I listen to audiobooks). I could use the pro's in transparent mode, but I feel like the originals fit better for exercise.

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    My watch recorded 24 hours of standing activity yesterday, which began at 6am Berlin time and ended at 11pm central (5:45am Berlin, Sunday). My last trip abroad I actually got it to record 25 hours in a day. :)

    AirPod Pro.

    Used my Apple AirPodsPro on my flight to Germany. Was impressed with the noise cancelling. Worked great. But after a few hours my ears felt a bit sore. I swapped to my Bose QC20 Noise cancelling in-ear buds for a change. Both headphones work about the same with noise cancelling. The key...

    AppleTV 4K = $90!

    Have three Apple TV's, one 4k. My entire music and movie library is on it, so since my living room Apple TV is connected to my Denon receiver it provides access to all my music. My 4k Apple TV is on a TV that is a Roku TV. Just find the interface on Apple TV much easier to deal with. Only...

    New iPad Pros

    I just got the 11" pro. Absolutely love it. Face ID is a nice enhancement.

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    If she is going to do a lot of exercise wearing the watch, the elastometric Nike bands are the best there are. They breathe so much better than the sports ban.

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    When I got a Wahoo Kickr indoor smart bike trainer, I quickly grew frustrated that its software would not take HR data from AW. I had to spend another $40 to get their arm-band HRM. I routinely compare its data with the AW. Pretty much identical. I'd say the AW is really excellent.

    Battery Life on the AW4

    Why start the day around 50% when I take it off anyways at night? Not like I have to pay to recharge it.

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    I love this thread goes back to the question of "will you buy the FIRST Apple Watch, back in March 2015. I was a NO to that. But a yes, to AW2, AW3, and AW4. :)

    Battery Life on the AW4

    I realize mine is at 67% right now. At 10pm. I wear it all day and when I go to bed just put it on the charger. I could probably go close to 2 days, but not worth the hassle of worrying about it.

    New iPad 11” & 12.9”

    Yeah, and I wish I had not read about the new mac mini. I have a nice 24" 4k monitor that would work really well with that. I have the keybaord, the magic track pad, all I need is that little mini. And a new iPad. :D

    New iPad 11” & 12.9”

    I was at a BB today. Played with the 11 and 12.9 Pro. Wow. So light, it's crazy. The screen was very nice, definitely an improvement over the screen on my 10.5. But really about the same size, only nominally bigger. And while a much smaller bezel, not edge to edge like the XS Max. If...
