Re: Dictation using the Macmini

There is, but it's not the same port you'd find on many other computers. It fits any standard microphone that uses a 3.5mm connection, but it also requires that that microphone be powered somehow. You might want to grab either a USB microphone, or a USB sound card into which to plug your

It's definitely just your thought, yes, as I have a 6+, and I wouldn't ask for anything smaller. I have a 5S as well as a backup phone, and to me, that thing feels dinky in my hand. It just feels really really teeny. Kind of reminds me of holding an old cassette tape in my hand. E!

If you have seen the iPhone 6, the 6S is a sensually the same. There is apparently a very minor difference, but unless you held the two phones right together, you would not know it. I agree, that the 6+ is too large at least for me. I know many people like it because of the bigger battery. But

The reason for this is, it's not a mike jack. It's a line in, which of corse will have much lower DBFS impedance level. As for an internal microphone, I don't think so, although that would be killer if it did. Chris. - Original Message - From: "Alex Hall" To:
