The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro lineup is almost certain to replace Lighting ports with USB-C this fall launch with USB-C when it arrives in the fall to comply with a European Union (EU) law. But there could be complications. The EU — political and economic union of...
I’ve been testing out Scosche’s ThudBuds over the weekend and found them to be a decent, if not great, alternative to Apple’s AirPods. The big advantage over Apple’s product is the price. The ThudBuds have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of US$59.99...
If Apple’s AirPods and AirPods Pro are too expensive for your budget, give the US$24.95 Baseus Encok WM01 Wireless Bluetooth Earphones a look. Available in black or white, they’re light and comfortable. The Bluetooth V.5 earphones provide five hours of audio (or up to...
This MacNews Category Review looks at part two of recipe software for the Mac.
So many choices, so little time. At least that’s what you may think when using your iPad with the Powisicase (http://www.powisicase.com/). It comes in a variety of styles — from black handcrafted leather to a brightly patterned case (which is a bit too froufrou for me) and offers nine viewing positions.
First, let’s look at the practicality of the Powiscase. It has a snap-in frame to hold your iPad securely in place. You push down on the top edges to pop out your iPad, though I had apply more pressure to both insert and remove the iPad than I thought would be required.
As I’ve mentioned before, my goal of using my iMac as my main computer and an iPad with a keyboard as a secondary system for writing articles, checking email, etc., just never panned out. I simply missed having an Apple laptop.
So now I own an 11-inch MacBook Air (standard except that I sprung for the 128GB solid state driver rather than the 64GB model). I use my iPad for media consumption (surfing the web, watching videos, reading ebooks, etc.) and my MacBook Air for creating (writing articles, doing research, responding to email, etc.).
If you have 100 bucks to spend on a premium iPad case, Sena Cases has got your number with the Folio (http://www.senacases.com/apple/apple-ipad-cases), a high-end, Napa leather case that dresses up the Apple tablet in sophisticated style.
It sports a soft, gorgeous leather book style, side-folding design that oozes class. It’s great that the Folio case looks so sharp and snazzy, but if it were looks alone in which it excelled, it certainly wouldn’t be worth a C note. The Sena case offers good protection and is very flexible.
