After about four years, I decided to swap out my trusty, reliable iPhone 6s Plus for a brand new (and very expensive) iPhone XS Max. There was nothing wrong with the 6s Plus. In fact, I think I could have comfortably pushed my usage of it for another year or so if I truly wanted…

Why this Apple/iPhone lover won’t be buying the flagship iPhone X anytime soon.
A lot was covered during Apple’s keynote last week. Tim Cook opened the keynote citing and honouring the late Steve Jobs and giving Apple’s theatre his name, recognizing how Jobs truly influenced so many lives when he first announced the iPhone 10 years ago. That was an emotional speech from Tim Cook and does justice…
Every new iPhone announcement causes a great hype, year after year. And for almost a year prior to Apple’s keynotes every September, the ‘industry’ of rumours and ‘inside reliable sources’ comes to play, filling our social media timelines with possible new features for hardware and software. These rumours deal with two sides. Firstly, they give away…
“Every once in a while a product comes along that changes everything”. We all know Steve Jobs gave us that line when launching the, then outrageous, iPhone. This year, the 10th anniversary of the first iPhone ever released is celebrated and the world is expecting a great new phone. Much due to that event, people…
It’s no secret that the iPhone is Apple’s cash cow — the one product that makes Apple most of its money — and that’s fine, except pro users have started to feel neglected over recent years.

While I can understand some of the frustration surrounding this, I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. Before you grill me or label me as an Apple fanboy for saying that, hear me out… Tech is going…
Ready to treat yourself this Christmas? PayPal has teamed up with Apple to offer us 0% finance on all purchases over the value of £99. Considering the premium (and sometimes even overpriced) price tags on Apple’s tech, this sort of deal is awesome for spreading costs across the year. The caveat is that this offer…
Last week I had the bad luck of dropping my iPhone flat on concrete. Go ahead, take a moment to cringe — I know I did. Fortunately enough it fell flat on its back rather than the display (that would have been much worse), which meant a few kinks to its sensitive aluminium body. That was painful to look at,…
Ah, there’s nothing quite like the buzz surrounding an Apple event. Apple fanboys jumping onto social media to taunt the “opposition” fanboys; analysts predicting the growth/demise of the brand; and of course you have the journalists, bloggers and geeks all passing their judgement on the new products. It’s bloody brilliant. As expected we got just…
