Dear GroovyTek team, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this very supportive and beneficial service you provide! I am so grateful!
Remember when you could set up a functional, no-frills rotary phone for under fifty dollars? Now, the price of the newest phones range from $999 to $1,099. Rotary phones were certainly cheaper, and simpler to use. Startlingly enough, Apple has recognized this price barrier to some extent.
In a highly anticipated conference on September 10, Apple’s announcements reflected the fact that most folks aren’t willing to spend that much money on a new iPhone. Apple’s revenue has been dropping, even though the iPhone has been their gadget of choice for the past twelve years. That means Apple is pursuing new streams of revenue, and for once, their newest iPhone model wasn’t the star of the show.
On September 10, Apple announced their newest models: the iPhone 11 Pro and the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Key user-friendly features that might make your life easier are: a battery life that lasts four to five hours longer than past models, 30% faster facial recognition, and three cameras that provide stunning image and video quality. They also come in four finishes: midnight green, space gray, silver, and gold. If you’re an iPad lover, Apple announced their seventh generation iPad with a 10.2-inch screen.
The biggest perk of the new iPhone models is their photo and video capabilities. With three cameras, both iPhone models are a photography powerhouse. There’s three camera options: Wide, Ultra Wide, and Telephoto. This lets you take great pictures, from action shots to low-light photos. If you’re into making your memories look even better, advanced video and photo editing tools are built into the iPhone. If you love taking action videos of your grandkids running across the beach, or your dog playing fetch, this iPhone also provides an immersive video experience.
However, the big conference news is that for once, the new iPhone models aren’t really news at all. Many critics and Apple fans aren’t hyped, and it’s easy to see why. The radical transformation between other iPhone models in the past didn’t happen. We chalk it up to the fact that the tech world is waiting for 5G to hit. Terms like 3G, 4G, and 5G all represent data processing speeds. Now, the smartphone world revolves around 4G. We anticipate that 5G will arrive in the near future. That means many phone providers don’t want to waste money creating new devices that will soon be obsolete. If you fondly remember huge developments between phone models, waiting for 5G is your best bet.
All this means that Apple’s established brand loyalty hasn’t been enough to give their new gadgets the pull they used to have. And Apple knows it. Since they want to double their revenue by 2021, which would equal 50 billion dollars, Apple had to take a different tack.
Are you a fan of streaming baseball games, nostalgic shows, or fun movies? The names that might come to mind are Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Disney+. Now, Apple has decided to step into the ring. With original, Apple-produced content, they plan to launch their own streaming platform on November 1 with some big-name actors. Jason Momoa, recent star of superhero blockbuster Aquaman, is in one of their new movies. Samuel L. Jackson and Anthony Mackie, of Marvel Cinematic Universe fame, feature as well. Oprah Winfrey, and an animated Snoopy cartoon, represent more of Apple’s big-name offerings. Apple’s reach is out of the ordinary, too. They’ve promised content that is subtitled or dubbed in nearly 40 languages, and is available in approximately 100 countries. If English is your second language, or you’re traveling, Apple has you covered!
However, if you love binge-watching—a phrase coined to describe watching episodes back-to-back—you may not be pleased. Some of Apple’s offerings will launch Netflix-style, with every episode in a season dropping at one time. Most, however, will launch with three episodes. Afterward, they will air one episode per week until the season is over. Also, since Apple is only offering original content, their streaming library is quite small. If you’re a Netflix fan, with hundreds of options at your fingertips, this isn’t very exciting. However, we chalk this up to Apple’s plan to compete with quality over quantity. Even though they only have a handful of shows, they plan to make them the best shows available. However, their currently limited scope is reflected in their pricing—$4.99 per month.
If you’re a fan of free trials, though, Apple knocks it out of the park. If you purchase one of their new models, you get a year-long free trial. After that, it’s $4.99 per month. If you have an old device, though, the free trial lasts one week.
Dear GroovyTek team, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this very supportive and beneficial service you provide! I am so grateful!
It is comforting to know if you have technical problems there is a Hands On source to get help. These trainers listen to your problems, find solutions and work with you until you understand the solution, their patience is outstanding. This is a great way to not only solve problems but to learn about the ever-changing world of technology; there are class presentations, small group gatherings or one-on-one in your home with kind, friendly, people.
My tech from GoovyTek has been terrific. He is patient, knowledgeable, and explains things really well. I enjoyed learning new tools and features on my smart phone and computer. They have made doing things a lot easier and more enjoyable.
Very pleased with the experience. Knowledgeable trainer who was most helpful. Highly recommend the service.
I have had two great sessions with GroovyTek and finally I have learned to use my smartphone calendar! I'm looking forward to my next session.
Outstanding trainers with expertise and a lot of patience at a fair price. I have used them for two years and they have given me a much better understanding of the in's and outs of how to use many aspects of my computer. It is a pleasure to have them come to my home and work on my own computer problems.
I think your service is great! I have used it, and I booked 2 sessions for my 83-year old husband who bought himself a new Ipad, but didn't know how to use it. He's been ill, so it was a great help that you came to the house. Thanks for the service.
Today was my first experience with GroovyTek and it was extraordinary. I learned so much over the course of the hour AND as importantly fixed the problem I was having. The trainer was intelligent and friendly. All support was given in a very collaborative way. I am looking forward to this partnership.
We have had several help sessions with a GroovyTek trainer. WE could not be more pleased. My trainer takes all our questions and while answering types up his answers so even after he leaves, we can refer to his notes. I would recommend GroovyTek to any of my friends or family without hesitation. BTW, ALL the employees at this firm are extrememly knowledgeable and friendly.
I had a serious issue with my bank website not being secure. This was a very technical problem. I used the Remote Session option to get help. My GroovyTek trainer kept at it until we finally resolved the issue.
Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.
GroovyTek did a great job! My trainer was on time, professional and she solved my slow computer. Great job, GroovyTek! I will use your services again.
Spectacular people. Knowledgeable, professional, customer focused and easy to work with. I have used their services a couple of times (because I am over 40) and they are great to work with.
My tech is patiently bringing me (at age 79) into the computer age. I am so glad that I found him through GroovyTek. What a wonderful gift!
I was just delighted and on my way to practice new found skills. My trainer was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient with this little old lady (age 78). I didn't have to take notes to remember - he recorded it on his tablet and sent me a copy to download so I have my instructions, step by step. So pleased with the service and the follow-up.
