$1999 for M1 Max, 32GB RAM and 512GB storage not bad IMO
and the Studio Display 27" 5K is MUCH better than a similarly priced photography display

The Studio Display does not do HDR though.

I bought my iPhone a year ago and the health is already 85% which has lead to shorter battery life. You can also see what's draining battery in settings.

Next time I'm in the US I'm gonna just replace the battery at the Apple store.


Had this same idea with my 12 Pro Max which was 14 months old and had battery health at 86%. The battery health was going down 1% every 2 weeks at this point, so decided to change it while at an Apple store in the US.

Apple genius tried hard to convince me that nothing was wrong with the battery, but I knew that it wasn’t giving me the same battery life as it did in the first year of ownership.
Told them I’d pay the $69 + tax to do the battery service on it.

They told me it would take 1 hour since it takes a while for the adhesive to dry when they change the battery.

Came back in 2 hours and the phone still wasn’t ready. Apparently the first battery they changed it to was DOA, installed the second and their last battery in stock and the phone didn’t turn back on.

They ended up giving me a new replacement 12 Pro Max and a free Apple Leather case and a Belkin tempered glass screen protector for the trouble.

Long story short make sure your phone is backed up with iCloud in case this happens to you too.

Wow thanks . Feel I have to message then from now and start a thread with them so hopefully later in the year when I go I can change it


The battery would have to be at less than 80% health within 1 year of purchase for them to replace under warranty.

Hardware Subscription Service for iPhone and Other Apple Hardware

Apple is planning a new hardware subscription service to explore additional revenue streams. The new service will allow customers to avail themselves of new iPhones by paying a monthly fee.

The report described the new service as Apple’s “biggest push yet into automatically recurring sales.” It will allow customers to subscribe to hardware instead of just digital services. This would mark the first time that Apple customers can get a new iPhone without paying an amount outright or getting a new service or finance plan.

Details about the new service are still not clear. The report said it is still under development and Apple might announce it later this year or in 2023.

https://www.macobserver.com/news/apple- ... ch-in-2022



This is after Apple's many losing points on the Right-to-Repair debate which is about exactly what it says. If you buy something do you own it, and therefore have the right to repair it with a 3rd party? You would think so right? Not according to Apple's bullshite policies which has been covered by many, many tech channels on YouTube from Linus to Marques Brownlee. This guy Louis Rossman has a repair shop in NYC has even gone all the way to being called at a Congress hearing about it. Apple knows they lost and so has now decided to switch lanes in the game.


Apple is working on a hardware subscription service for phones yes many people have said well if they're not going to allow you to fix your hardware then why don't they just lease it to you instead of telling you you own it and it appears that they're actually listening.

I think the new file system, app integration and ease of external displays will have me purchasing an iPad again. Or might just do the iPad Air… ALOT of good stuff coming from apple camp these days

What's your workflow on it usually?
The current M1 will most definitely handle most tasks well - hell my original 2016 12.9" iPad Pro still bolts through most tasks including Adobe Lightroom and video editing in iMovie.

Pretty much I’m hoping for full on MacBook workflow with lightroom and procreate, donated my older mbp and just need the gap bridged between home pc and OTG workflow

kid finally outgrew the amazon kindle.
She's getting into digital art and is doing some pretty cool drawing on her phone and the slow kindle so thinking about an upgrade for her birthday.

The iPad certainly fits the bill. With their transition to the M chip, does it even make sense going with the older A-13 iPad that is still available in the apple store?

The Air is nice, but pricey. She'll have to take care of that good. :/

If you can get your hands on an older iPad that works with the 1st gen Apple Pencil go for it!
It will work out cheaper for you and the functionality is mostly all there

in my experience, kids don't do anything taxing on the ipad. even the cheapest should all be fine. m1 is actually overkill but if you can get it, go ahead.

biggest difference is probably the camera quality tho. kids like to snap pics and draw on them

It serves its purpose well. You get a ping if the tag is not in your vicinity. You can make it chime remotely or put it in lost mode if needed. It’s powered by a normal button battery which lasts about a year or so. The only caveat is if you’re using it for keys you’ll need to get a key tag to hook it onto your existing keys. I have both for keys and wallet, the wallet is made with an AirTag insert

can the out of vicinity ping be turned off so that it is only used when looking for it when lost ?

I tried some other generic keyfinders but there is no battery check option so you never know when the battery is dead.
