Macro Mode
iPhone photography
I bought an iPhone 15 Pro. One reason is Apple Intelligence. Even though I live in Germany and it might take a while, I hope we get it sometime in early 2025 and I want to be ready to test it. The iPhone 15 is not capable of handling AI.
Another reason was the camera. The iPhone 15's camera is great, but I wanted the macro mode. I don't care that much about the zoom, but the macro mode is what attracted me to the iPhone 14 Pro. I'll try to show some of the macro mode pictures here. Maybe I'm trying to be a bit artistic, so please excuse some blurry or out of focus images.
iPad Update
I am still an iPad person
Well even if my iPad Pro M1 12.9” was still good and fast enough for my work, I decided to upgrade to the new OLED iPad Pro M4. And I love it!
This time I decided to downgrade and bought the 11” including the new Magic Keyboard in silver and white. I wanted a more portable iPad and the 11” is a perfect size. Now I have a ultra portable computer and while I was buying new stuff I found a great price for the Samsung ViewFinity S8 27” 4K monitor and got that one for my home office as well. So if I need more screen real estate I can hook up the iPad to the display. I might get a new Keyboard and Trackpad from Apple, but I guess I wait until they are USB-C…
Overall I am super happy with the new iPad and it is still my daily driver.
Cool app
This is for everyone who loves retro computers
From the website: Retrospecs lets you convert images and videos so they appear as they would on a variety of home computers and consoles from the 70's, 80's and 90's. It's part image filter app, part tribute to the sort of computers I lusted after whilst pouring over copies of Byte magazine as a lad…

Solid Apps
I am reading a lot on Medium about AI, Apple, iPad, Mac and productivity tools. In an article about some productivity tools I stumbled over an app called Solid Calendar.

I am an iPad user
My iPad Pro 12.9” M1 replaced my Mac
Years ago I started using an iPad Pro 10.5” with a Folio keyboard for my daily work. Even though I had some issues in getting used to the iPad way, I knew this would be the right path.
A great tool to upscale
Looking for a free to upscale?
I know one of the latest updates to Midjourney includes upscale (again). You can choose 2x or 4x and the results are good. I still download the image and use Upscaly for the job. It is a free, but super poweful tool.
