We've been Verizon iPhone users for years - ever since the iPhone 4. On Black Friday, we switched to T-Mobile. Ultimately, their offer was just too good.
We've been talking about it for YEARS, but we finally did it - we added a home server. Specifically, we purchased a QNAP TS-451A network attached storage system. I'm only scratching the surface with this NAS so far. But already, it's one of the more exciting "IT" purchases we've made. Suddenly, we have near-infinite storage space. And it's always on. And when we upgrade our iMac, our data will still be right there . Here's what we've learned so far:
It's been a time of transition around AAAD. Most of our Apple gear is either for sale, recently upgraded, or in a holding pattern while we wait for new releases. And we're all STILL waiting for HomeKit to "arrive".
Our late-2009 iMac has been the best computer we've ever owned. Before the iMac, we used to need a new computer every couple of years. Even after all this time, the iMac still looks and feels state-of-the-art. But is it powerful enough to run High Sierra?
After a week of searching, I finally found an Apple TV 4k on Friday. ( Which is good, because I put our 64 GB Apple TV 4 on eBay on Tuesday .) We've had the ATV4K up and running for 2 days now - is it worth the $179 upgrade? Or should you look elsewhere?
This summer, Apple discontinued the iPod Nano. After 16 years, the iPod Era was over. I've held out hope that the iPod would be re-booted as a cellular device - focused less on local storage, and more on streaming Apple Music. After Tuesday's Keynote, an iPod resurrection seems unlikely. Because the Apple Watch Series 3 IS the iPod we've been hoping for.
