iCloud is just like that gas station along the highway where $2 gets me a quick, accurate tire service on a rainy night. I’m thrilled that it’s there. I’ll pay a little extra for the convenience. And I’ll probably pay more attention to my tire pressure just because I don’t have to crawl around and fuss with the tire gauge thingy to get the proper pressure.

Just when you thought that Apple was running thin on new iPhone camera tricks, hey roll out - TA DAH - Macro Mode. Macro Mode merges image information from all 3 lenses to create one excellent photo. Even better, Macro Mode works with video captures too, including Slo-mo and Time-lapse.

My son recently flew off to London for a holiday. Color me envious. So I asked the logical question, me being a Boomer and all; had he bought a London Tourist Guide? Today, it’s all on your iPhone.

iCloud was the first and arguably the best known of all the popular cloud computer services, but it's also the least understood. Features rival the offerings of Dropbox, Amazon, and Google, but what sets iCloud apart is how it enables and supports the whole Apple ecosystem.

Yesterday we discussed the possibility that your Mac is actually functioning fine, it's just stuffed. Fortunately, it's not that hard to fix.

Once or twice a month I get a call from someone who wants advice on buying a new Mac. It's fun. I love helping people who are excited about the Apple ecosystem and want to find ways to take their Apple experience to the next level.

If you ask people what they use to manage pictures on their iPhone, they probably won't say “Apple Photos.” Same for their Mac. Or iCloud for that matter. And it doesn’t help that the name of what it is is the same as what it does.
