Apple dropped many jaws with their biggest news: the tech giant is set to release their latest most-powerful-ever Mac Pro. The only catch is… it will cost $6,000! The new Mac Pro markets to professionals requiring extreme processing capabilities for things like video editing, audio processing, and graphics manipulation. Featuring 1.5 terabytes of memory and 1.4 kW of power supply, this device requires us to scrap out our dusty high school unit measurement tables. This bad boy also can edit photos at 6 BILLION pixels per second -- that’s some serious horsepower. The new Mac Pro will also include a feature called the Project Catalyst, allowing for iOS apps to run on the device. Although this monster of a desktop has inventive robust features, it may need to tone down a few notches to expand their market.
Remember filling up the iTunes library with ripped CD files to be transferred to and played on your iPod or MP3 player? Those were the simple days. The highly rumored speculation has now been confirmed: iTunes will officially be terminated this Fall. Not to worry, though -- the veteran desktop music manager will be replaced by three different apps which are already familiar to iPhone and iPad users: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple TV. These apps will be updated to stand alone with the new macOS Catalina. Through the newly updated apps, all previously downloaded music and movies from iTunes will transfer, so all of those hours honing and ripping files won’t have been in vain. R.I.P. iTunes -- but we’re excited for what’s to come with the new standalone apps!
Every year at the Conference, Apple releases a new beta version of the upcoming iOS for testing to the developer community. This year iOS 13 was unveiled. Take note, iPhone users! The new update will feature app upgrades and a trendy dark mode which redesigns the layout with a dark, sleek, background. Siri has also been upgraded and improved with a more natural voice and more capabilities. Watch out -- she’s becoming more and more lifelike. And lastly, face recognition is going to react 30% faster, allowing you to open up your phone much swifter than ever.
Along with app updates, App has many new features set to release to their devices. Our favorites are the expansion of Find My iPhone, iPad’s new OS, and Sidecar, the new feature for iPads.
The new expansion of Find My iPhone will be called Find My available for iOS and Mac. This expanded app will allow the user to find their device even when it’s sleeping or offline off via Bluetooth signal. We’re excited for this feature since, as we all know, the easiest way to lose your device is when it’s silent.
iPad is set to release a new operating system, iPad OS. Here at GroovyTek, we’re excited about this release as the new OS will operate more closely to a desktop computer. The premise of iPad OS is to create a smoother and easier-to-navigate system. Typing should be easier as the keyboard screen has flexibility, two screens can be displayed at the same time, and scrolling will supposedly become more intuitive.
Most of the updates and releases are set to be available to the public in the fall of 2019. That gives us some time to prepare and wrap our heads around these changes! Here at GroovyTek, we're excited for the new Apple updates. We believe some of these features are mindful at creating user-friendly experiences. But as always, as the updates release, we’re here to help with any technology questions and assistance!

GroovyTek has helped me, a 65 year old, learn how to do all sorts of things on my computer that I did not know about before. I had no one else to ask, and they have rescued me. It's so great to have a polite, friendly, knowledgeable person come to my house and teach me. What a wonderful service!
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 have been very pleased with the IT trainers from GroovyTek who have been to my house. They were very helpful!
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!
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.
I'm very pleased with my session today with GroovyTek. My trainer was able to fix both my computer and my printer (problems with both) and instructed me on how to correct the issues if they occurred in the future. We also made plans for my next session. I find GroovyTek sessions extremely helpful and convenient since they are in my home.
A wonderful service in every aspect from calling in to set up an appointment with GroovyTek and follow ups as well as the fabulous help, patience and expertise of the tech who came to the house to work with me with my computer issues. I would highly recommend GrooveyTek for all your computer needs! Thanks so much!
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.
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.
I had a session with GroovyTek over the phone today. It was extremely helpful to me because I was able to see everything that he was doing on my computer as he was talking. I was then able to follow his actions to do what he was doing as well. What a way to go!
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.
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!
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.
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.
