  • Will updating my iPhone apps affect my phone speed as how updating the Operating System (OS) will? Currently I'm using the iPhone 5s on iOS 8.3 I know if I were to update my phone to the latest OS I may notice some slowdown on my phone's performance, since it may not have the "muscle" to handle certain functions. Many apps now are optimised for iOS 9 and/or the 6th generation phones. Will my 5s' speed performance slow down if I update my apps? Will the app's performance slow down?
  • What does maximum operating altitude mean? Because I read on apple.com that she maximum operating altitude for a MacBook Pro and iPhones, etc was 10, 000 ft. How do people still use them in planes?
  • Missing operating System on laptop? I have a Acer 7560 Laptop and I reseted my hard drive (like deleted everything) because it was so slow and some guy put a lot of programs when I wanted it fixed so it was useless. I thought it was going to be like the iPhone when you start all over but now when I turn it on all it says is "missing operating system" and I don't have a recovery disk or usb! So it's stuck like that. Can I buy a disk or usb online if so what type or do I need to take it to someone.
  • Mac vs PC operating systems? I don't want to buy an Apple computer for iPhone development if I don't have to, but could I get the Mac operating systems on my computer? Dell XPS L501X Laptop It has Windows 7 on it already. I have researched that only some computers can have both Windows and Mac. I really don't understand operating systems all that much except how to use them for what I do.
