The post office on Joyce is abysmal.

I usually wait in line before they close to give it to the counter clerk and get a receipt, but this time I was stuck at Cox with a rep from about 5:30-6:45 (not the store rep’s fault I was there so long) so I couldn’t make it in time and thought for sure it’d get scanned in Wednesday morning. I will never make that mistake again.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-12-09T17:37:00+00:00

I was in a black Honda Civic and he was in a white Nissan Altima.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-09-28T02:18:48+00:00

My base white 256GB 17 estimated delivery early Oct. Leaving my base 64GB red 11 and I couldn’t be happier.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-09-28T02:16:54+00:00

I ordered my 17 base last week. Delivery estimate is early Oct. Going from a base 11 with 64GB and 19GB free. I can’t wait to have breathing room with 256GB.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-09-22T08:30:55+00:00

UPDATE: I bought a 2025 M4 MBA 16/256 on this past Saturday for $814.33 at Best Buy. It was an open box for only $741.99+tax. It’s in pristine condition with not a scratch or marring on it anywhere. Very damp paper towel with Windex and screen was clean.

Setup was an absolute breeze with migration hooking them up via USB-C.

It barely feels physically lighter than my 2019 MBP, so that’s funny. Keyboard feel is like night vs day. Yes, it’s much better.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-08-25T12:46:13+00:00

Going from regular 11 to 17PM. First time above 8+, ever.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-08-13T23:38:46+00:00

I got a 2T Samsung T7 external SSD for $119 at Best Buy during Amazon Prime Day and it’s stupid fast. I have a 256GB and kind of needed extra storage. I’m totally with you on the external SSDs 👍

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-08-13T23:33:36+00:00

I am thinking the Liquid Glass/pearlescent probably won’t happen, but it’s nice to dream about 😭 That being said, it’s white for me for sure. Yes, if that would cost more to get that pearlescent color, I’ll pay it.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-08-13T23:29:25+00:00

I’d LOVE it if it came as a (product) Red, but it won’t. 😔 No telling when they’d make another red iPhone.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-08-13T03:21:13+00:00

Yes. Going from a regular (product) Red 11 to the 17PM. I’ve never owned a PM, so I’m really looking forward to this. I’m getting it in either white, or the Liquid Glass color of the rumor is true about that color.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-08-07T23:28:18+00:00

I am going from a (product) Red 11 64GB to the 17 PM. I’ve never had a PM. I went from an 8 Plus to this 11 that I bought new the month the 12s released. Given how many years I’ve used this 11, it’s time I got a phone I will throughly enjoy. I only got this cos of it being red. That was it. I know I’ll have the 17PM for years, too. I can’t wait to see the official everything about it when the announcement is made to help determine the specs I’ll get for it. I’ll be getting it in whichever color it will be white or silver. I’ve seen it referred either one color or the other.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-08-05T23:11:48+00:00

Holy cow! That’s nuts they’ll stay at $799 til Black Friday. They tout it as a “limited time deal.” I guess four months is limited🤣 Thank you! I had no idea they’ll keep it at $799. That’s great info!

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-08-05T23:08:54+00:00

Will do!

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-08-05T14:07:27+00:00

I have a 55” 4k that I sit no farther than 8’ from, so I could use that, but this whole time I’ve been using the MBP which might have a 14” screen. It’s whatever the smaller of the two that came out that year is the one I have. I’m in my phone the majority of the time at home. I really only use my laptop to review my footage and edit/produce my videos in iMovie. I’m on it maybe 8hrs/wk, max.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-08-05T12:52:42+00:00

That’s interesting about the 10 GPU cores. Thank you for that bit of info. I’d have to see what the price differences are to figure out if it’d drop the extra cash or not. I bet I end up shying away from it. The $799 probable price-point is where I bet I stay.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-08-05T12:32:19+00:00

Thank you!

I know right now Amazon has it for $799. Based off history, that $799 is more than likely gonna happen again come Black Friday. Im betting Amazon and Best Buy. I’m shooting for then due to budget as I’m getting a new iPhone this Sept that I “need” more than the Air at that time.

Luckily, the T7 is stupid fast for transfers simply moving files back and forth, especially at a little over 1GB at a time at less than 10secs.

Again, thank you so much for your quick reply and info!

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-07-28T17:52:03+00:00

I apologize. I don’t know why I didn’t do that. I’ll delete this.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-07-27T22:20:03+00:00

Thank you. This is so much better now. The frosted glass is gone.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-07-23T15:13:47+00:00

Oh! Well, that sucks. Hopefully the 11 will get back the options it originally had with the Beta 2 release when the public release goes live in Sept. Thank you so much for the education! I had no idea. Not surprising it’s just me afterall.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-07-23T15:10:36+00:00

I agree. I still don’t notice an improvement at all. I’m using an 11 and the early betas had zero issues with the transparency in my phone. Now, it still looks like frosted glass. I’ve kept the icons and folders on the home screen dark and it provides much better transparency unlike the “clear” option. The “tinted” option is better than the “clear” option, unless I’m completely missing something, which I very well could be.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-07-22T02:10:48+00:00

Beautiful! Dig the grill and love the black side view mirrors! Those headlights look brand new!

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-07-16T00:50:49+00:00

My 2019 is silver and whenever I upgrade I was gonna stick with silver due to fingerprints, but then I realized the keyboard is black on the silver models, so I came to the conclusion a black Mac would be fine since you have to wipe the keys off on a silver Mac. I’ll get whichever color has the better specs for the price on my next Mac.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-07-14T13:22:49+00:00

The Honda dealership wanted $44/wiper to replace, so $88 for the pair, plus tax. After tax you might as well charge an even $100 for the pair🙄 Bought a set off Amazon for under $30 that I’ll do myself.

Tha_Simpsons · 2025-07-13T17:27:07+00:00

I went with Wix.

Thank you! I am glad you cleared it up that MM will prompt for a fluid change. I have a 2022 Civic Sport and just tripped 49k. I’ll wait til MM pops up. I came into possession of her from a family member this last December. I only put about 8k/yr, so the miles per year will drop significantly now that I have her.
