Just a short one from me this time but none the less interesting (In my own opinion).> I have been an iOS users for years yet have never fully got to grips with how to use Siri in iOS and OSX sierra in my day to day life. Some of this mainly down to my naivety of what Siri was able to do. With the integration of Siri into macOS Sierra I felt I needed to maybe get onboard with Siri and the functionality available. For many the extent of Siri related knowledge comes from either Apple ads, asking Siri… read more →

iPhone Flashlight Brightness: I am forever using the Flashlight, (or Torch) within Control Center on my iPhone. When i say ‘Flashlight’, it’s really just the camera LED flash doubling up as a flashlight.

The bad news. Like some of… read more →

Even with Apple… Fail to prepare, prepare to fail Once upon a time, the average workplace was a sea of grey plastic with PC clones wall to wall. Now, you’re just as likely to see brushed aluminium because Apple devices are appearing at work in greater and greater numbers. No self-respecting business would ever have contemplated not having a support contract and a rapid repair arrangement in place for their PC clones. But Apple devices are different. Simply, they go wrong less often and they last a lot longer. Thus, it’s not uncommon find businesses with support and repair contracts… read more →

I have to say that I discovered this neat little trick by accident the other day and since then, I have used it quite a few times! When your iPhone is connected to your Mac computer and you open Preview, it gives you the option to import your photos from your iPhone: File > Import From (your device’s name) This works in the same way as Image Capture and it’s an easy way if you just need to quickly view/ crop a photo, as you can just use Preview’s built-in tools.  

Without a doubt if I was stuck on a desert island the one item I would take would be my iPhone. It may sound stupid to love an inanimate object but I am in love with my iPhone.
