I’ve been struggling with my old iPhone for some time now and I’ve resisted going to a “4” for the better part of a year as it was clear a new model was coming. It’s not a “5” since Apple went the same route as they did with the 3G (adding an “S” edition) but […]

The Big Tour, continued (and concluded)
