  Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 29/03/2017

  » Despite several sure-fire rumours, there was no special event in March. Instead, there was a hint of change when the online stores went down for maintenance on Tuesday evening. A number of additions and changes were made to iPhones and iPads, while new Apple Watch bands were also announced. Apple updated its Swift Playgrounds app with new languages and announced Clips, a new iOS app for making videos: perfect for sharing on social-networking sites. It will be released in April.

  » Apple announced its US$159 (5,700 baht) AirPods at the same time as the iPhone 7, but the Bluetooth-connected device was not made available to customers until last week. There was much online speculation that a problem was found in the production models, so the release was put back. It would have been wrong to release a device with a known problem for a number of obvious reasons.

  » The iPhone 7 will be on sale in Thailand on Friday and I checked prices on some online sites. Dtac was hiding its information behind passwords: only for those who had pre-ordered.

  » I am rather keen on photography but I only consider myself an enthusiast. Output quality is important for me: whether for social networking, my own website, or images I send to the Bangkok Post. I sometimes try to steer users away from Adobe Photoshop, not because there is anything wrong with it (apart from pricing), but that the power of that application is totally wasted for most users, especially if their pictures are just being uploaded to Facebook.

I spent all that day and part of Thursday catching up. Apps were being updated too, taking advantage of some of the new features. On Thursday, I was still finding out what was new and where some features had been hidden.

  Error 53, Polarr and more

  Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 17/02/2016

  » Following the Error 53 problem for iPhone users with unauthorised home button replacements, several sites reported a problem for the iPhone if the date is reset to Jan 1, 1970 (depending on timezone), although why anyone would want to do that is beyond me. Do not try this at home.
