Question I bought a new MacBook Air, but it doesn’t have enough storage and says I need to delete my “iOS backup” to move data from my 10 year old MacBook Pro to the new model. Is it safe to do I sincerely wish I had just bought something with a larger storage capacity now. — Carol Green
We are committed to organizing them, but we always keep them on our long fingers. You have to keep getting bigger storage memory versions of new devices so that you can move from the old without having to decide if you want to. do them. Digital hoarding by default. Most of us are guilty to some degree.
That said, I do have one or two specific comments about your situation. First, with Apple products, deleting a file (such as an important photo or video) from one device (iPhone, iPad, or MacBook) can erase the file from all devices. This shouldn’t happen, but Apple’s iCloud guidance can be vague and vague. The relationship between iCloud backups and device storage is often unclear. In the case you outlined, which seems to deal primarily with iPhone or iPad device backups, that should be fine. , and other files) and back them up appropriately to an external storage device (such as a hard drive). (which will cost around €50) or a dedicated online storage facility (you’ll probably have to pay a monthly fee). Obviously, for photos, the alternative long-term solution is to print some of them.
Then delete the backup, knowing that it surrounds the core’s memory and files, it would be really upsetting to lose it.
question
My son is turning 18 in a few weeks and wants a digital camera. He is now taking pictures with his old iPhone. The two shops I visited recommended the Canon EOS 2000D as an easy-to-use and excellent entry-level camera. What do you think?

It gives decent results, but it’s not mirrorless, so it’s almost an outdated old model. This type of system has been completely superseded by mirrorless models that are easier to use (just like a phone, with pictures as a result) and are getting better and better. I’m here.
In a nutshell, no new intermediate or professional camera is built like the EOS 2000D. Almost everything is mirrorless now. If possible, I’d recommend getting something like Panasonic’s Lumix G80 (659 euros from Conns Cameras with a 12-60mm lens). About €100 more than the Canon 2000D, but well worth the quality and lens upgrade. When you shop at a camera shop in the city center (such as Conns), you’ll get better service and knowledge than any major retailer.
recommendation: Panasonic Lumix G80 (€659 from Conns Camera)

iPhone 14 Plus
€1,179 from retailers
This is the first time Apple has created a “regular” iPhone model with a very large screen rather than a “Pro” device. Aside from the easy-to-read 6.7-inch display, the advantage is the best battery life on the market. By the time I go to bed, the battery is usually almost half full. That said, it’s still very expensive.
google pixel 7
From Google Store for €649
If you’re looking for a near-best sub-flagship smartphone, Google’s Pixel 7 might be for you. The quality and features for the price surpass almost everything else on the market. Most people can probably live without it.
