<\/b>What would the coming of Fall be without a coveted Apple event<\/a>. To be honest, some of the most recent events were a bit long in the tooth, and simply went on forever. At an hour and 45 minutes this latest event wasn\u2019t exactly a short affair, but it rolled by a tad faster than previous displays of Apple goodness, and the faster pacing of the content generally helped the time fly by.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The event opened with a cheeky-fun <\/span>Mission Impossible<\/span><\/i> style action sequence all for the sake of introducing Tim Cook in an interesting manner while showcasing product. (Did you catch those AirPods stayed in her ears?) I found the intro fun \u2026 and being able to see that gorgeous Apple campus on display was really cool. However, and I don\u2019t know if they intended it, I found the suitcase in the opening overture reminiscent of the adventures of Vincent and Jules. I\u2019m sure Apple had no intention of mimicking such a <\/span>Pulp Fiction<\/span><\/i>-esque reference. At least when Tim opened the case it didn\u2019t glow gold from the inside. <\/span><\/p>\n

Apple Watch<\/b>
\nFull disclosure: I\u2019ve been an Apple Watch fan from day one. While I\u2019m far from a fitness-style person, I really like all the notifications, complications and heart\/health monitoring capabilities. The new Apple Watch simply offers some next-level awesomeness in this regard. This is huge for people dealing with any kind of heart\/health condition, and even for those who aren’t. This is true life-saving tech, and at some point in the future it may seem odd not to have a health monitor on you. <\/span><\/p>\n

My other loves of the Apple Watch are simply how it makes certain things faster or less obtrusive. Get a text, glance at your wrist versus take your phone out. When you\u2019re home, you can leave your phone elsewhere in your home, and just travel around with your watch on. In short, for me it\u2019s the convenience factor, but it also gives you much needed time away from your iPhone, allowing you to focus on other items, or that coveted family time. For me it\u2019s time with the wife\/daughter\/dogs along with a plethora of too many hobbies.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think while this new Apple Watch is a leap over the previous series, it\u2019s a pathway that\u2019s going to get even better as the years go on. My recommendation if you\u2019re looking to step up: the Apple Watch Series 4 offers plenty of reason to do so and kindly re-gift your old watch to a family member or friend. I\u2019m definitely in the market, as I crashed my original Apple Watch on a one-wheel adventure with a fellow OWCer in Austin this spring. Oops. Though my Apple Watch did live a long life, it will soon be headed to Apple for recycling.<\/span><\/p>\n

My wishlist for Apple would be to make a $199 Apple Watch. I think that would get it out in front of so many more people. Of course, if you wait for older model sales, you\u2019re almost at that price. <\/span><\/p>\n

iPhone<\/b>
\nDuring the keynote Apple threw everything at us. Can you tell the iPhone is Apple\u2019s premier product? Why, yes. Yes, it is. Admittedly, the tech geek in me loved Apple diving into some of the “tech and specs” side of things more than they usually do. <\/span><\/p>\n

I mean, what didn\u2019t Apple improve upon with the iPhone X series? <\/span><\/p>\n

There are three sizes. All feature-packed to the hilt. I mean, seriously, all they would need to add is a knife and the Swiss Army knife business would collapse overnight. Overall, everything\u2019s faster, the software is greater, AR is coming, the cameras are crazy, the speaker sound seems awesome and photo and video quality are even better than previous versions. Apple delivered a better iPhone X. Did we expect any less?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think the cheaper iPhone Xr (above) will be their top seller. Not because of price but, rather, because of color. It harkens back to the iPhone 5C and people simply fell in love with those models and kept them for years beyond normal use. That and the iPhone Xr actually shares most of the tech in the other X models.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Of major note, Apple\u2019s custom chip achievements are actually the story behind the story. How fast is the iPhone compared to most laptops or desktops? ARM has to be coming to the Mac lineup — sign me up for 40-hour battery life! I\u2019ll take a two-year processor performance hit versus the latest and greatest PC processing capabilities. <\/span><\/p>\n

Just as OWC promotes, and long before I came to be an OWCer, I run my computers for years, not months, and I\u2019ll take a power-sipping ARM chip any day of the week. Hey Apple, make a macOS laptop that runs on iPhone hardware \u2026 we\u2019ll call it \u201cMacBook\u201d \u2014 if only such a thing existed. Maybe. Soon. Please. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Price. Oh, the Price.<\/b>
\nAt $749, $999 and $1099 for the new iPhone Xs models, some people will say \u201couch.\u201d Yes,  the Xs is expensive. I also remember paying $599 + two-year contract with AT&T for my original iPhone back in 2007 on iPhone Launch Day \u2014 otherwise known as \u201cDay 0\u201d in Apple year canon. I jest, they don\u2019t call it that \u2026 I think. ;)<\/span><\/p>\n

And Apple knows the \u201crental\u201d carrier plans out there make an iPhone a monthly payment vs. all up front.<\/p>\n

I like that Apple kept the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 in the lineup. I\u2019m rocking a one-year-old iPhone 7 that is one of my favorite iPhones I\u2019ve ever owned. With iPhone 7 starting at $449, there\u2019s definitely different prices to suit a variety of different peoples\u2019 needs. I\u2019m certainly more than fine with my iPhone 7, but over the next year, I think it\u2019ll find its way into my daughter\u2019s possession, and one of the new iPhone X models will find a home with me. Again, that reuse thing. Pass it on. <\/span><\/p>\n

As a heads up, we\u2019ve just released <\/span>KX cases<\/span><\/a> for the new iPhone X models. Whether you’re gearing up for the new, or passing along your iPhone, KX is a great case to protect your iPhone investment for the long-term. And it won\u2019t break the bank like other protective cases out there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

macOS Mojave<\/b>
\nMojave is one major macOS upgrade, and I\u2019m grateful Apple didn\u2019t go ad-nauseum on the OS releases which were heavily detailed in the Spring \u2026 I\u2019m of the mindset to \u201cjust release it already.\u201d And, luckily, that time is finally here. I\u2019m usually an early adopter of the final release, as I gave up on betas long ago and judging from Apple\u2019s take rate \u2026 many of you out there upgrade early and often, too. <\/span><\/p>\n

That said, one thing many reviewers aren\u2019t covering: if you\u2019re on a machine that isn\u2019t upgradeable to Mojave, you don\u2019t have to go out and get a new Mac. Apple will support the previous OS with security updates for years to come. The general compatibility for macOS Mojave is Mac models from 2012-2018. However, should you determine it\u2019s time for your next Mac, we have some <\/span>great Mac options with savings<\/span><\/a> for you. Or you can upgrade your current Mac to be even faster with the next upgrade with <\/span>Memory<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>SSDs<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Drive DIY kits<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>iMac kits<\/span><\/a> or other upgrades to make your current Mac even faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot of great features in macOS Mojave, but one we\u2019re most excited about is eGPU support. You can plug in an <\/span>external GPU<\/span><\/a> via Thunderbolt 3. It\u2019s a game changer, especially for those whose laptop serves double duty as a desktop and anyone who wants to easily add a faster GPU with the greatest of ease. <\/span><\/p>\n

iOS 12<\/b>
\n\"iOSWith iOS, Apple is just packing in a ton of great features and improvements to elevate the iPhone and iPad experience. Honestly, I\u2019m tired of Apple talking about all the great features \u2014 of which we can\u2019t use yet \u2014 and I\u2019m glad we\u2019re finally nearing the release date so we all can actually experience it. Sadly, one of the cool features — multi-person FaceTime support — won\u2019t be available at launch. You’ll have to wait a little longer. Jeez \u2026 more waiting. But I\u2019m expecting one heck of an update with plenty of cool and nifty improvements we\u2019ll all be exploring over the next few months. <\/span><\/p>\n

watchOS 5<\/b>
\nLike iOS there\u2019s a decent amount of features in the Watch OS. The only downside to any Apple Watch software update is that it takes forever-and-a-day to update. So I wouldn\u2019t recommend doing an update if you\u2019re in a hurry. The only point of note is for original Apple Watch owners, as watchOS 5 doesn\u2019t support the original. Only Apple Watch Series 1 – Series 4 are covered by watchOS 5. That doesn\u2019t make any original Apple Watch worthless; it just means you won\u2019t get the new features, and you can still rock that original Apple Watch to show off that you were among the first. <\/span><\/p>\n

Recycling and Longevity<\/b>
\nOne thing I loved in the keynote is that Apple spent solid time promoting that these products are intended to be used for years, and then recycled. It\u2019s one major thing that made me switch to the Mac back in 1999 (the longevity and appliance-like nature of the Mac vs anything out there). My first iMac from 1999 still works \u2014 original hard drive and all. Nowadays I keep it around as my personal museum piece; after all, it is my first Mac, which was followed by the first iBook, B&W G3 tower, Ti PowerBook, Al PowerBook, G5 Tower, iMac 2008, MacBook Pro … to now my coveted iMac 5K + MacBook combo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Building devices that are reliable, secure and built to live a full life, while promoting reusability — and eventually — recyclability, runs at the core of what we promote at OWC. We strive to extend and improve the usefulness of the gear you have now, and the ability to make it faster so it can serve you or the next person longer. We strive for renewable resources and promote recycling and conservation. We\u2019ve <\/span>utilized wind power<\/span><\/a> since 2009 at our Woodstock, IL, headquarters and have added solar to the mix in Woodstock as well as our Austin, TX, campus. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was a breath of fresh air to have Apple devote a solid amount of time to the importance of long product life spans, quality and recyclability. They breathe it, as we do. Conservation is that important, smart for the future and smart for business to lead the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, Only Two Questions Remain…<\/b>
\nWhat Apple Watch should I get now and which iPhone X model should I get later? Good job Apple \u2026 you sucked me into the awesomeness vortex again. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks for reading, and I hope your next computing experience is a great one!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
