    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    I downloaded both of those apps a few months ago. I've experienced the same issues with Watch For Tesla. The biggest thing I didn't like was that I always had to open the app on my watch when I approached the vehicle for it's key to work. I have two complications on my watch face for Watch...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15

    Thanks guys. I understand the purpose of a weather app. Just don't see the need for animated snow on the phone screen. I could look out the window for that.

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15

    It rarely snows where I am. If it does, I doubt anyone will need a widget on their phone to know it. Why is such a thing even necessary or desirable?

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    For those who want to stay on the cutting edge, but away from the bleeding edge, this seems like a pretty good deal. AW Ultra with cellular for $629.

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15

    I didn't like the facial recognition at first, was used to the fingerprint. However, I now much prefer it. It's much quicker and more accurate. My iPhone SE was constantly asking me to redo the fingerprint. Dry weather and certain types of work would make my prints unrecognizable. Be aware...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15

    Yes, I grew up the same way. I can do carpentry, cabinet making, electrical work, etc. My dad was a mechanic and I grew up rebuilding engines, brakes, transmissions, etc. HOWEVER, electronics repairs require better eyesight, steady hands, and patience than I possess. When I replaced the...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15

    I envy you guys who can repair these electronic thingies. I replaced the battery on my Kindle Fire. The battery cost $20 and I was so proud of getting it apart and back together. I charged it and it booted right up. Only problem, the touch screen no longer works. Now, it's a paperweight. I...

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    I don't like the OS 10 on my AW. It requires more steps than before to accomplish the same task. Examples: changing watch face. Opening and closing workout session. Why? I really don't understand why OS makers do stuff like this. An example on my iPhone. When I answer a call, the screen...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 15

    Apple will replace an iPhone 12 battery for $89. Are they not successful with this service?

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    For anyone who is on the fence about trying out an Apple Watch, Walmart has some great deals on first generation SE watch. Just go to walmart.com and search for "apple watch se". I have owned one of these for over two years and it still is working great for monitoring calls and texts and many...

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    I guess it depends on how much you use it. I have an SE which is 2 years old and battery life down to 85%. I wear it for 2 full days then charge overnight. I don't talk on it, but I do monitor calls and read several texts per day on it, responding to some of them on the watch. I bought it so...

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    Walmart has the Apple Watch SE on sale for $149 at this time. It'll need to be charged every couple of days, but is good for your stated purpose. Apple Watch SE

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    Depends on the carrier. Verizon postpaid is $10 month plus taxes/fees. Others offer it for $10 including taxes/fees. I've seen $5 month also, can't remember who with. Yes, you just attach a credit card to Apple Pay. The actual charge goes on your cc bill, just like any other charge.

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    Why couldn't they just do a Tesla OTA recall and disable those features?

    Great Christmas gift idea for your IOS peeps

    I ordered a couple of sets of these for two of my casual friends. They appreciate nicer things. I just hope they don't already have them. 24k Solid Gold AirPod Pro - Carterlux.com

    Visible (Verizon) one month for $5

    I clicked on the link you provided for Boost and it takes me to a page to see if my "location qualifies". I entered the information and it doesn't do anything. I hope their service works better than their website.

    Visible (Verizon) one month for $5

    Spectrum has a $15 month data plan here also, but you have to pass the means testing to get it.

    Has Apple lost it's magic?

    I was an avid Android supporter for many years. The phones kept getting bigger and bigger, can you say phablets. I don't use a phone to surf the net or visit SatGuys. I finally gave in and bought an iPhone SE2, just because of it's small footprint. It cost me $200 brand new, which is about...

    Visible (Verizon) one month for $5

    Yesterday, when I signed up for the visible trail period, it took forever to activate the esim on my iPhone. I had to restart the app a half dozen times as it would freeze up. Finally got it done. I've been playing with visible quite a bit since then. At times, speeds are excellent to good...

    Visible (Verizon) one month for $5

    Does anyone here have Visible as their primary cell phone provider? I've read a lot from people who use it for hotspot in their RV travels etc. Just wondering if it's reliable for voice and text, not so worried about data. Thanks.

    Apple Event: iPhone 14, Apple Watch 8, AirPod Pro 2

    I got them yesterday. I was curious about the new wallpaper interface, especially the ability to place widgets on the lock screen. Disappointed. For one thing, the widgets are kind of limited and can't be placed where I wanted them or sized in any way that I can tell. Secondly, all my...

    Apple Event: iPhone 14, Apple Watch 8, AirPod Pro 2

    I was really disappointed in the watch and iPhone offerings. Hopefully, there will be some sales on AW7 and iPhone 13. I especially don't like not having a physical sim card slot. So easy to flip flop between phones. As far as the cellular price difference between SE and AW8, maybe the AW8...

    Apple Event: iPhone 14, Apple Watch 8, AirPod Pro 2

    Yes, but last time I looked, it was a paltry sum. I get a 10% discount at Apple for being a veteran, but that's about all I've seen. I'm really disappointed. I was hoping the AW8 would have a flat screen, as some have speculated. I'm sorry I passed up a chance to get an AW7 last week for...
