More Reasons to love Apple

Ukraine has been in some hard times with Russia invading them. Apple has made it a point to post it on their main page to try and help those in need over there. These donations will help the families who have survived this horrific time. This war between Russia and Ukraine has been compared to World War II. Absolutely terrifying. I am so glad to be supporting a company that is trying to help those families. There have been countless lives lost simply for power gain.

Next Week...

Next week there will be a WWDC22. (Worldwide Developers Conference 2022) Sounds boring... I know. BUT... in this week-long conference, they announce some pretty awesome things. Last year they announced: iOS 15 (iPhone), iPadOS15 (iPads), MacOS Monterey (Apple computers), and WatchOS 8 (Apple watches). Now that all of that has been out and in use for a year, Apple likes to keep us on our toes. Apple is always thinking and creating new updates and new products to keep us intrigued. There have been rumors that they are already working on the iPhone 14. I get excited when I hear there will be a new phone, or a new update simply because technology is always changing I’m always looking for the newest thing! I cannot wait to see what they announce next week!

Moving Your Search Bar

Recently Apple had an update. When that happens we all know they like to change things around on us. WELL... when this particular update came out the biggest complaint I had heard was the search bar in Safari was moved from the top to the bottom. It drove me crazy for about 3 days, then I found a way to move it back up top! You go into settings and scroll until you find Safari. Scroll and find Tabs and this picture is what you will see. You select what way you want it!

Apple now has its own mini speaker. HomePod Mini is its name. It comes in 5 colors and is less than $100. When you need to make a grocery list. “Hey Siri, start a grocery list...” Want music while you are cleaning? “Hey Siri, play my music”. As I mentioned before, all apple products are connected with the same account, so after you make your list on your HomePod Mini, it is right there on your iPhone when you go to the store. I will definitely be looking at getting one for myself!

Some of it is an extra charge but some of it comes with the Apple products. I personally don’t know what I would do without my music, my storage, and my wallet. There are days where I forget to bring my purse but luckily all of my cards are attached to my wallet. And I definitely cannot ride in the car without my music playing!

Apple has been making some new updates to their phones as they try to get a bigger audience involved with buying their product. One way they have done this was spicing up the colors they have previously had. They added 2 new colors to their newest iPhone 13. Sierra blue and alpine green. Aren’t they appealing ?
