    Obviously just one of the pros, but if you enjoy a stylus at all I say go with the Pro and get a Pencil as well. I don't own one myself but every time I walk in to the Apple store I try one out and the way it writes blows me away every time.
    But if you're just a casual iPad user, you can't really go wrong with the $329 one, and could always upgrade to a newer Pro when they eventually get refreshed!

    I haven't actually tried the Apple Pencil out yet, so I may have to go to one of the stores and just check it out. I don't think I'd use it much, but then again it could turn out to be a really cool thing that I'd want to use a lot after checking it out! Need to look into the practical applications and uses for it verses the art side and whatnot.

    I'm holding out for the possibility of a pro mini since I desperately need more storage on my mini 3. That and I also really like the Pencil. That price cut is really tempting tho.

    Yeah definitely go try it out. I wouldn't use it all the time but I feel like it would end up like my Watch where I'm finding more and more ways to use it all the time!

    I'm dying for more storage on my mini 4. Got the 16GB for Christmas after it launched and I totally love it, but there's just not enough space on it. Thankfully it's just enough for all my streaming/school related things though!

    I've been so tempted to grab this all morning, although I may end up getting a new phone instead.

    Heh, literally the same story here. Aside from storage I have 0 problems with it so I probably wouldn't even be paying attention to iPad news if it came with 32+, but now that I'm looking, I really like the pencil and am just hoping a pro mini isn't exorbitantly expensive.

    Thinking about just biting the bullet and grabbing a jet black 128GB 7 with the upgrade program...
    Since I wanted to wait until September to see what they release this year, at least I'll have the option to get it if I want to but in the meantime I'll have a new phone.

    My ten year old macbook pro battery is completely shot. I have to have my computer plugged in at all times to use it now. It sucks.

    Next Show - Foals April 22nd

    My MacBook from that same era has been like that for almost 3 years now :/

    Somehow it's still kicking at all.

    Not sure how many people in here have used Dark Sky as opposed to the standard iOS weather app, but I kind of got tired of looking at it after while. Was a nice change at first, but quickly started to dislike it.
    Recently downloaded Hello Weather. It's a simple weather app that's very pleasing to the eye. I recommend it to anyone who wants a new weather app.

    I use Dark Sky mainly just for checking snow forecasts. I don't think I ever used it this year, though (because we hardly got any snow :uhoh:)

    Do either of these include radars? I currently use the standard weather app for quick glance and my local news app for the radar. Would be nice to have just one.
     
  15. I really like that red iPhone. I hope they continue to do that color with the new phones. I wish it had a black face or have the ring around the home button be red

    Dark Sky has a radar but Hello Weather does not. I'll keep Dark Sky around for when I need a glance at the radar, but even with the snow we just got I had no intention of checking out Dark Sky. Both great apps, but I just like Hello Weather's UI better.

    If you've got the white, plastic chasis like I do, you can still buy the batteries for them at an Apple Store. I think mine ran me about $100 a few years ago when my battery was on its last leg.

    100% getting that new iPhone SE. I'm so happy they're releasing it. $499 for essentially the 128 GB iPhone 6S with a smaller screen. Still has a headphone jack? Awesome. I'm buying one at 8:02 on Friday. Those new iPads are tempting too.

    I've had it downloaded for a long time and never got around to really trying it out, but would love to finally start doing so. This could mean big things for iOS.

    Nice. It wasn't always free, right? Just installed it, so excited to see what we can do with it!
