Brett’s iTip: Turn on “Optimize iPhone Storage” so full-resolution photos and videos are then transferred up to iCloud, while smaller, lower-resolution versions are kept on your device which take up less space. Go to Settings - iCloud (your picture) - iCloud - Photos and make sure “iCloud Photos” is toggled on and then make sure “Optimize iPhone Storage” is selected. If you want to access your higher-resolution photos and videos, you can go into the Photos app and download any file that's being optimized, but this requires a decent internet connection. Your more recently taken photos and videos may exist in full-resolution, so you won't need to download every photo or video.

Jeff’s App: One of my favorite apps for the iPad that I use all the time is Goodnotes  for taking notes. In a recent update, they added the ability to add quick-access buttons for pen widths and colors right at your fingertips.
