The 3rd Generation AirPods (AirPods 3 from here on) are finally here. Ordered a pair the day they became available locally, and after testing them for the last few hours, I am impressed. AirPods Pro owners who love the increased sound quality and spatial audio but are not a fan of the in-ear tips will […]

The Official Apple iPhone 12 mini Silicone Case with MagSafe Review
Posted January 11th, 2021 by Ryu at 6:18 pm in Accessories, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini and Review. 0 CommentsApple has been making first party iPhone cases for several years by now, but I have largely steered clear of buying them due to their higher prices and lack of full coverage of the body (iPhone 6 to 11 cases).

Posted November 25th, 2020 by Ryu at 11:42 pm in Accessories, MagSafe and Youtube. 0 CommentsiPhonedo tests the Apple-approved Belkin Car Vent Mount PRO with MagSafe on LA’s bumpy roads.

It is based on Apple’s implementation/fork of the Qi wireless standard, and as such, has all of the cons that come along with Qi.

Posted November 16th, 2020 by Ryu at 1:37 am in iPhone 12 mini and Product Reviews. 2 CommentsTook me a few days off from writing here but spent all that time using my new mini and putting it through its paces.

Apple introduces iPhone 12 Studio
Posted November 9th, 2020 by Ryu at 1:16 am in iPhone 12. 0 CommentsSeriously? This is created in the style of the Apple Watch Studio, where you can “build” your perfect Apple Watch case and band combination, and then purchase it straight from Apple.
