    Apple Watch SE 2 pairing with iPhone 7

    Dear Apple Watch Experts, I’m considering buying my mom a celluar Apple Watch SE 2, but she is still using an iPhone 7. Is there a way to pair all the apps from her iPhone 7 with the SE 2? My mom will need to use Apple Pay and make calls. Thank you! Mike

    Bluetooth pairing request while BT Settings is not open?

    I'm confused by the Bluetooth connection prompt that I randomly received on my MBA/M2/macOS 13.2.1. I understand that it was probably caused by someone nearby (with a Samsung device) accidentally selecting my MBA from a list of available BT devices. But, I was under the impression that my...

    Watch won’t boot past the Apple logo

    Hey! So I was updating my phone to the latest beta and then suddenly my watch just wouldn’t pair with my phone anymore. It just stops at that intricate logo design and that’s it. Is anyone facing the same issue? My watch is updated to watchOS 4, and my phone to the iOS 13 beta. Is this in...

    Trying to pair iPads to a Sony SRS-ZR5 speaker. Speaker works fine on Bluetooth (got it paired to a nearby amp). But when I try and get either a 2019 or a 2018 iPad to pair, neither machine recognises the Bluetooth device. Anything obvious that I'm (probably) doing wrong? Or, any hints and...
