I did not upgrade last year. I had jumped from the iPhone 6s Plus to the iPhone 7Plus because of the major upgrades to the camera. I had jumped from the original Apple Watch to the Series 2 because I wanted to swim with my watch, but I did not upgrade last year. The iPhone X looked amazing, but I wanted the longer battery life that the Plus size offered, and I did not upgrade last year.

I saw the iPhone Xs Max at the launch event, and knew I had to have it. It has not disappointed in the mere 12 hours that I’ve been using it. The screen is amazing! The biggest surprise to me is that the it is actually slightly smaller than my iPhone 7Plus, and as such fits even better in my the pocket.

I won’t bore you on all the technical details, there are plenty of really good blogs and reviews on that. What I hope to do is post a few more entries on the surprises that I have using this new device.

The upgrade I have been really excited about is the Watch Series 4. I am looking forward to the idea of the ECG/EKG sensor. It doesn’t appear to be enabled yet, but the screen size and clarity is greatly improved. The upgrade to this new watch has allowed me to relegate my Series 0 watch for sale. And my Series 2 to now be my sleep monitor. The one function that is missing – no camera, so my prediction of the Series 4 being the new Dick Tracey watch, is not coming true. Oh well, there’s always the Series 6 🙂
