Q&A
Mark as by email: who would win out of you two in a drinking contest?
Harry asks by email: If you had to go down to owning and using only one Apple device in your life, which device and why?
Jonathan asks on Twitter: What is your favorite Apple product? Not necessarily the one you use the most or most essential but the one that makes you happiest? For me, it’s the iPad Pro 11 in w/ Magic Keyboard. It’s great for reading comics/books and though iPadOS is limited, it serves its purpose for me.
Dave asks on Twitter: If Apple adds 120hz to their new iPhone, what affect if any do you think it will have on the iPhone battery?
Preston asks on Twitter: What is the ideal price you guys have in mind for AirTags and do you see Apple letting you buy more than one in bulk pricing? Keep up the great work!
Nathan asks on Twitter: What’s your morning routine? Do you unlock your phone and browse in bed for a bit or get up and get things done before even touching your phone? What’s the first app you use to start your day?
