Phil Tann — Thu, 09 May 2024 20:00:01 +0000

I’ve done it again and have had an iPhone in my pocket for the better part of the last few months. This time around I’ve stated with the larger iPhone 15 Plus. It’s not got all the Pro features, but it’s actually a really happy compromise for — in my opinion — most users. There’s […]

X set to stop users blocking each other

The network formerly known as Twitter will, according to its owner, remove the feature allowing user to block others. The clear pathway is that he is expecting user to utilise the mute feature more readily, but that doesn’t solve the core issue at play; safety. Unfortunately X has more than its fair share of keyboard […]

My main issue with the iPhone may be gone with the iPhone 15

Leaks are starting to come thick and fast about more upcoming phones. One that caught my eye this morning is a leak confirming, as we essentially knew already, that the iPhone 15 will likely have USB-C instead of the week known and priorities lightning port. When the iPhone 14 landed, there were a few significant […]

Ausdroid reviews the iPhone 14 Plus — Larger screen and lower price, but is it better value?

Phil Tann — Sun, 23 Jul 2023 21:00:02 +0000

A few months ago, I published a review of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro, which was a really good experience. Immediately after finishing that review, I migrated to the iPhone 14 Plus, and it’s been a good but surprisingly different experience. In typical Apple form, the iPhone 14 Plus has some nice hardware and Apple’s […]

Transferring to a new iPhone shows how easy device migration should be

Phil Tann — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 21:00:43 +0000

I’ve been using an iPhone for a few months now, and it’s been a pretty good experience. In April, I published a review of the iPhone 14 Pro, and since then, I’ve moved — as my second device — to the iPhone 14 Plus, and I want to talk about that data migration experience. I’ll […]

Ausdroid reviews the iPhone 14 Pro — Effortless brilliance, but not perfection

Phil Tann — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 06:49:24 +0000

So a couple of weeks ago, we let loose the information that I was reviewing an iPhone for Ausdroid. I know it’s not what you’d typically expect to see on our site, but given our readership is so eclectic, we figured when the opportunity came along, we’d take it. So here I am, just over […]

I’m moving to iOS for a while and it was easier to migrate than you’d think!

Phil Tann — Sun, 19 Feb 2023 19:10:42 +0000

I’m not going to say it’s a permanent thing, but for a while at least, I will have an iPhone 14 Pro in my pocket and the early impressions are — perhaps unsurprisingly — very good. This isn’t the first time I’ve ventured into the Apple world with a series of posts in 2019 where […]

Google wishes SMS happy birthday and farewell, further backing RCS through Google Messages

Phil Tann — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 21:07:58 +0000

It’s nearly 30 years since SMS was first introduced — Am I that old? — and Google has again upped the ante on messaging standards. In a blog post a short time ago, several key reasons to switch to RCS as a primary solution between platforms have been outlined. The first is not a real […]
