Iowans

Now that the corn is as high as an elephant's eye, it's time to talk about something important. People in Iowa are hard working. They aren't looking for gimmicks or fast sales pitches. Yesterday, a customer thanked me for our customer referral program but said "that's not why I'll send people to you." I asked her why. She replied "I'll send them because I like to refer my friends to good people and you are." Thank you.

upgrading your iPhone 6 to the new iOS 8.4 is NOT a given

We've had several customers in the store holding their iPhone 6 that, at this point, is nothing more than an expensive coaster.  (technical term is "bricking the phone")   Why?  They tried upgrading to the new iOS version 8.4 and it totally ruined their phone.  I don't mean quirky things like battery power or slowness.  I mean the phone is completely shut down and won't take a charge.

Here's an article about some of the more common problems with the new software upgrade:

It's always nice to have the most recent iOS running on your phone so you can get all the patches put in since the last version but my recommendation is to WAIT until 8.4.1 comes out.  There isn't much benefit in 8.4 vs. 8.3 and LOTS of disadvantages and risks.

The new MacBook OS is also a piece of junk (which is why I won't upgrade my personal MacBook to it).  Oh, and the new iTunes is crap too as Apple is wanting to push their new music store and making the old iTunes not work.

I see a trend here.  Apple has become the new MicroSoft.  Now we need a company to come along and operate like Apple use to.

Digital Doc Des Moines will be open July 4!

The holidays are a great time for family and fun.  It is also a time for junior to jump in the water with his cell phone in his pocket.  For just those times, Digital Doc will remain open on the 4th.  Don't let a broken phone get in the way of a great weekend - get your phone fixed at Digital Doc!
