Apple Watch Ultra ~£350~now £330
With the sportloop strap. It's impressive but smartwatches aren't for me. Really good condition, I've hardly worn it.

I've been using Freeform on my iPad lately to scribble ideas.
However I've discovered today that it's not syncing with my MacBook. It's in the list of apps when I check my iCloud account. Everything else is synced between devices.
Any ideas why?

who offers the best value on iPhones to trade or for cash? I have the 15 pro max and will buy the 16 whatever on 9th.

MusicMagpie is giving £678, will that be lower once the new phone is launched?

I just sold a 14 pro max for £750 on eBay. Just wait for a fortnight until the next 80% off fee offer from them and list it.

ugh effort but good return! okay.

Always is once the new one is out.

I have just reset my M1 Mac and am setting it up again. Is there any security software I should be using or is it good to go as is?

I’ve unearthed my ancient stash of Powermac G5 towers… 3x units of various specs, free to anyone who’ll save them from the dump.

Would make superb PC cases with a mod kit.

Price drop on the Apple Watch above to £330.

does anyone have a spare/unwanted 45w magsafe 2 power adaptor they want to sell me?

so whats the diff between 16 pro and 16 pro max? other than size? last year in 15 the 5x zoom was only available in pro max but it seems like they are offering exact same camera and sensor on both pro models?

Still no Air Pod Max 2's.. fucking hell, just some new colours and USB-C, meh..

Do like the iPhone upgrades though!

Was thinking the same but then again, maybe there’s nothing to improve?

bigger battery on the pro model 🙂

I was hoping for a redesign to be honest, I'm just finding the current ones quite ugly to be frank.

Also if they raised the bar further in terms of sound quality and noise cancellation after all those years that would have been nice.. oh and a better charging case of course, that current one is a joke.

ah yes

Something better than a 256kb/s AAC codec on £500 headphones.

They are well fugly

Yeah fair point, see what you mean.

Design-wise they tick all the apple boxes, you can see how they reasoned their way there, but I still think they missed the trick.

Looking at getting an Apple Watch, mostly for fitness sort of stuff (I have an Fitness Plus subscription)

I assume something like a Series 7 or 8 second hand would still a perfectly capable job, right? Comparing against the 9/10 it seems like they are more or less the same...

From bbc news
“The Court of Justice gives final judgment in the matter and confirms the European Commission’s 2016 decision: Ireland granted Apple unlawful aid which Ireland is required to recover,” the court said.
Will they pay the €13 billion tax bill to Ireland that they don't want?
