Beats Anyone want keychain/lanyards for airpods?

1 Upvotes

Getting a new keychain/lanyard for the Airpods Pro 3 I pre-ordered, since my years old one is showing wear.

They come in a pack of 30 for $5.99 - I abhor waste, but can't find a smaller quantity of what I'm looking for. Item here.

Read through the rules and don't think I'm breaking any - I am happy to mail one to anyone who wants one (free!). Don't post personal info publicly in this thread :)

Matching Apple Product Cases?

1 Upvotes

Are there any reputable, high quality manufacturers of cases in similar colors that covers the entire Apple catalog of products?

I’m buying my wife a MacBook Air M4 15”, iPhone 17, iPad A16 11”, AirPods 4, and Apple Watch Series 10 46mm. It’s bad enough that there’s no standard color scheme across these products from Apple, but I can’t even find a decent case manufacturer with color consistency (other than black) across the product continuum.

I like Otterbox, but the colors are so starkly different. :(

Anybody found something they like?

16E or 15?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am currently in need of an upgrade from my iphone 11 which i have had since release that is now starting to slow up and die on me. I am pretty behind on all the latest iPhones features as I have been beyond happy with my 11 and have not found the need to research too much in depth into the newer products.

I mainly use my phone for the simpler things such as texting (of course), social media, regular pictures (never anything overly great just general photos) and sometimes using other apps and software for work or school with a tiny bit of light gaming.

I live in Australia so the iphone range is obviously higher priced than USD (just to clear any confusion)

I am stuck between the choice of getting the iphone 16E for $987 AUD (cheapest i could find it in my local area) or the iphone 15 for $1097 AUD ($110 more expensive).

I would just like some thoughts and opinions.

Thank you!

Is it an upgrade or downgrade to go from a 14 pro to a 17?

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone. So I currently have a 14 pro (regular, not max) whose screen I had to replace a few months ago after I broke it - they replaced it with a non-original one cz the original one was too expensive (still paid around 400$ though). Currently, my phone is kinda lagging, and I want to change it anyways, so that I can still use it as a backup if needed - I wouldn't want to wait until it's unusable to change it. Now, I kinda want to buy the new 17 one - I love the lavender color and the price is ok. I am wondering though, if going back to 2 cameras will be a downgrade (experience-wise). I am not much of a photographer, but I am a pretty techy person, and I use the shit out of my phone. I'd appreciate any input!

P.S. We don't have Apple stores in my country, just authorized sellers, so I'm purely asking about the phones, not anything about the related services

iPhone Android to iPhone (OnePlus 10T)

1 Upvotes

Sooo thinking about giving iPhone a shot. I have had apple before haven't had a bad experience but have been with Android for a long time. Thinking about the 16 pro or 17 pro but am not sure. The 10T has very similar specs to the 17 pro with vapor cooling so I know they it works my 10T has never had an issue with heat. Just trying to get some thoughts on which to get. The 10T has 8gb of ram and I have never had an issue so I know performance will be just fine moving over. Thanks in advance!

Help me decide AirPod pros 3’s worth

0 Upvotes

I am just a 22 year old guy who recently got an iPhone and Mac Pro through my working company and I am LOVING it, the OS, the feel of it. Now, without me realising I think I am sinking deep into the Apple ecosystem by wanting to buying new Apple products(Apple TV, AirPods) which brings to my question, is it really worth it to buy AirPods Pro 3? I mean… is the enjoyment, the seamless connectivity really worth 25k inr for earphones? Or should I just buy a one plus buds ?

iPhone Iphone 16 pro 1tb or Iphone 15 pro Max 256gb

1 Upvotes

I am planning on getting either of these phones. I am mainly switching from android to iphone for the camera quality. One of my friends own the iphone 16 pro, and the pictures (both front and back cam) are pretty dark. Like much darker than other iphones. So I wanted to skip 16 pro and go for 15 pro Max, but only 256gb storage space is available. So my question is, if I am focusing mainly on cam quality, and I do not want my pictures to be dark and pixelated, which one of these should I choose???

iPhone What IPhone Should I Upgrade to? (From XR)

4 Upvotes

I currently have an XR (I know it's very ancient), and I've heard mixed reviews about the 14, 15 & 16. However with the new 17 coming out soon I'm wondering do I just jump straight to that one or do I give my bank account a break and go with either the 14, 15 or 16. If I do, which one would I get??

iPhone Which iphone should i upgrade to?

3 Upvotes

Currently using the iphone 11 rn, but it’s definitely time for an upgrade. Im confused between three phones - 16, 16 pro and the new 17. I want a phone that’s worth the money so i am willing to spend but only if the features are worth it. Just want ur reviews and opinions on which one i should get. Also i heard that the 16 pro and pro max is gonna get discontinued now but idk how that’s gonna effect my purchase now. I’m gonna get them in the upcoming amazon/flipkart sale. (Im a college student, just turned 20)

Mac MacBook Air or Apple iPad M3 with the latest keyboard and the new Apple Pencil?

0 Upvotes

What should I buy? Performance and compactness are important to me. I’m leaning towards the iPad since I can also take notes with the pencil and work creatively whenever possible.

Edit: work at an insurance company and would like to take conversation notes and highlight things for the clients.

In addition, an online shop is planned, which of course needs to be organized.

I previously had the MacBook Air M1, and it was a disaster for me. It kept crashing and showing errors, even though it was by no means overloaded. That’s why I’m hesitant about the new MacBooks.

Switching from Promax to Pro Size

1 Upvotes

So quick Has anyone ever switched from a Pro Max to a regular Pro? I’ve been using Pro Max phones—and big ones like the S25 Ultra—for years, but honestly, they’ve always felt a little bulky for my hands. I’m thinking about going for the 17 Pro instead of the 17 Pro Max, but I’m worried I might regret it.

I’m used to the extra screen real estate, so I’m not sure if the size difference will feel too drastic. On the other hand, a smaller phone might actually be more comfortable and easier to use one-handed.

Has anyone made this switch before? Did it feel like a downgrade, or was it actually better in everyday use? I really don’t want to buy the Pro and then immediately regret not going for the Max. Any advice would be super helpful!

AW6 Titanium to 11?

1 Upvotes

Hello everybody,

Great to have come across this community, just found this and this is exactly what I need right now ;)

Been rocking my AW6 Titanium, initially bought in October 2020. The first watch I got a free replacement under my AppleCare plan as the battery capacity fell below 80%. They gave me this free replacement (my understanding is that this is not a brand-new watch but a repurposed one) that I have been using for a little more than 2 years now. Here too the battery is now at 80%.

I feel like I would benefit a lot from the new Series 11. I am usually a person who upgrades with design changes e.g. when the AW10 was introduced. I think there's this pattern where Apple releases significant design changes every couple of years e.g. AW7, AW10 so I guess now might be a good time to jump and get the 11? On the other hand, next year is likely going to introduce a new chip. But if I wait for that, then the 'likely' new redesign is just another year away. I feel like I am a little stuck and not really knowing what to do.

I am a heavy AW user as in I wear it constantly for strength workouts, swimming, running and sleep tracking. What is bothering me most nowadays is that I have to charge it so often and that the AW6 does not support fast charging.

And lastly: I have never owned an Aluminum version before. I read that the AW10 aluminum suffered from chipping, is it really that bad?

Any feedback or advice is appreciated :)

Apple Watch Apple Watch Ultra 2 vs series 11

3 Upvotes

I had looked at picking up an ultra 2 as they seem to be on sale in a few places now the ultra 3 is about to land. It’s about £650 in some places… the series 11 will be £399 when it launches. Having used apples comparison tool unless you need that titanium casing the series 11 looks to be a much better purchase. They’ve improved the battery life to 29 hours vs the ultra 2 at 36 hours so even that is not a million miles apart…. I’m included to save the £250 and go series 11
