Episode notes
Apple Gear Preferences
- Kerry Provenzano primarily uses a 27-inch iMac (2019) for work, relying on Stephen Hackett's recommendations for specs.
- Her iPad Pro and mini have become somewhat redundant since acquiring an M1 MacBook Air (2020), due to similar gestures and performance.
iPhone Size Journey
- Kerry initially struggled with larger iPhones, finding the gestures difficult for smaller hands and disliking the "shimmying" motion.
- However, iOS updates improved gestures, and now she prefers the Pro Max, finding smaller iPhones impractical after adjusting.
Sleep Tracking Recommendation
- Try sleep tracking with an Apple Watch and a dedicated app like Sleep++ for valuable insights into sleep quality.
- The recovery score in Sleep++ considers sleep and activity data, providing personalized readiness assessments.
