Hey everyone, I’m thinking about switching from my iPhone 13 Pro 256GB to the iPhone Air and would really appreciate honest feedback from people who’ve used it for around 6 months or more. My battery is at 84% and it’s starting to annoy me a bit. It’s also my only Lightning device, while everything else I use is already USB C, so it’s getting pretty inconvenient.I’m a mid user mostly YouTube, messaging, browsing, Maps, CarPlay, and some photos. No gaming. The camera only really matters on trips or at concerts a few times a year.I also see offers around 4000 PLN (about $1100) for the 512 GB version, which seems pretty solid in my country and kind of future proof for my usage. iPhone 17 Pro feels like overkill for me and I also don’t really like the design, and the regular 17 doesn’t fully convince me either (8 GB RAM, and I get the impression the display might be worse than my 14 Pro), so the Air looks like a sweet spot my main question is battery life compared to Pro models, and whether the single camera becomes limiting in real use or if it’s basically fine long term.

Hey everyone,

I found an Apple Certified Refurbished CPO MacBook Pro with M2 Pro 32GB RAM and 8TB SSD for about 7000 PLN which is around $1750 or €1630 from Apple retail sho and I’m seriously considering it, on paper it looks like a very strong deal and that 8TB storage is a great bonus for me, I had experience with MacBooks with 8GB RAM and it was definitley not enough for my usage, even 16GB I managed to max out so 32GB feels much safer, I’m also fully aware of how expensive 32GB MacBooks usually are and how absurd the 8TB upgrade pricing is, and the funny part is this exact config was over 30K PLN just about three years ago, at the same time M5 is already out now and it obviously brings better performance and newer features so I’m wondering how big the real world difference actually is between M2 Pro and M5, is it something you clearly feel in daily use or more benchmark level gains, how long do you think M2 Pro will realistically still get macOS updates and support, are there any major downsides compared to newer models like battery life thermals display or efficiency, and what about reliability of Apple Certified Refurbished units long term did anyone have bad experiance with them, would you go for a maxed older config like this or aim for something newer but with less RAM and storage?
