    I have been fortunate enough to purchase my new phone every year outright by using the funds from reselling my previous model, and this year I was planning on selling my iPhone X to help buy the iPhone XS Max. I'm not really a fan of trying to sell my devices on eBay and so usually just take...

    Is Apple booming in China?

    From Europe I'm used to overly full Apple stores. Clients filling the venues like Apple just announced new iPhones Xs with 60 % reduced price tag. In China I see a different picture: this is how the big Apple Store on Huaihai Rd in Shanghai looks like this, most of the time. One picture taken...

    Is Apple Becoming Like Comcast?

    I've used Macs for well over twenty years and have always found its customer support to be good, sometimes superb. Of late, however, I fear that things may be changing for the worse.

    Apple Store Providence, RI

    what time do malls normally allow their stores to have lines outside of them. I know the garage is open 24/7, as well as the mall doors, but I went early this morning and the security asked me to leave and didn’t give me a very good answer as to when to come back.
