    Magic of the Apple Watch

    First I am aware that we all love to bash the h$$! out of Apple, I am right there in the trenches with you. Today during a walk with my dogs with only my Apple Watch and AirPods II listening to a podcast on Apple Podcasts that I had started earlier on another device, and when it ended I kinda...

    I have been having issues on my iPhone 7 with Siri not being able to connect while on cellular/LTE. This has been happening ever since iOS 13 betas and has continued with the GM.

    Other No Phone Dilemma

    I’ve had issues with all the major carriers and have finally cancelled my service, traded in my iPhone, and no longer own a smartphone of any make. For the last 3 1/2 months, I’ve been using an Apple Watch Series 3 with cellular service as my primary device on a Verizon plan, but recently found...

    Other H Chips and the Implication for W

    Apple changed the chip series name in the new AirPods from W to H, which presumably stands for headphones. Why? I think because Apple will be using the W (wireless) naming for their in-house cellular modem chips for iPhone. So this pretty much confirms it, right?

    iPad Trying to find deals for 32GB WiFi + Cellular 6th Generation iPad

    I've looked everywhere for a good deal for the iPad 6th Generation, and I’ve legitimately looked everywhere (Amazon, eBay, etc). Does anyone know of an actual good deal going on for the 32GB WiFi + Cellular model? It’s supposed to be a gift for someone. Cheers! :)

    Cannot add eSIM on XS Max - help please

    I have been with Apple Support for countless hours now and have met with the Genius Bar folks 3 times already. I originally bought a HK version XS Max (physical dual SIMs). That one stopped working and I got it replaced at the Apple service centre in the UAE. As it was the UAE, they gave me...

    Cellular or Wifi?

    I am wondering what is the reason to use a cellular over the wifi? In many countries you can rent a mifi cheaper than a cell + data plan so I'm wondering why do people choose a cellular model?

    Apple Watch 3 Series buying abroad

    Hi there, I live in the UK but will be in the USA next month. I had hoped to pick up a 3rd Generation Apple Watch, GPS Only (NO Cellular). Will this work with a UK bought and used iPhone? Can all features still be used - phone notifications when connected via bluetooth etc? Any help appreciated!

    I'm sorry if this has been answered before. My son is special and I was thinking about getting him an Apple Watch Series 4 / cellular. But he doesn't have an iPhone and I feel he'll lose the phone, but not the watch.

    Cellular S4 customers getting screwed

    by Apple and by their cellular carriers. First, Apple is charging $100 more for the exact same watch plus a cellular modem (which probably costs $2). For the S3 release, original pricing for the cellular model was $70 more than GPS alone BUT the cellular model also came with more storage (16 GB...

    Battery life with cellular

    If I buy an Apple Watch Series 4 with cellular, but keep cellular turned off, will I get the same battery life as with the non-cellular models? At first, I assumed the answer is Yes. But I just read that 911 works when there is no carrier plan, and even when cellular is disabled on the watch...

    US Cellular Series 4 in the UK?

    Hi all, I'm looking to pick up an S4 in the US in a couple of weeks. Does anyone know if the cellular capabilities will work if I activate it on EE in the UK? AFAIK, the S3 cellular doesn't work across countries, just curious if anyone knows if this is still the case. Thanks!
