Frohe Weihnachten – Thank You for a Wonderful Year with You!
The year is coming to an end, and we hope you can relax and enjoy the coming days – be it with family, friends, or by yourself. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and take care of yourself!
We would like to sincerely thank you again this year for your loyal visits, exciting comments, and helpful tips. Without you, our work would be only half as beautiful, and we have been able to experience this together for a good 23 years now.
Over the holidays, we will slow down as usual but stay on top for you „between the years“. In the new year, we will start fresh and full of energy – with hopefully many exciting topics and new surprises from the Apple world and beyond.
