So I’m sitting here at work waiting for my computer to get setup and finally getting my access to the network. I brought by 2018 Apple iPad Pro with me today to watch some videos and do some light reading. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my computer setup and my photography setup. I have the 2 terabyte backup plan with Apple. I’ve had it for several months now. I think I’m currently using about 270GB worth of data. Most of that is my photography backup. I am really happy with the Apple ecosystem. How simple and easy it is to access pretty much everything.
My current photography setup consists of a Sony RX100 Mark VII, a Canon Vixia HF R80 camcorder and an Apple iPhone 8 Plus. My contract with Freedom Mobile is almost up. Actually May 2020, I’ll be free of Freedom Mobile. I am not entirely happy with Freedom Mobile. Their network coverage is absolute garbage. I could be right down town here in Ottawa and be on some other company’ network or I could have 1 or 2 bars. The reception is absolutely horrible. I honestly don’t like Bell or Rogers. They’re overpriced and their customer service is atrocious. Mind you Rogers’ network is pretty good. They’ve had to up their game with the amount of data they give to customers having gone from 4GB a month to 10GB a month. They are about $20 more expensive a month.
What I’m trying to say is that I’m looking into the idea of just using my 2018 Apple iPad Pro and the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max (256GB) model to do all of my photography and all of my computing needs. I don’t use Photoshop or Lightroom on my iPad Pro. Just use Pixelmator Photo on my iPad Pro to edit all of my photography. I could use the iPhone as well to shoot all of my footage. The iPhone has excellent video quality and it takes excellent photos. All of this with a phone. All my stuff would be backed up to the cloud and be accessible via WiFi with my Apple iPad Pro. Something definitely to look into.
