To Strap or Not to Strap: That is the iPhone Question
I've been taking photos all my life with cameras that cost thousands of dollars, and I've always used a strap to secure them. The iPhone 17 Pro Max starts at $1,199 USD—the same as a professional camera body. Yet most people rely only on their grip to keep it safe. I apply the same philosophy to my iPhone as my cameras. After all, it's the camera I have with me all the time.

Celebrating 10 Years of Digiguys Apps
Ten years ago, while editing photos on my iPad at a Caribbean beach, I realized Apple Photos didn't have the features I wanted as a photographer. That moment sparked a journey that would grow from one simple app to 16 apps used by photographers in Sydney, designers in Arizona, painters in Oregon, and teachers in classrooms worldwide. Today, we celebrate not just apps, but a community that has turned moments into art. Thank you for being part of the Digiguys story.
