Hi there! I currently own a 2020 macbook air (i5,16gb). For the most part the laptop does everything that I need it to do fine. There are some hiccups, sometimes stuttering performance and really high temperatures (I am from Singapore which has constant 30 degree weather), if that matters for...

Hey guys! Does anyone have an iPhone 5 or 5c (shouldn't make a difference, right?) and already upgraded it to iOS 10? My sister and mother are both on an iPhone 5c and I'm not sure yet if I should upgrade them to the most recent iOS release. In the past, I often heard of more or less heavy...
