This is Numeric Citizen and you are listening to the thoughts and tribulations of a compulsive treater.

This is episode number three.

I’m excited but stressed.

I’ve been an Apple fan since the early 80s.

It all started when I was at high school and I was using an Apple 2 Plus and since then I’ve been an Apple fan, I’ve been following everything Apple did since then.

So I care very much about Apple, it takes a lot of my time in my life.

And this year I’m getting a new iPhone.

I’ll be upgrading from the iPhone 13 Pro to the 15 Pro Max.

This will be the first time I’m going to get the bigger one and eventually I’ll be writing an article about my experience of using the device and then I’ll share that.

It’s more like for the end of September or early October depending on the time I’ll spend on putting my thoughts and experience together.

But meanwhile, this week Apple is announcing these new models, the new iPhone 15 line and updated Apple Watch too.

And this is going to be a stressful week for someone like me because as you might know I’m a IT professional full-time so my hobby is not a full-time job.

So I need to find a way to strike a balance between professional life and my hobby and this is the core of the problem.

Because this week there’s a lot of news that will be shared online, there will be also many videos on YouTube where people will be sharing their impression of the Apple keynote about the latest iPhone and also they will be sharing their experience in the hands-on area at the Apple Park.

And this will be all very interesting to watch and to read and I’ll try to then have my own take of this, even write my thoughts and I’ll be sharing my thoughts on my blog eventually before maybe the end of the week or this coming weekend.

But I find it hard as a creator, as a writer to find the right amount of time to write those thoughts and to be relevant because I want to share something that is interesting to read, that has some thoughtful content but it takes time so I have to kind of strike a balance in that.

So yeah, that’s the main issue.

It will be a stressful week for sure but I’m very excited because I’m really looking forward for this newest iPhone generation.

I’m essentially upgrading to get a better battery life and also the updated camera subsystem and this is in this area where I want to share my thoughts about this new device and it will take time.

I won’t make a detailed comparison between the 13 Pro and the 15 Pro but I’ll certainly share my thoughts about the updated experience of the new devices in the upcoming weeks and I’ll be getting ready for that.

I’ll be creating my notes document in Craft so I can start to jot down my impression starting from this week and then I’ll eventually go on the Apple Store and see the device in person.

I’ll probably order the device the same day they go on sale so it should be on September 22.

So yeah, that’s the stress that I’m getting through this week but I’ll make it.

I’m sure that it will be worthwhile and yeah, so thank you.
