6s plus to 13 Mini - 6 months ago

Anybody try this? Am falling in love with the mini's size after a few years with this behemoth. Held it on 3 separate occasions in the store. I ordered a red 128 gb Mini 13 from Apple. I like small and pocketable, and I am not glued to my phone screen like some people. I have the largest hands possible on a human being, and it still seems to fit well. Nice using the whole screen one hande

Re: How to tell iPad OS version from box? - 6 months ago

QuoteSarcany Enter the serial number here: It will tell you roughly when the device was supposedly sold. This is usually within a week or two of the manufacturing date (tho this may be slipping a bit with COVID and the shipping-crisis). Then check the dates of OS-releases. The OS on the iPad will be at or earlier than the latest OS available when the device was manufactured. Yeah,

How to tell iPad OS version from box? - 6 months ago

Is there a way? Just picked up a 12.9 inch 5th gen Pro - would be nice if it was still running 14 so I can jailbreak. I have the ipad's serial off the box. I think this can be done with iphones? Not crucial, just interested if possible. Will be buying another this afternoon. Thanks all.

Re: MBP: Does the notch bother you? - 6 months ago

Quote It's not all bad. Apple played a neat trick: The 3456x2234 screen is sized to provide a space for the menu bar while still maintaining a 16:10 ratio below it. When you have an app hide the menu bar by sliding down, it will display at 16:10 like the old MacBook Pro. THIS is good to know. Thank you!

Simple thermal mod makes M1 MacBook Air as fast as a MacBook Pro - 7 months ago

Cool. I mean….hot. Quote The mod is incredibly simple. Other than removing the MacBook Air’s bottom cover and applying the thermal pads, there’s no need to mess with any other components. So you don’t need to worry about breaking anything. And the performance gains are surprisingly significant. In Cinebench tests carried out by High on Tech, the modded MacBook Air achieved a score o
