Correction – Apple’s Better Cookies are iOS 11 & macOS High Sierra Only A few weeks ago we looked at Apple’s new and improved cookie handling algorithm in detail, and we at the very least implied it was a Safari 11 feature, but it’s not, it’s an iOS 11 & macOS High Sierra feature. Even […]

How I Sell My Used Apple Gear
One of the ways to justify spending money on Apple gear is to sell your used Apple devices when you’re done with him.

Tiny Tip – Point Your Apple TV Remote in the Right Direction
