So recently I have been using the iPad Pro 10.5 inch a ton. I started school at Full Sail University and they sent me a 2018 iPad 9.7 inch as well as a 2018 MacBook Pro 15 inch with Touch Bar included. I don’t use the iPad due to having an iPad Pro and trust me I love my iPad Pro. I have the Apple Keyboard and a nice stylus to use along with it. I even downloaded the new iPad OS. Everything about the iPad Pro is amazing.......but. There are those days when I need to pull out the MacBook Pro and use it. Whenever I do I realize how much better the experience is using a real laptop. A mean, using s Mac is like riding in a limo, while using an iPad is like riding in a really nice car but not a limo. The MacBook just feels and looks like a true work of art. The OS is smooth and the keyboard is so much better than the Smart Keyboard on my iPad. The software that I use such as Final Draft, Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Motion, and After Effects work amazingly well and not even ava

Look at this great looking iPhone XR! A budget phone? I do not think so! For the low, low price of $749 for the basic 64 gig version this affordable budget phone can be yours. Thats right $749 for this so called budget phone. Apple created this phone for one reason, to make money. The iPhone XR is a great phone none the less. It has almost all the same features as the iPhone XS and XS Max. The difference is in the screen and the back camera lenses. Of course this isn't to say that the screen is bad or the camera is bad. Both of these features are excellent in every way. The XR has a slightly bigger screen than the XS and uses an LCD screen where the XS has an OLED screen. The XRs screen does not support 3D Touch either. I have been using the XR for a few days and found that I don't miss the 3D Touch and never really used it to begin with. As for the camera differences I found that the XR has a single camera on the back of it while the XS has two cameras. This does sli

Today I updated my MacBook to the new Mojave OS. Now I haven't had much of a chance to use this new OS but I do have a first impression of what I've found. For starters I do like having the option of the light or dark setting. At first when I downloaded the new OS during initial set up I was asked if I wanted to go light or dark. I of course being curious chose the dark setting, being that I've never before seen it. I tried it out for a moment or two then went into the system preferences to change it back to light. Upon setting up your new OS you may want to go with the dark setting yourself to give it a try. I do recommend doing this to see if you like it. If not no worries I will tell you how to change it back. Simply go to your system preferences, choose general, and on the top row there will be an option for changing from light to dark and back again. Very simple to switch them back and forth. Another new feature I like is the news app from iOS has made it over to

Why I Choose Apple Apple products are truly a great buy. Yes they my more expensive but they also work great, last longer, and connect better. Apple Inc. has been a long standing company in the US and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.  Apple helps buyers choose the device that is good for their needs. Most stores nowadays don’t have the employees on staff to spend time explaining products to customers, but Apple does and will take the time. Each and every Apple Store employee is knowledgeable about their products and will take the time to find out your needs and then give you a suggested product that will meet those needs. Not like the other stores that give you a person that doesn’t understand the products, if you get help at all.  Apple products go together seamlessly. I never understood or even cared about the Apple ecosystem until I experienced it myself. My apps download on my iPad and iPhone at the same time, hand off makes it easy to switch devices and work on

Apple Keynote March 27, 2018 Today, March 27, 2018 Apple announced a new iPad! A few things seem clear to me about this particular announcement. One thing that sticks out is that Apple is really pushing the iPad. On Apples website we see a picture of the new iPad in gold with an Apple Pencil lying in front of it. The caption for the picture says “Like a computer. Unlike any computer” (Apple, 2018). The story goes on the explain that if the computer had been invented today, then it would be an iPad. It seems that everyone was right, Apple wants to faze out the Mac line and push more mobile devices.           The new iPad will feature an undated storage for both students and standard consumers. The student model comes with 200 GB and standard with 32 GB, plus it does support Apple Pencil. A new series of apps for students is also available on the new iPad also. They are called Schoolwork, and Classroom and will focus on education and progress. Coming in at just $299 for stu
