    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    I have the smaller size. Next one will be the larger, easier to see. If your phone is with you all the time, no need for the cellular. Cost depends on your carrier. If you have the US Mobile Premium Unlimited, adding watch is free. Lesser US Mobile Plan, the watch cost $6.50 month...

    Apple Event WWDC June 9, 2025

    Maybe you want to call your doctor using your iPad? Maybe you want to answer a phone call on your iPad from an Android phone or an iPhone which doesn't use Facetime. Maybe your iPhone is in the other room on the charger. Having the phone app on the iPad can be an asset.

    Will you buy an Apple Watch?

    I also don't have any use for the Fitness features. If I just got off of the Stairmaster, I don't need a watch to tell me that I just got off the Stairmaster. I do see how others might appreciate such feedback. When I used to run daily, I was always curious just how far and how fast my trip was...

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 16

    I believe it's a deal between Apple and the carriers. They charge $30 activation fee. If you could buy direct from Apple and save the $30 activation fee, fewer would buy from the carrier. Just a guess.

    iOS 18, what did you think?

    It's because Apple is making 18 optional, while still supporting 17 for those who choose to remain there. Don't know how long that will continue.

    Are you planning to upgrade to the iPhone 16

    I loved my iPhone SE (1st gen) and thought I needed the home button. I went to the iPhone 13 and it took me about five minutes to get used to swiping up from the bottom to accomplish the same thing as the home button. Face recognition is much faster and more accurate than the finger print...

    I see you use the same accounting system my ex-wife used.

    iOS 18, what did you think?

    I remember the same argument surfacing when portable calculators became popular and then kids were allowed to use them in school. Did I spend all that time memorizing my times tables for nothing? Did calculators make us smarter? No, quite the opposite. Did they make us more productive...

    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...

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

    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...

    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.

    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.
