I'm looking for a external ssd for my 2015 Intel iMac that does not cost a ton and is reliable. What do people recommend? submitted by /u/MichaelTheGeek [link] [comments]

Wanted to get some opinion about whether it's still worth getting an M2 Mac mini since they're coming down in price a lot after the release of M4 last week. I will primarily use this machine for coding and web dev. Wondering if it's worth paying more and getting the latest or if it may just be worth getting an M2 used from eBay. If so what would you say is a fair price for m2 now? submitted by /u/gAWEhCaj [link] [comments]

I’m planning on getting a MacBook for Black Friday. I don’t really care which chip it has since all the M chips are very good. But I am looking for 16GB of ram. Something under 850-950. Any ideas on when/where the best Black Friday deals come from? Any help would be appreciated. submitted by /u/Auropath [link] [comments]

I have a 2015 15” MacBook Pro retina, model number a1398, and am planning on getting a 16” M3 pro with 18gb memory, 512gb SSD. I can’t find a good comparison between the graphic and memory online, im assuming since it’s so old. What kind of upgrade would this be? Would it be worth the extra $500 for the 16” M4 pro with 24gb, 512gb SSD? I’m in school to be a game designer and 3D modeling, plus coding, is a big part of my work. submitted by /u/Durzo116 [link] [comments]

Received my new black titanium iphone 16 pro 3 days ago. Noticed some scratches on the inside edges of the titanium chassis, most likely due to the back glass being pried off after installation for some reason. Box was sealed, 2 cycle count and not refurbished based on the product id. Worth having it replaced? My other worry is, probably during quality check they found something wrong with the phone, and had to reopen to check? Continue reading...

So my iPhone 15 was stolen earlier this year. Luckily they never got into anything I don’t think. Anyway I have heard in Google of people’s Apple ID being taken over and they can’t get back into it. My worry is I would lose purchases. Would a spare Apple ID and family share solve this issue? I know the credit card is linked to all accounts on family sharing but I guess they can’t get into these? Does anybody here use a spare Apple ID for this reason? Continue reading...

I want to travel to Thailand, so when I arrive I'll get an eSim. How does it work? I connect the eSim and now I can use that new number to make calls and texts. What happens when I receive a call from my US number, do I see it coming through on my iPhone? If I answer it, will I get charged from my US carrier? If I make a call or send texts to the US will it use my eSim account number? Continue reading...

Is anyone else finding the sound quality of the custom voicemail recording that one makes on the same levels of AM radio transmission in audio quality ? EDIT : I think I’ve figured it out. Apparently custom voicemail that I record is stored on my carriers end. Hence their tapes must be old Continue reading...

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/bpIc8uy2eTs_SDCr9pFvOaZi0yGeDdZxAtSZg8ty0sM.jpg I like to read through the official iOS changelogs whenever a new version comes out and I had pretty much no expectations for 18.1, knowing that it’s very focused on Apple Intelligence which won’t come to my region (EU), but after installing the update I got VERY positively suprised by a feature which for some reason seems to be not even mentioned in the changelog?! Notification groups now show a number telling you how many of them are there for a specific app… This is ESPECIALLY useful in the scenario on the second image, which is a focus mode with the „dim the lock screen” option ena…

It doesn’t show in screenshots so I’m guessing it’s something to do with hardware but the weird part is that only appears in the photo library after opening any photo, then if I scroll down to the collections section of the app it disappears. The line does not show in any other app, just in the photos library part of the photos app. Any i…

I take a lot of photos on my iPhone. It fills up my storage so fast. I prefer to turn off the iCloud for photos because I simply don't have enough storage and paying even the 10/month top off offering doesn't really make any sense in my case. (I also just genuinely think the iCloud is quite confusing. Like I get it, but I also find it hard to figure out when I have like 8 different apple devices) I use external hard drives routinely for camera photos and rarely store many files on my MacBook directly. in the past I would send all my images to my MacBook and put them in the photos app there but my photos app started also taking up too much storage of the computer and ra…
