I remember my first Apple device was a Macintosh SE. It was awesome as I could edit my papers and correct any mistakes before going over to Kinko’s and printing them out and turning them in. The coolest computer I ever owned was the Mac Cube. In addition to being fast and quiet it was like owning a piece of art. Reminded me a tiny bit of the Borg Cube. It’s still sitting on my desk and after all these years I still admire it’s lovely lines.
The last Apple device I owned was the Iphone 13 Pro. It did everything I needed except the telephoto lens was only 3x and I wasn’t able to get good photos of far away wildlife. Also the battery only lasted a day before the red indicator appeared.
My latest purchase was the Iphone 15 Pro Max in white titanium. Battery last more than 2 days now.
Love the bigger screen, it’s the sharpest I’ve had.
Camera has been working well.
When using the telephoto lens it takes some work holding it steady. I’m looking forward to going to Yosemite next year to get some wildlife photos.
I was using a Fuji mirrorless camera but it was work carrying it everywhere. The Iphone 15 is small and light enough to carry in my pocket. The image quality isn’t quite as good but the convenience makes that tradeoff worth it to me.
I am quite happy with the Iphone 15 Pro Max. It’s the fastest phone I have ever owned.

Nice picture of the moon!
Thanks! This is the first Iphone I’ve been able to get a decent moon photo with.
Very cool to have the latest phone! I’m on a iPhone 13 mini. so I still lug the DLSR around lol. I remember using the Apple Classic in school in the 90’s, followed by my very own Mac Performa at home, which replaced a Smith Corona typewriter. Eventually came the internet, and I’d tap into the phone line for a whopping 56 kbps while everybody would yell at me to get off the dial-up so they could use the phone. Ah, memories.
For some more Apple inspiration here’s a version of the famous Think Different commercial narrated by Steve Jobs himself:
Thanks! That’s great you still use your DLSR! The biggest prints I make are 8×10 so the Iphone is good enough. Once in awhile I do miss the velvety smooth images…
Yes I used the Classic at school and at Kinko’s when I needed to print stuff on the laser printer. I remember using the modem as well when I needed to log in to my unix account to do school work or putter around making websites.
Thanks for the Steve Jobs link!
