What I HOPE Apple’s MagSafe MacBook Rumor Actually Means

So it looks like MagSafe is rumored to be returning to MacBook Pros this year. While the rumor mill does say that this grand return is going to be in the form of the classic power connector, I’m really hoping for something different. While I don’t inherently think that there’s anything wrong with choice — […]

Anker Has Some Cool MagSafe Compatible Products Coming

As CES continues and we see various announcements from companies, Anker has me very intrigued. While it doesn’t look like any of these products are blessed by Apple, it does seem that Anker is taking advantage of the magnets in the iPhone 12 to release some really cool stuff. . I haven’t been watching CES […]

MagSafe Compatible PopSockets are FINALLY Coming

The day I’ve been waiting for is finally here…sort of. This week is CES 2021 and the technology world has been full of great announcements. Much as I do every year, I’ve been scanning the headlines of my favorite sites for anything that stands out to me and this piece of news was one that […]

Podcasts Worth Listening to In the New Year

With the new year comes New Year’s resolutions. I personally haven’t made one in a few years as I never tend to stick with it. Really, most people don’t, I believe. During quarantine this year, I fell down a rabbit hole of productivity YouTube and revamped the podcasts I listen to. Instead of picking one […]

2020 Made Me A Speed Listener (and That’s OK)

With the end of the disastrous year of 2020 inching ever closer, I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting and thinking about things I’ve learned, things I’d like to change in the coming year, and so on. 2020 hasn’t been the perfect year for me by any stretch: I lost some weight but gained it […]

Tomorrow Apple Has to Show Us ‘One More Thing’

I always love the day before (and the morning of) a new Apple event. Then excitement in the community is palpable and the mind can run wild about what the company might show off. As we get ready for tomorrow’s event, entitled One More Thing, we have a pretty good idea of what the company […]

iPhone 12 Pro Unboxing

The iPhone 12 is officially out and I couldn’t help but film my unboxing of my iPhone 12 Pro 128GB. I got the Graphite one! Which new iPhone did you get? Or are you waiting for the 12 Mini/12 Pro Max release? ===Where To Find Me=== Technology/General Blog: https://danstransky.wordpress.com Gaming Blog: http://thatjerseygamer.wordpress.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/ThatJerseyGamer Twitter: […]

Final Thoughts on the iPhone 11 — iPhone 12 Begins

2020 has been an interesting year for me in terms of smartphones. I started the year with one of the worst Android devices I’ve ever used and am ending the year with one of the best iPhones on the market…at least I hope that’s the case. I found out today that my iPhone 12 Pro […]

I’m Not Sure How I Feel About MagSafe Yet

Edit: This post was written yesterday and didn’t upload like I thought it did. I’ve chosen to leave it unedited as if it were properly uploaded when it was supposed to. Please enjoy. Hope everyone’s having a great Tuesday. Today’s a very special day if you’re an Apple fan — it’s iPhone 12 video embargo […]

My iPhone 12 Pro Has Been Preordered

Friday was iPhone 12 preorder day and I didn’t want to miss out on the fun. Being a Sprint customer (now a part of T-Mobile), I had the luxury of getting a “Priority Status” preorder. In the days leading up to preorders going live, I was pretty sure that I would be getting a 128 […]

iPhone 12, Here I Come

Apple’s Hi, Speed event has come and gone. With it, we got a look at two new upcoming products: the iPhone 12 family of devices and the long rumored HomePod Mini. I have a few thoughts on each of these. First, the HomePod Mini. I really don’t know how to feel about this particular device. […]

Predictions for Tomorrow’s Apple Event

Tomorrow Apple has a live stream scheduled for their next online event. This one is called Hi, Speed. and it’s all but confirmed that we’ll be seeing the new iPhone 12 line of devices at the event. Aside from the obvious, I wanted to go over some predictions for what else I think Apple is […]

Come On YouTube – Give Us PiP Support on iOS

With the release of iOS 14 last month for Apple’s iPhones, the company’s smartphones finally have support for Picture in Picture video…in certain apps. On the one hand, this is a blessing for anyone who likes to do other things on their phone while on a FaceTime call with a friend or family member. On […]

Hi, Speed: Apple Announces Event for Oct. 13

Earlier today, Apple announced their next event. Set to stream online Tuesday October 13th at 10 AM PT, the event is expected to give Apple a chance to finally show off their new iPhone 12 family of devices. It’s no secret that the iPhones were delayed a few weeks due to the ongoing global pandemic, […]

I’d Be Okay with a Port-Free iPhone

One rumor that’s always going around the iPhone rumor-mill Is that Apple may be working on an iPhone that doesn’t have a Lightning port on it. I think we can all safely say that releasing a port-free iPhone would be a brave and bold move from the Cupertino-based technology company…but I’d be okay with it. […]

iOS 14 is Here (Here’s Some Thoughts)

Hope you’ve been having a great Wednesday! I have (for the most part). Yesterday, Apple announced during their Time Flies event that iOS 14 would be launching today. With that announcement, I did what I always do: I signed up for the iOS 14 public beta and got all of my devices up to date. […]

CBP Stopping the OnePlus Buds was Absolutely a Mistake

You’ve probably seen this story floating around on tech websites over the last day or so — at the end of August, United States Customs and Border Protection agents stopped a shipment of “counterfeit AirPods” from entering the country. When they posted about the big bust on Twitter, reactions were less than enthusiastic from the […]

Fingers Crossed for Shortcuts on MacOS

One of my favorite things to mess around with as of late on my iPhone and iPad is the Shortcuts app. For those of you that aren’t familiar, Shortcuts is an automation app that was brought to the Apple’s phone and tablet platforms after the company acquired the app Workflow, which I distinctly remember using […]

A Brief Thought on Time

“I believe that you can’t make time. Time can’t be made. It can only be taken. It can be taken by us or it can be taken for us. And that’s a choice that we have to make.” -Ryder Carroll, Focused: Episode 107: The Bullet Journal Method, with Ryder Carroll Time Stamp -08:43 I’ve found […]

You Can Like One and Not the Other

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately is that you can like a product that a company makes and not agree with everything the company does. This thought has absolutely been on my mind because of the Apple vs Epic battle that’s going to be going on in court for, probably, the next couple […]
