iPhone 13 Pro photo by Jon Westfall
Jon Westfall is back from his holiday travels. Thanks to Paul Lawler and Ryan Ozawa for co-hosting the past two podcasts (the last two of 2021)! In this first MobileViews Podcast of 2022, Jon and I discuss:
- Jon was continues to be very impressed by the iPhone 13 Pro’s low light photo capabilities (see example photo)
- BlackBerry will die on January 4th — for real this time
- Apple wants to remind us how easy it is to use their products to save your life. Not your typical Apple Ad. Makes you wonder: Does this make LTE AW just make sense?
- Jon made it for 10 days with just his iPhone and iPad Mini – no laptop / no iPad Pro.
- Apple Dual charger is great, just expensive, for travel.
- Oura ring records more sleep tracking data than AW, so ditch the AW on nights I don’t need an alarm. But when you need an alarm, AW is so much nicer than the iPhone blaring at you (A friend disagrees).
- VNC & VPS’s are a nice thing to have in the back pocket when you are visiting people and don’t want to drag out a laptop / bigger iPad. Manage most of the world through your iPhone. – Screens 4 for iOS
- Apple MagSafe charging pack came in handy a few times for top-offs, but way too small of a capacity.
Almost convinced that I have the perfect travel bag – the eBags Pro Slim Weekender - If you’re a Swiss Army knife kinda person, definitely get their TapForms. Reminder that this is about the closest you’ll come to MS Access on Mac/iPhone. Just wish it had some reporting functions or synchronization to an actual database backend. $50
