Stuff that works :: iPhone 7 Plus, Logitech K780, PLT BackBeat Pro 2
by Volker Weber
There is a lot of hardware coming and going at vowe's magic flying circus. There is stuff that works, there is stuff that doesn't. And then there is stuff that gets used. Every. Single. Day.
- It's kind of boring to even mention it. But Apple iPhone 7 Plus just kills it. Like the previous three models: 5S, 6 Plus, 6S Plus. When you have one of those, you may be tempted by other phones. Like I was by the Samsung S6 edge. In the end, you just keep using the iPhone. The 7 Plus gave me the telephoto lens that I needed the Olloclip ActiveLens for. Never missed the headphone jack. Still need the Silicone Case in Midnight Blue or Cocoa. Or Product(RED).
- The iPad Pro sits on a Logitech Base where it is being charged and displays the Fliqlo clock. Which I also use as a "screensaver" on Mac. When I type longer texts, I drop it on the K780 keyboard. Ever since I had it, it never left my table. It's both pretty and functional. I use the same keyboard for iPhone and BlackBerry. For traveling, I use another Logitech product: Create is an excellent folio keyboard that protects the iPad Pro and also stores the pen.
- I have only had the Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 for two weeks, but I have used it every single day. I find it very comfortable and I love the sound. Battery life is outstanding. As is the range. So far I have not discovered anything that would bother me. It's an overall improvement over the previous BackBeat Pro.
Hidden in that list are two more products that works for me every single day: iPad Pro 9.7 and Apple Pencil. :-)

Well. At least when you *have* an iPhone 7 plus.
Mine's been on back order for two months now. :-(

What? I see them listed at 2-3 weeks.

On my iPhone 7 plus: no case at the moment.
With case it is more difficult to activate the gestures from the left side.
