All Things Mac/ Apple
-
Checked out the new Macbook (not Pro or Air) and decided I would get one if I ever had to start traveling for work again.
The iPad didn't work out for me. It's functionality was too limited. I'd bring my Macbook Pro with me if I didn't already have to drag around a full sized Dell for work.
So for me, the Macbook would be an iPad replacement.

iOS 9 is already weirding me out. This morning, as I walked out of my house, I glanced at my phone. On the screen was a notification reading "10 minutes to Maplewood". Most Sunday mornings I go to a coffee shop in a neighboring municipality called Maplewood to grab a coffee and breakfast, and that's where I was heading when I got the notification. My phone now knows where I'm going before I leave. But I only just updated to iOS 9 the other day, which means it had already been collecting this information long before I updated. Also, this afternoon I noticed a new folder in my photos titled "selfies". I didn't create this folder, my phone did. I opened it to find all five selfies that I've ever taken in my life and no other pictures. So my phone obviously knows what I look like, searched all my photos, and found all my selfies and organized them into their own folder. Wtf.

that's exactly the shit I hate about today's technologies!
@xtcclassicjust reading a book called "the circle"…it really shows how today's life is all about technologies taking over and how adopted and controlled we humans are by it. a great read!

48 hours after getting my 6S…it's ok
Battery life is impressive, screen doesn't seem like an upgrade to me from the 5S. If it is an upgrade, it certainly isn't the life altering experience as when I first saw Retina. I'm a little spoiled from my Macbook Pro Retina that I'm usually on.
The camera is a noticeable upgrade. Pictures are definitely sharper and more vibrant.
The "Hey Siri" function is weird at best. Maybe I'm old school, maybe I'm paranoid, but it feels like my phone is listening to me all the time waiting for me to address it.
The new 3D press thing is less than useful to me. I'm pretty proficient with iOS already, so it doesn't add a lot of value to me.

From 5S to 6S day to day the screen has been what impresses me most. I just look and stare at the screen more than I should.
3D Touch will come with time, most apps don't support it. I like it on Photos where it pops up this time last year. It does save a little bit of time, but requires a consistent update in Apps before it's going to feel natural…

Hahahaha. It'll take one trip with @Madame Buttonfly to find out for sure, but there are definitely less holes for her to inject (at some force) coffee into the innards…..

Planning on a red wine test next… or maybe neat vodka...

This could change my travelling life…....
Nice. I definitely want to hear your thoughts after you have had a chance to use it.

A friend has one, he raves about how great it is. The global cellular feature is great, we were abroad together, he switched it on and he was given a list of data plans he could use and what the price would be. Brilliant if the country you are in does not have data roaming.

price and data plans with a list, doesn't that depend on your subscriber back home though, for this feature to happen?
