Well, I don’t change my homescreen often enough to warrant a monthly post, but I think changing it every time I upgrade my iPhone is more reasonable.
I went with the iPhone 6S Plus in White/Silver. Going from the iPhone 5, this size has taken some getting used to, but I’ve really come to enjoy it!
The battery life alone really makes it a win for me. We recently went to Minneapolis for an extended weekend. On one of the days, we headed out around 1100 to explore the city on bikes and foot. I left with only 56% battery. After a day of navigating with Google Maps, searching for places to eat, taking photos, etc, the battery was still at 19%.
Apps:
- Tweetbot 4 - the best Twitter client. Especially with the latest update and a nice landscape view on the Plus.
- Fantastical - my favourite calendar app. I also use it for reminders.
- Day One - I keep track of my life here. Lately I’ve been using it as my own personal Instagram.
- Fresh Air - my latest favourite weather app. There’s a free ad-supported version.
- Instagram - Pictures. Follow me @josiahwiebe if you’re curious what I’m up to.
- 1Password - I use this every day. All of my web passwords are randomly generated, so I use the 1P extension all the time. It’s nice to see more and more apps starting to use it. Royal Bank, you need to get on this stat!
- App Store
- Dropbox - I store my life here.
- VSCOCam - for cleaning up photos a bit.
- Editorial - for writing/scripting. I wrote this post here.
- Simplenote - I’ve just switched back to Simplenote and am loving it again (previously Vesper).
- Trello - used for work, organising tasks and whatnot.
- Photos
- Music
- Settings
- Messages
- Mailbox - Dropbox’s mail client. Works pretty well, but doesn’t support my Fastmail account :(
- Safari
- Slack - my favourite and most used app. For team communication.
