    Apple iPad (2018) review: the best tablet under $500

    After being an android fanatic for 8 years, I got an iPhone 8 Plus. The verdict? I absolutely love it

    Posted: 03 Apr 2018 07:49 PM PDT

    I've been an Android fanatic for about 8 years now. I had the Nexus S, HTC One S, Nexus 5 and the Nexus 6P. I've been the typical Android fanatic. I rooted my phones, installed different kernels, installed different roms, customized my phones in every way possible. But as I got older, I realized that I don't have time for that now. I needed a phone that is just that, a phone and I had realized that Android wasn't at that state yet, even with version 8.1.

    The thing that truly irked me is the fact that one always has to troubleshoot the phone in order to get the best battery possible. One cannot just install any app because they might go rogue and keep the phone from going on stand-by. Google Play Services draining the battery? Good luck finding the culprit app. You'll have to troubleshoot the phone as if it was a Desktop.

    But that the thing, I no longer wanted troubleshoot my phone and customize it because frankly, I no longer have time. Therefore, I decided to get the iPhone 8 Plus and wow. I've been using it for 2 weeks and I'm completely amazed.

    The iPhone 8 Plus is truly a phone. Not a Desktop computer but a reliable phone. One doens't need to worry about charging the phone because the stand-by time is phenomenal. One doesn't have to worry about an app going rogue because paradoxically, by being more restrictive, iOS gives more power to users regarding their apps. If I find an interesting app, I download it worry free, not having to worry about it going rogue and draining the battery.

    All in all, I'm extremely happy by getting the iPhone 8 Plus. I don't miss the customizations because I've already been through that and right now, I just want to have a phone that I can rely on that the iPhone is that phone. All in all, I'm happy with the purchase and I'm happy that I became an iPhone user.

    PSA: you can play YouTube videos on safari in the background and with your phone locked again!

    Posted: 03 Apr 2018 12:42 PM PDT

    I am no expert in this at all but I just tried it randomly and it worked! I am currently on iOS 11.3 and I used the default safari browser to play it in the background. The videos even auto play when you exit safari. I tried locking my phone while the video was playing and it still kept playing. I don't know how or when this was added but I'm glad it's back. Enjoy listening to music on YouTube again guys <3

    Edit: btw for those who need proof I tried recording it but I had trouble recording the audio of it playing, you could only hear the video sometimes on and off.

    Apple Pay Fun

    Posted: 03 Apr 2018 11:13 AM PDT

    Just came to White Castle for a snack and used Apple Pay & this cashier went from looking bored to being amazed. He's never had anyone use it or seen it, he started smiling and I kinda made his day. Just wanted to share this small experience. Ha

    I believe iPhone X has a major issue that will only become apparent as the US moves into Summer. I am on my 4th iPhone X. All replaced by Apple due to over heating issues. I am in Australia, we have just had our Summer.

    Apple Music had a better “Weeknd” than Spotify

    Posted: 03 Apr 2018 08:19 AM PDT

    Does anyone actually use the TV app?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2018 03:57 PM PDT

    Big time Apple sheep so I try to utilize all their apps and services; but this TV app lacks big time.

    Was wondering — anyone use it? And if so what for?

    Apple Music Web Player

    Posted: 03 Apr 2018 02:05 PM PDT

    I wish Apple would give Apple Music a web player. I can't download iTunes on my work computer, but web players are OK. I like Apple Music, but I wish I could listen to it at work, rather than using Pandora or Spotify.

    What can we expect with regards to the future of Macbooks and their keyboards

    Posted: 03 Apr 2018 04:18 PM PDT

    Ahoy,

    Recently sold a 2017 Macbook Pro 15. I code a lot, and after 6 months of trying to adapt to the butterfly keys, I had enough. My fingers would/could not adjust, so I'm back on my 2012 Macbook Air for now.

    While this hardware will suffice for the time being, I would like to hear what you guys think we are in store for(if any) with regards to the future of Macbooks and their keyboards. I am afraid that Apple will make all their laptops with butterfly keys, seeing how all of the 'newer' hardware is shipping with them. Do you think we will see updated hardware with the chicklet style keyboard?

    iPad 6 Teardown - iFixit

    What were your favorite apps that are no longer on the app store???

    Posted: 03 Apr 2018 09:29 PM PDT

    With the 11.3 ios update, my fears have came true and i had accidentally deleted an app i used for several years. This affected me like a death of a family member due to apple removing it from the app store. I backed up my phone but not the apps therefore its gone.

    That being said what are apps you wish you could use/play once more and why???

    Why is there a "facetime" option on calls to landlines or non apple phones?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2018 05:08 PM PDT

    today i spent 47 minutes with the IRS in a call and by mistake i hit the facetime button and it tried to connect to facetime and the call dropped. That shouldnt even be an option. I lost almost an hour of my time on that call to then wait till tomorrow because it is closed now.
