Our iPhone cameras are pretty amazing. The newer the phone, the more things you can do! Here are three features to try out before the holiday season. 1. Portrait Mode You can choose among natural light, contour light, studio light, stage light, stage light mono, and high-key light mono. You have to play around with the options to find the ones you like best. I think the stage light mono is the most dramatic.Here’s a hint for when you use stage light.

There I was…on a bus, halfway to Boston’s Logan Airport when I discovered I didn’t have my phone. Panic! I was going to be gone for two weeks and needed to communicate with people.

I opened the the app Find My and immediately located my iPhone.There it is was back home in Lisbon Falls, and there was me on I-95 approaching the Massachusetts border. Fortunately, a quick text to a friend and my phone was in the mail for two-day delivery. As you can see from the image above, the Find My app tells me where my current devices…

Yesterday at breakfast in a small cafe in Eastport, ME (the easternmost city in the continental U.S.) a gentleman at an adjacent table was fidgeting with his new smartphone while his tablemates were giving him all sorts of suggestions on how to make it work. Not wanting to intrude on their conversation but wanting to offer some help, I suggested that he watch a YouTube tutorial on his computer and learn how to use his new phone from the tutorial. If his new phone was an iPhone I would have suggested a number of resources that BoomerTECH Adventures have made for our friends and clients with a f…

Did you receive an email from Apple telling you that My Photo Stream will shut down July 26? The second part of the message said to use iCloud Photos from now on. Many of our clients did and wondered about the implications. Here are several FAQ and answers. What is My Photo Stream? My Photo Stream is a feature on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac that stores images you take with your devices. If I took photos with my iPhone, they naturally showed up in my iPhone Photos app. When my iPhone was on the same WiFi network as my iPad and Mac, they would also appear in the Photos apps on those devices.
