Pre-Apple Event

Image
 Today marks Apples long anticipated September event. With the leaks and rumors surrounding the upcoming iPhone 14, Airpod Pro 2, Apple Watch Series 8 I think this will be an interesting event to watch.  Thanks to a lot of the pre release leaks it will unfortunately be another year of the lightning connector on the iPhone which is really a shame, but hopefully we will see that corrected as more and more of Apple's devices are moving to the USB-C connector already standard on Android devices, the iPad Pro line up, and all Macbooks.  I think this is a miss in my opinion as many users (myself included) are getting tired of carrying around a lightning cable for their phone and airpods, an apple watch charger, and now a USB cable for their macbooks and iPads. The movement to USB-C would be a big step in cutting down cable clutter and improving data transfer speeds when transferring large files to and from iPhones.  This will definitely be an interesting event beyond the h...

Long time IOS user, but tempted to make the switch to Android

 Hey Readers,  I have used various iPhone and android models in the past, and swapped back n forth between models as new features came out. But that all changed in 2018 when I picked up the iPhone X. The phone had good battery life, was comfortable to hold, and kept up with my constant phone use. I wouldn't call myself a heavy user, but due to work emails, teams, Instagram, YouTube, investing apps, etc. I am on phone more than most. With the feature set and performance I wasn't tempted to switch until the iPhone 13 pro was released.  In September I went ahead and picked up this new iPhone. You could definitely feel the weight and feature set of a more premium phone. But after the initial glamour wore off of purchasing a new device and seeing the changes in smoothness with the new 120hz display. It just felt kind of the same as my previous phone, with a slightly larger, screen snappier CPU, and huge cameras.  Pros: -Crisp display with 120hz pro motion  -Great len...

Windows 11: Sorting through the data

Image
 Earlier this year Microsoft announced Windows 11 a complete redesign of the windows environment with enhanced security. This was surprising as Windows 10 was supposed to be the last windows ever and we were just supposed to see updates to this version of the OS. Microsoft has made it clear with products like Microsoft 365 to make windows more like a service rather than just an operating system.  " "Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because  Windows 10  is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10." That was the message from Microsoft employee Jerry Nixon, a developer evangelist  speaking at the company's Ignite conference  this week." (Warren, 2015)  Some of the big highlights include  -Removal of the live tiles from the start menu  -Relocation of the taskbar icons to be more centered (similar to what you see in MacOS and many Linux distros)  -Integration of Microsoft Teams (Like they previously did with...
