Apple Pencil

Let's get one thing clear alright I like Apple I really do but this whole Apple Pencil thing is making it hard for me to take the company seriously. I like the concept but they are a while behind, Having a devices that has to be changed after 8 hours of use  for something like that is a bit odd, It's a pencil! why should it need to be charged?! Another thing is did you see the way it get's charged, you plug it into the bottom of the iPad Pro! It freaking sticks out and could get snapped off accidentally. I think that right there is a bad design.

On top of all the bad design aspects of the Apple Pencil it comes in at $100 (USD) I'd personally recumbent getting the Apple care warranty just in case you snap the end off while charging it.

With this all being said will I be buying one? Not anytime soon. Not because I don't see a use for this in peoples lives because I can see this being a great tool for a student taking notes or for an art student but as far as i'm concerned I don't see myself finding any good uses for this device not to mention I don;t have an iPad Pro so it wouldn't really help me in that case anyway.

I hope you all enjoyed and are going to put some thought into this before purchasing the Apple Pencil.

[UPDATE ALERT] 10/31/15

Hello everyone, Marc here with an update on how things are going and the direction for this Blog and the newly formed YouTube channel. As those of you who follow me on the Facebook group probably know I have made a YouTube channel for Marc's Tech Talk and I have been trying to figure out what to put of it. I don't want to just be like every other tech reviewer and record me talking about the product then upload it to the channel because well you can watch a lot of other people do the same thing, I want to change the game. I want to use the channel to bring me Rants and Raves of the products that I write the articles about on my website. You don't see many people giving their HONEST opinions on what they think of the product so I would like to change that. 

As far as the website goes I will be trying my hardest to keep it updated with new articles every few days but it will be hard because I'm working 5 days a week right now and only have weekends off. I plan on making the Rants and Raves on the weekends so the channel isn't empty all the time. I have seen a lot of growth on the blog over the past few weeks viewership wise. More and more people are enjoying my articles and that pleases me. 

With all this being said Marc's Tech Talk is doing very well and I hope you all are enjoying the articles! Until the next update, Peace! 

A rumored surface phone??

With all the buzz over the release of the newest windows phone people are starting to ask the question “Is this phone the one to make or break the lumia line up?” With this question comes the return of the rumor of a surface phone. Now this rumor has been around for a while but has just made its appearance again in light of the release of Lumia’s newest smart phone.

I speak for myself when I say that I would love to see Microsoft put out a surface phone. I think that the style of the surface tablets has been a big success  over the years and with their newest Surface and the surface book I think if they released a surface phone that the chances of it doing well are in it’s favor.

I think one of the things it’s got going against it right now is the lack of apps in the app store. Not many developers have released applications that are compatible with the windows store.

Below are some photo’s of what the rumored phone would look like. As you can see it looks similar to the surface tablets in design and one can hope that the build quality would also match it’s tablet brethren.

Still, it’s nice to hear a Surface Phone remains a possibility for late 2016 materialization, right?

Apple Continuity, iPhone 7 Information

For all you IOS and Mac users out there you may be already aware of Apple's new & cool feature called Continuity but for those of you who own a Windows phone or perhaps an android phone so you may not know what this wonderful thing is. 
        Apple Continuity is "When you use a Mac or an iOS device, you’re able to do incredible things. And when you use them together, you can do so much more. Make and receive phone calls without picking up your iPhone. Start an email, edit a document, or surf the web on one device and pick up where you left off on another. Even activate your iPhone hotspot without taking your iPhone from your pocket or bag. [1]"

iPhone 7 Information 

That's right folks, another iPhone is on the horizon. Let's look to see what this one is bringing to the table with the iPhone 7. 

        Even though most analysts didn’t really have high hopes for the iPhone 6s, sales so far seem to continue their record-breaking trend for Apple. The company has once again surpassed expectations, and it’s hard to predict if things will slow down at any point. This particular factor has lead analysts to already begin discussing the iPhone 7, and today they share more predictions. 

        The latest batch of predictions considers that Apple’s iPhone 7 design will be the device’s major selling point. It seems that Apple is considering doing away with the home button, as i've heard in some interesting reports. 

Whatever the case may be we’re still a full year away from the iPhone 7, so stay tuned for more rumors.
