No one asked. I'm purchasing a Dessert iPhone 16 Pro Max 1 terabyte tomorrow. It replaces my Gold iPhone 14 Pro Max 1 terabyte which has AppleCare expiring in 5 days. I have about 180 gigabytes free so no way I can downgrade to a 512GB. Quick iCloud storage update, I'm using 4.56 terabytes …
I bought a pair of "New Balance 890 Revlite Rainbow" sneakers in 2012 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adamjackson/7536602248 Last night, someone in Germany emailed me and asked if they could buy them from me. I said "what's your offer?" and I'm wearing them to work today. …
I have really been enjoying logic‘s new album. The tracks teleport and once upon a time in Hollywood, particularly really good and I just have them on repeat all week.
Using TripMode to see how Apple's AI Private Cloud Compute is working. I'm running the 15.1 Developer Beta.
The iPhone 14 Pro Max is noticeably struggling with iOS 18.0 RC. I'm sure after a day, some of the setup tasks will complete but the phone is warm is opening apps is very slow. Looking forward to a 50% faster iPhone 16 Pro Max next week. The typical reason I have slowness on all Apple devices is …
I may regret this but I'm just jumping straight from iOS 17 stable to iOS 18.1 Developer Beta on my iPad Pro M4.
Sure, a 5 day motorcycle trip around emirates sounds awesome.

I'll be happy to have that $2,000 I was going to spend on a Hermes Apple Watch when the M4 Max MacBook Pro is announced in 4 weeks unless the case isn't redesigned then I'll skip with my M1 Max another year.
I may buy a Series 10 Hermes from Apple next September before the event so I'm within the 14 day return policy just in case Apple decides to redesign the case and drop the 11 year old band connection design. I sadly have a lot invested in Apple's band ecosystem including another $550 spent …
Despite drafting a blog post and many hours of posturing, I've elected to not purchase an Apple Watch this year. I skipped the Ultra 2 last year and will be skipping the Series 10 this year. I just replaced my Ultra 1 using an AppleCare Incident last week so I have a beautiful like-new Ultra …
Hermes still sells leather bands:
Apple Watch Page on Hermes.com is back online https://www.hermes.com/us/en/content/282872-apple-hermes/
More Hermes facts, Apple Watch Titanium in 46mm is $749. If you subtract the $349-$949 from the Hermes band prices, the Hermes Polished Titanium 46mm is $949. Even considering the Hermes includes an orange sport band, that's a $250 premium for a watch that's only benefit is 1 year of …
Here are a couple of high-resolution images of the Polished titanium exclusive to Hermes:
There are actually 4 Titanium Apple Watches for 2024 Slate Gold Natural Polished "Apple Watch Hermès is available in 42mm and 46mm sizes in silver titanium designed to match the stainless steel of previous generations.”
Last thing, if I'm going to have an iPhone 16 Pro Max case on day one that's leather and manages to nail the new button gestures, I'm SOL. It's either buy an Apple Silicone / Clear and deal with it or go caseless.
5. Waiting on Hermes.com to update to see what leahter bands are offered 6. Inclined to get SS Natural + Link Bracelet 7. Link bracelet sees a price decrease for the first time since 2014's release (I still wear my SB SS Link Bracelet that's over 10 years old) 8. Hermes S10 appears to be …
Quick Takeaways: 1. I was expecting AirPods Max improvements. Today's update is not sufficient. Saves me $550 2. AirPods Pro 2 continues to be improved. Saves me $250 3. No price increase so the iPhone 16 Pro Max 1TB will be $1599 (same as the 14 and 15 cost me) 4. Apple Watch Edition stays …
I think I’m finally starting to look “old” like me but older? Does that make sense? It’s not the high contrast of this fun work-supplied “trading card” celebrating our newly opened sports stadium but more that like “wow, yeah my face is looking older like man-face and less boy-face” I’ve started …

…big posting day today, sorry. I got my 6th or 7th Covid shot today. Heather and Matilda are up in New Hampshire with Covid. I so far to my knowledge have never had it and even though I swore last year would be my last time getting a vaccine, I don’t want what they have so I’m being proactive. …
As a millennial, I somehow managed to go to the gym, drug store and Best Buy without a cell phone to navigate and I made it safely! Go me!
@lakelady I don’t have a Lightning to Lightning adapter so I didn’t try that. I thought they’d only go over ad-hoc WiFi?
