iPhone Battery MAH List for Every Model

This is a really interesting read to see how battery capacity goes between different sizes and models.

Reminds me that I always need to go for the largest phone to get the best battery life.

Spring Twitter app

I know some folks have been raving about this app on their iPhones and iPads, but I’m here to say it works wonderfully well on meh M1 Mac using VoiceOver as well.

Think I’ll start using it on my iPhone.

Why I like using both my Mac and my iPhone

Common default apps between iOS and Mac OS - 

App Store, Books, Calculator, Calendar, Clock, Contacts, FaceTime, Find My, Home, Mail, Maps, Messages, Music, News, Notes, podcast, Reminders, Safari, Siri, Stocks, Shortcuts, TV, Voice Memo, and Weather.

AirDrop

AirDrop makes things a lot easier when researching as I can just share articles from my Mac to iPhone or the other way around of course.

Hand Off

Being able to pick something up on another device say writing an email between iOS and Mac.

Spell Checking

No matter where I am, I’m always getting spelling checked by the system.

Talking Clock

All builtin and ready to go to tell you the time on the hour, quarter, half or 3 quarter hour.

Preview

Excellent for quickly listening to an audio file without having to open it up.

Media Commands all the same between Mac and iOS

F7 prev, F8 Play/Pause, F9 next, F10 Mute, F11 Vol/down, and F12 VolUp.

Siri

Yep, on all Apple Products including the Mac.

VoiceOver much the same Across OS’s

Similar Bluetooth Keyboard and gestures across Mac and iOS.

Using the Trackpad on my MacBook is great for quickly flicking through lists such as on Twitter.
