At year end, we were cleaning up our storage at the office and rediscovered a packaging box from 2001.
The iPod is safely stored on the shelf and still functioning. The box was stashed away more than 20 years ago.
The iPod changed consumer electronics landscape and was responsible in making Apple as the brand in consumer electronics. Just within a short 6 years after the release of original iPod, Apple released their most popular ever, iPhone.
Twitter is dead, what you see is it’s animated undead remain.
It started with a text at 6:21 am on Saturday morning.
Please fix, possibly today. (Referring to an iPhone 11 Pro with broken screen.)
First I thought I should rent Apple Self Service Repair kit (https://selfservicerepair.com/), but t needed to be done today. So I made an appointment with Apple Genius Bar.
Even though it was a Saturday, my schedule was not surprisingly full. I was working on one MacBook Pro failing to start. At the same time, I was trying to figure out why Microsoft Outlook on a particular Windows PC kept crashing.
A few emails and texts came in for appointments. I also was tasked to pick up a birthday present at a particular retailer. It was indeed a busy Saturday.
I went in to the Apple Store 5 minutes before my appointment, and promptly seated at the Genius Bar. Finding out that the AppleCare+ had already expired, I knew it was going to be an expensive repair; $279 Out if Warranty repair vs $29 with AppleCare+.
Knowing this I made a call to get confirmation for the pricing so I can proceed with the repair; it was approved.
One hour later I went back to the Apple Store to pick up the the iPhone 11 Pro, with new screen. I paid $279 + Sales Tax and went on to my next destination.
A lot of things happened on the first Sunday of 2021 in the news. I won’t get to that since you can search for them.
I was cleaning my 2014 MacBook Pro as it has accumulated a lot of dust inside.
Elliot is staying with us for the next few days.
The (funny) Allen Tire Company is at it again.
iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro can detect the color of Apple MagSafe Cases.
I’m purely guessing here. Apple might have embedded RFID tag on each MagSafe Case.
Thirteen years later, I still have iPhone Bluetooth Headset sealed in its box.
AirPods Pro is my current favorite Bluetooth Headset.
