Spring into a new iPhone or iPad

As predicted, Apple released the newest iPhone today. iPhone SE has a smaller 4” display, but with the features of an iPhone 6, starting at only $399. It’s their most powerful 4-inch phone ever! Also announced, a 9.7” inch iPad Pro — the same screen size as the original iPad. But this iPad is packed with all the pro features that the iPad Pro 12” has: Apple Pencil and Apple Smart Keyboard support, four-speaker “pro” audio system that adjusts sound depending on viewing orientation, and more. And for you power users, you can now get an iPad with 256GB of storage. Nice!

MACximize is excited about Apple iOS 9.3 released today for all iPhones and iPads. One of the more interesting features of iOS 9.3 is called Night Shift, which changes the color temperature of the display based on the time and location of your device for reduced eye strain. Exposure to bright blue light in the evening can make it harder to sleep, so you can schedule Night Shift to turn on in the evenings.

Also, Apple released 10.11.4 for Macs which includes improvements such as: in Notes – the ability to passcode-protect notes containing personal data, as well as enhancements to Live Photos & iBooks, and more.

There are more new features than can be mentioned in this blast. But now is a great time to call MACximize. Wait no longer; call 212.330.6789 and schedule an appointment.

Guess What? You’re Protected!

For years, Windows users have been plagued by ransomware demanding several hundred dollars to unlock their computers. There have even been some high-profile attacks, as with the ransomware that shut down servers in an L.A. hospital last month. The hospital eventually paid a ransom equivalent to $17,000 in bitcoins to get its systems back up-and-running.

But if you have had MACximize come to your home or office in the last several months YOU’RE PROTECTED!

That’s right, the updates that we have provided to you on your Mac make it so that no one can install the infected application.

MACximize also suggests having several backups to ensure that in the event of catastrophic loss you can retrieve your lost files.

So if you have been putting off seeing MACximize, wait no longer! Give us a call @ 212.330.6789 and schedule an appointment. We can see you in person or REMOTELY. It does not matter where your are, as long as you are connected to the Internet, we can service your Macs, iPhones & iPads.

Finally, on March 21st, Apple is making some announcements. We believe a smaller iPhone will be announced — the size of the old iPhone 5S. Also rumored: new iPads. So if you’ve been waiting for these, give us a call. We’ll help you properly get all your information onto these new devices.
