(Part 2) Best products from r/ios

You would likely need some sort of audio interface, such as this, and then an app like Garage Band could work. I do agree with the other guy as to why you would want to do this?

If third parties can Mac USB type c adapters like this, Apple can make one with two lighting ports.

I have this one and it has worked pretty flawlessly for me: Canon MG6821 Wireless All-In-One Printer with Scanner and Copier: Mobile and Tablet Printing with Airprint and Google Cloud Print compatible https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013C0ZBG2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_yDHuyb7NN2NP7

Well you can use something like this or a myriad of the other lightning adapters, or over wifi.

There are many sites where you can download apps from, or you can use cydia impactor with any .ipa file.

Just in case I do recommend external BT module https://www.amazon.co.uk/iogear-GBU521W6-Bluetooth-Adapter-Warranty/dp/B007ZT2AXE/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413923896&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=opgear+gbu521

Screen protector: no. never. worthless.

Case: sure. I had the apple leather case for a while and loved it - only negative (for me) was that the bottom was open/exposed. Right now I'm rocking this case, and it's great: http://amzn.com/B00QLCCRN4

Oh yeah, they are not $150! Nextbit Robin is even $130 and scores just one point less than an iPhone 6S!

use some touchscreen friendly gloves, not large ones but the thin type. At least to give your thumbs a rest.

Well, using something like Nord is typically a different use-case. Using a VPN like Nord, Proton, or PIA is mostly for privacy and security from snooping hackers, companies or governments.

A PiHole can block a lot of tracking stuff, but you have to know what domains do that. There are lists that you can add to accomplish this easily.

PiHole isn’t difficult if you are willing to sit and learn Linux for an hour or two. Do you know basics of how DNS works? And how computer networking works? If not, that may add time, complication, and potentially frustration into the mix.

First you should buy a Raspberry Pi kit (from amazon or wherever you choose). Get a reliable microSD card over 16GB.

Some of the kits have a pre-imaged SD card that will walk you through installing the OS and getting it booted up.

I personally use this.

here you go!

I purchased this Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller and it worked with my iPhone.

It's the UAG Folio iPad Pro 9.7-inch

There are actually quite a few - a simple google search will deliver.

Here is one example

Edit: Another one with 3 meter cable as requested

A non-electronic controller is less than ten dollars. Other than lubing your screen with popcorn topping I'm not sure what to suggest.

  But you really should get a handle on programming in general before you start. Objective C (the language used to make iOS apps) is not the easiest to learn. Perhaps try writing some programs in python?

Go and buy a standard clock-radio alarm like this one.

They all use the same internal module, and the snooze function is always the same : 9 minutes. I don't know why, but it is. It probably dates back to when the first models were developed. Perhaps there's a technical reason that we don't know about.

So that's what we have all become accustomed to. And Apple followed the established norm. If they had made it a different value people would be outraged.

So don't blame Apple. Blame the engineer who chose a 9 minute snooze function all those years ago.
