How does a person close APP’s on the Apple iWatch S2, or reboot-restart the 
device? Thanks and have a nice day!

On my Apple Watch, my preferred face is called Liquid Metal. The time for 
sunrise or sunset, depending on current time of day, appears in the top right 
corner of the screen. Right now, it shows the sunset time for tonight. After 
the sun has gone down, it will show the time sun will rise tomorrow.

if the watch works the same as the phone, the sunrise and set are near the

Sun rise and sunset are there as well as air quality, wind, pressure, feels 
like, and so on. What it doesn't give and I would like are previous day's high 
and low, and record highs and lows, and moon times and phase.

There used to be something with a name like "Braillewunderground" but can't get 
that any longer. I think you have to pay for it.

In any case, I'm not fond  of a name which derives from weather underground. 
Always gave me the creeps to use it, but it gave me information I wanted.

So much for political principles. "Grimace."

Hi,



I am attempting to find on my Apple Watch the information that will tell me the 
sunrise and sunset. Does anyone know where I can find this? Thanks in advance!

It is quite new, and I for one will not receive mine until at least October 
27th.

I’ve not owned an Apple watch before, but just know that between Series 3 and 
6, the processor has been updated probably at least twice if not three times.

More when I have spent time with one.

Subject: Inquiring about the new iWatch

 

Hi there,

 

I’d like some thoughts from anyone who has the newest Apple watch.  I’m 
seriously thinking about upgrading from my current series 3.  Aside from that, 
I’ve been having trouble upgrading to the latest watch version, which makes me 
think I should upgrade anyway.

What do people like about the newer watch, and what are some of the advantages 
to upgrading?  What are some disadvantages or things you’ve found don’t work 
well yet?  Is it worth the upgrade? What about VoiceOver and accessibility 
issues or glitches?

I know I can get some money for my current watch and use it toward a trade-in.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Jim

2020-09-28 Thread Devin Prater
I've heard from one user that touching the Watch, series six, passed the
gesture from VoiceOver to the WatchOS, so if you tap the Watch and then
swipe quickly, it'll do what a two-finger swipe normally does. Little
things like that. But not much else, good or bad.

Inquiring about the new iWatch

2020-09-28 Thread Jim Portillo
Hi there,

 

I'd like some thoughts from anyone who has the newest Apple watch.  I'm
seriously thinking about upgrading from my current series 3.  Aside from
that, I've been having trouble upgrading to the latest watch version, which
makes me think I should upgrade anyway.

What do people like about the newer watch, and what are some of the
advantages to upgrading?  What are some disadvantages or things you've found
don't work well yet?  Is it worth the upgrade? What about VoiceOver and
accessibility issues or glitches?

I know I can get some money for my current watch and use it toward a
trade-in.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Jim

Got the LTE model no regrets, plus I paid for it on a monthly bases
anyways. I refuse to pay 400 or 500 outright, even when I do have that

accept for the 10 bucks extra a month for the LTE.

Yes, indeed.
I have a shoulder bag for my iPhone, so I never leave home without it, (in fact 
I have it with me at all times even around the house) so I ordered the GPS 
model to save money.  I can buy a lot of other things for the extra $100 up 
front not to mention the ongoing costs for the cellular stuff.

Not sure if it was mentioned before on this thread, but note the cellular 
version of the Apple Watch costs about $100 more up front, and costs an 
additional $10 monthly from your phone carrier. In short, if you want to save 
money, get the GPS only model. To each their own though.

I did not, and have never had to work with a sim card for my Apple Watch. When 
I ordered my Apple Watch, I told them who my cell carrier was, and it came 
ready to go. All I had to do is call my carrier and let them add it to my cell 
plan. This was my experience, I can not say that yours will not be different.

Okay guys,
Since I have never owned an Apple Watch before, excuse my ignorance. Does the 
cellular version of the Apple Watch have a physical sim card, or an electronic 
card? If it is a physical sim card, is it easy to slide it in and out of the

I believe they both have GPS, but one has cellular onboard and the other 
doesn’t.
I’m considering the series 6 and they have one that is gps and one that is 
gps/cellular.
I never leave my home without my phone, so I will go for the one without the 
cellular if I decide to do that.

The main reason some people choose to get the cell model is for that exact 
reason, you can actually leave your home without your phone if you want. So 
yes, with the cell model, you can make and receive calls without your phone, as 
well as send and receive messages. Just know, making phone calls on your watch 
can drain the battery more quickly.

I also wanted to mention that you can also make and receive calls on the non 
cell model as long as your phone is within some distance. So this can come in 
handy if you do not want to take your phone out of your pocket.

Hope this helps.

Chris,

I’ve had an apple watch 1 the original,
A series 2 and now a series 4,

None of them have given me more than 2 days battery life at a stretch,

I can get slightly more but not enough to say it made a difference.
But it realy depends on what you are doing in your day and what services / 
features on the watch you have running as they will burn up more battery life 
the more you have running at the time.

Especially with things like the Blood o2 meter as it has LED’s that tell you 
it’s working so they will add to the usage.

I have to admit that I never thought of an iWatch until now. The great medical

However, I noticed that the apple conference in September 15 never mentioned

RE: comparison of iWatch 5 and iWatch 6

Richard,

The ECG was on the 4 and 5 as well as the 6,
But out of the 6 and se yes the 6 has the blood o2 meter, ecg,and something 
else which escapes me.

The 6 has the always on retina display, and I believe the always on altimeter?
The next step up in processors, I’m not clear on the exact names of the watch 
processors, but it is next one up in the series so a faster processor.

Beyond that, I’m not sure.

I don’t recall seeing any comparison between the just released model 6 and the 
previous model 5 of the iWatch. Might someone please summarize the actual 
differences? What do you get with the 6 that you do not get with the 5. I am

The main reason some people choose to get the cell model is for that exact 
reason, you can actually leave your home without your phone if you want. So 
yes, with the cell model, you can make and receive calls without your phone, as 
well as send and receive messages. Just know, making phone calls on your watch 
can drain the battery more quickly.

I also wanted to mention that you can also make and receive calls on the non 
cell model as long as your phone is within some distance. So this can come in 
handy if you do not want to take your phone out of your pocket.

Hope this helps.

Chris,

I’ve had an apple watch 1 the original,
A series 2 and now a series 4,

None of them have given me more than 2 days battery life at a stretch,

I can get slightly more but not enough to say it made a difference.
But it realy depends on what you are doing in your day and what services / 
features on the watch you have running as they will burn up more battery life 
the more you have running at the time.

Especially with things like the Blood o2 meter as it has LED’s that tell you 
it’s working so they will add to the usage.

Hi folks,
I have to admit that I never thought of an iWatch until now. The great medical 
sensors in iWatch six make it more appealing to me than previous watches.
However, I noticed that the apple conference in September 15 never mentioned 
anything about the battery life of this iWatch. Did anyone on this list buy it? 
If so, What do you think of its battery life? I appreciate any comments on this 
watch in general and battery life in particular.

RE: What do you guys think of iWatch six?

Just for the sake of correctness, it is the Apple Watch, not an iWatch.

The main reason some people choose to get the cell model is for that exact 
reason, you can actually leave your home without your phone if you want. So 
yes, with the cell model, you can make and receive calls without your phone, as 
well as send and receive messages. Just know, making phone calls on your watch 
can drain the battery more quickly.

I also wanted to mention that you can also make and receive calls on the non 
cell model as long as your phone is within some distance. So this can come in 
handy if you do not want to take your phone out of your pocket.

Hope this helps.

Chris,

I’ve had an apple watch 1 the original,
A series 2 and now a series 4,

None of them have given me more than 2 days battery life at a stretch,

I can get slightly more but not enough to say it made a difference.
But it realy depends on what you are doing in your day and what services / 
features on the watch you have running as they will burn up more battery life 
the more you have running at the time.

Especially with things like the Blood o2 meter as it has LED’s that tell you 
it’s working so they will add to the usage.

Hi folks,
I have to admit that I never thought of an iWatch until now. The great medical 
sensors in iWatch six make it more appealing to me than previous watches.
However, I noticed that the apple conference in September 15 never mentioned 
anything about the battery life of this iWatch. Did anyone on this list buy it? 
If so, What do you think of its battery life? I appreciate any comments on this

>From my reading, the ECG is only on the 6.
The 6 has the always on retina display, and I believe the always on altimeter?
The next step up in processors, I’m not clear on the exact names of the watch 
processors, but it is next one up in the series so a faster processor.

Beyond that, I’m not sure.

RE: What do you guys think of iWatch six?

2020-09-25 Thread Simon A Fogarty
Sorry not really a question I can answer re the cellular watchs,

We only have the GPS versions here in new Zealand,

But from what I’m aware of
I believe that yes you can get calls on your watch,I don’t know if that is 
correct though.

Okay Simon. I have another question for you. Is your iWatch cellular or 
bluetooth? What are the exact advantages of the cellular type? For instance, if 
you leave your phone at home and you walk down the street, would you still be 
able to receive a phone call on your watch and answer it?

I can get slightly more but not enough to say it made a difference.

What do you guys think of iWatch six?

2020-09-25 Thread Cris Ali
Hi folks,
I have to admit that I never thought of an iWatch until now. The great medical 
sensors in iWatch six make it more appealing to me than previous watches.
However, I noticed that the apple conference in September 15 never mentioned 
anything about the battery life of this iWatch. Did anyone on this list buy it? 
If so, What do you think of its battery life? I appreciate any comments on this 
watch in general and battery life in particular.

Hi Robin,

 

Here is an item I sell at my store, it will be perfect to replace your old, too 
small purse:

 

Allen Haul'R Duffle Bag 65.5L

The HAUL’R Duffel Bag has a rugged Endura outer with a large zippered main 
compartment. The bag also features reinforced side carry handles. Perfect for 
throwing your gear in your truck, travel, and many other purposes, this duffel 
bag is dependable and durable.

It is also the perfect purse replacement for the modern american women who 
wants to bring her cuttingboard sized Phablet, carry a selection of pistols and 
other self-defense weapons as well as maxi-sized lipsticks, perfume bottles and 
7 pairs of shoes. The snazzy camoflauge pattern will satisfy the style of even 
the most discerning redneck… you’ll be sure to instantly attract the attention 
of any law enforcement agent anywhere.

Features:

• Dimensions: 13 in. x 15 in. x 30 in.

• NextCamo G2 camouflage

• Exterior zippered accessory pocket

• Padded, removable shoulder strap

Hi,

Kelly it's funny you say this because when I got my first plus device I had 

to buy a new purse because it wouldn't fit in what I had at the time.  They 

just don't make purse pockets for the plus's even now finding a purse to 

handle a folding cane and a plus size phone even the nerdy girls have issues 

oy the challenges (laughing lots).

Remember mark that the physical shape of the phones needs to fit into

the pants pocket of most men. If it can't fit into a back pants

pocket, the phone is a deal breaker for many. The edge to edge screen

and plus size form factor enables Apple to deliver huge screens for a

smart phone without massively blowing up the size so nerdy males won't

buy it.

 

 

the disappointment will be for sighted people and the 10 R at the end

of October. Its screen will look about the same as the iPhone 4,

introduced in 2010.

Too bad they don't offer that wrist strap they used to offer for the iPod Touch 
at one point or maybe it was the iPhone 5C? I mean no self-respecting snowboard 
or paddle boarrd is without a leash, right? I forgot that with the IP68 
waterproof rating you could use some really large mega Phablet as a paddle 
board as well as long as the stylus was long enough and was a little wider on 
one end.
OK, enough joking around, but I seriously wouldn't want anything larger than my 
current 6S Plus and in fact I will probably go back to a smaller device 
whenever I update next which isn't for at least another year.

And why would you want to hold a device the size of an old VHS tape (if 
thinner) up to your face?
And I really think you do need that new Apple Watch 4, at least then if  you go 
to the Apple Store next time and you faint and fall because you are so 
disappointed that you can't use your new iPhone as a snowboard substitute your 
Apple Watch will call 9 1 1 for you *smile*.

Hello Everyone,

Let me just say that the following is just my opinion and it is not intended to 
persuade or dissuade anyone of anything.

Yesterday, I went to a remote Best Buy retail store where, as I expected, there 
were almost no customers.  

The Apple section was completely deserted except for one very enthusiastic 
Apple representative.  

Although I had not fully recognized it myself, some part of me really wanted to 
be wowed by the 10 S Max in terms of its 6.5 inch display size.  As you may 
recall, I have often stated that I am not ready for Face ID yet, I discovered 
that I was somewhat open to purchasing a 10 S Max if it could wow me, enough.

Five years or so ago, I had a friend who owned one of the first modern 
phablets, the Samsun Mega.  I believe the screen size was 6.3 inches.  Its 
physical size was so large that every time I used it, I felt as though I was a 
little kid playing with a grown-up's device.  I just couldn't stop grinning, 
every time I held it in my hand.

It was huge  Yet, despite its size, I really, really liked it.  It felt, 
just as the term phablet implies, like a cross between a phone and a tablet 
computer.  

Believe it or not, I found myself finding ways to spend more time with my 
friend just so I could play with that Samsung Mega.  (smile)  

I almost bought one for myself but, at that time, I just didn't like Android 
enough to make the investment.  Soon after, Samsung stopped making the Mega.


So, yesterday, as I entered the Apple section of the store, I suppose, on some 
subconscious level, I was hoping to see that same huge form-factor on the 10 S 
Max.  It didn't happen.  In fact, believe it or not, the actual body, or 
form-factor of the 10 S Max is almost identical to my 8 Plus.  

I was so disappointed.  I was so disappointed, in fact, that the Apple sales 
rep thought that I had taken ill and asked if I needed medical attention.  

Now I know that Apple made it clear as to the physical dimensions of the 10 S 
Max but, somehow, some way, I thought the form-factor would be larger, much 
larger than my beloved 8 Plus.  In fact, I suppose, I was counting on it.  

The sales rep, a very nice young man, began his spiel about how much better the 
display is and how much faster the 10 S Max is, and blah, blah, blah!.  

All I know is that, when I closed my eyes, I couldn't tell the 10 S Max from my 
beloved 8 Plus.

Hi,

Kelly it's funny you say this because when I got my first plus device I had

to buy a new purse because it wouldn't fit in what I had at the time.  They

just don't make purse pockets for the plus's even now finding a purse to

handle a folding cane and a plus size phone even the nerdy girls have issues

Remember mark that the physical shape of the phones needs to fit into

the pants pocket of most men. If it can't fit into a back pants

pocket, the phone is a deal breaker for many. The edge to edge screen

and plus size form factor enables Apple to deliver huge screens for a

smart phone without massively blowing up the size so nerdy males won't

buy it.





the disappointment will be for sighted people and the 10 R at the end

of October. Its screen will look about the same as the iPhone 4,

introduced in 2010.

Mark, also remember that although the 8Plus is the same size as the max, on the 
max there is screen where the home button and top speaker is on the max, thus 
giving the max more screen.  I felt both of them, and I think the max is much 
better design.  JMO

Hello Everyone,

Let me just say that the following is just my opinion and it is not intended to 
persuade or dissuade anyone of anything.

Yesterday, I went to a remote Best Buy retail store where, as I expected, there 
were almost no customers.  

The Apple section was completely deserted except for one very enthusiastic 
Apple representative.  

Although I had not fully recognized it myself, some part of me really wanted to 
be wowed by the 10 S Max in terms of its 6.5 inch display size.  As you may 
recall, I have often stated that I am not ready for Face ID yet, I discovered 
that I was somewhat open to purchasing a 10 S Max if it could wow me, enough.

Five years or so ago, I had a friend who owned one of the first modern 
phablets, the Samsun Mega.  I believe the screen size was 6.3 inches.  Its 
physical size was so large that every time I used it, I felt as though I was a 
little kid playing with a grown-up's device.  I just couldn't stop grinning, 
every time I held it in my hand.

It was huge  Yet, despite its size, I really, really liked it.  It felt, 
just as the term phablet implies, like a cross between a phone and a tablet 
computer.  

Believe it or not, I found myself finding ways to spend more time with my 
friend just so I could play with that Samsung Mega.  (smile)  

I almost bought one for myself but, at that time, I just didn't like Android 
enough to make the investment.  Soon after, Samsung stopped making the Mega.


So, yesterday, as I entered the Apple section of the store, I suppose, on some 
subconscious level, I was hoping to see that same huge form-factor on the 10 S 
Max.  It didn't happen.  In fact, believe it or not, the actual body, or 
form-factor of the 10 S Max is almost identical to my 8 Plus.  

I was so disappointed.  I was so disappointed, in fact, that the Apple sales 
rep thought that I had taken ill and asked if I needed medical attention.  

Now I know that Apple made it clear as to the physical dimensions of the 10 S 
Max but, somehow, some way, I thought the form-factor would be larger, much 
larger than my beloved 8 Plus.  In fact, I suppose, I was counting on it.  

The sales rep, a very nice young man, began his spiel about how much better the 
display is and how much faster the 10 S Max is, and blah, blah, blah!.  

All I know is that, when I closed my eyes, I couldn't tell the 10 S Max from my 
beloved 8 Plus.  

As for the Apple watch?  Same scenario.  If there is any major size difference, 
I couldn't detect it to the point where I wanted to buy a new watch.  

Now I realize that Apple is simply increasing the size of its displays without 
increasing the physical form-factors but, for me, this is kind of a let-down.  
I'm not exactly sure why this is so; perhaps, for me at least, it's the 
marvelous memory of that Samsung Mega that, for better or worse, set a 
form-factor size standard to which, one day, I hope to return.

Hi,
Kelly it's funny you say this because when I got my first plus device I had 
to buy a new purse because it wouldn't fit in what I had at the time.  They 
just don't make purse pockets for the plus's even now finding a purse to 
handle a folding cane and a plus size phone even the nerdy girls have issues 
oy the challenges (laughing lots).

Remember mark that the physical shape of the phones needs to fit into
the pants pocket of most men. If it can't fit into a back pants
pocket, the phone is a deal breaker for many. The edge to edge screen
and plus size form factor enables Apple to deliver huge screens for a
smart phone without massively blowing up the size so nerdy males won't
buy it.


the disappointment will be for sighted people and the 10 R at the end
of October. Its screen will look about the same as the iPhone 4,
introduced in 2010.

Hello Everyone,

Let me just say that the following is just my opinion and it is not
intended
to persuade or dissuade anyone of anything.

Yesterday, I went to a remote Best Buy retail store where, as I expected,
there were almost no customers.

The Apple section was completely deserted except for one very enthusiastic
Apple representative.

Although I had not fully recognized it myself, some part of me really
wanted
to be wowed by the 10 S Max in terms of its 6.5 inch display size.  As you
may recall, I have often stated that I am not ready for Face ID yet, I
discovered that I was somewhat open to purchasing a 10 S Max if it could
wow
me, enough.

Five years or so ago, I had a friend who owned one of the first modern
phablets, the Samsun Mega.  I believe the screen size was 6.3 inches.  Its
physical size was so large that every time I used it, I felt as though I
was
a little kid playing with a grown-up's device.  I just couldn't stop
grinning, every time I held it in my hand.

It was huge  Yet, despite its size, I really, really liked it.  It
felt,
just as the term phablet implies, like a cross between a phone and a 
tablet

computer.

Believe it or not, I found myself finding ways to spend more time with my
friend just so I could play with that Samsung Mega.  (smile)

I almost bought one for myself but, at that time, I just didn't like
Android
enough to make the investment.  Soon after, Samsung stopped making the
Mega.


So, yesterday, as I entered the Apple section of the store, I suppose, on
some subconscious level, I was hoping to see that same huge form-factor on
the 10 S Max.  It didn't happen.  In fact, believe it or not, the actual
body, or form-factor of the 10 S Max is almost identical to my 8 Plus.

I was so disappointed.  I was so disappointed, in fact, that the Apple
sales
rep thought that I had taken ill and asked if I needed medical attention.

Now I know that Apple made it clear as to the physical dimensions of the 
10

S Max but, somehow, some way, I thought the form-factor would be larger,
much larger than my beloved 8 Plus.  In fact, I suppose, I was counting on
it.

The sales rep, a very nice young man, began his spiel about how much 
better

the display is and how much faster the 10 S Max is, and blah, blah, blah!.


All I know is that, when I closed my eyes, I couldn't tell the 10 S Max
from
my beloved 8 Plus.

As for the Apple watch?  Same scenario.  If there is any major size
difference, I couldn't detect it to the point where I wanted to buy a new
watch.

Now I realize that Apple is simply increasing the size of its displays
without increasing the physical form-factors but, for me, this is kind of 
a

let-down.  I'm not exactly sure why this is so; perhaps, for me at least,
it's the marvelous memory of that Samsung Mega that, for better or worse,
set a form-factor size standard to which, one day, I hope to return.

As for the Apple Watch, I avoid the image of the blind nerd drowning
in technology. I sort of already have it with a Victor Stream attached
at my belt and ear phone wires coming out of my ears. On an airplane
or long bus ride, the Blue Tooth over the ear headphones come out and
there is a big letter B on each ear cup. I listen to music on my
iPhone with these headphones.

My vintage Braille watch offers some of the mid-20th century blind
look before Apple Watches, portable book readers, portable recorders,
and talking smart phones. My nerdy side is confirmed when I go to an
event and pull out a broadcast quality microphone with a 20 foot cord.

Too bad they don't offer that wrist strap they used to offer for the iPod Touch 
at one point or maybe it was the iPhone 5C? I mean no self-respecting snowboard 
or paddle boarrd is without a leash, right? I forgot that with the IP68 
waterproof rating you could use some really large mega Phablet as a paddle 
board as well as long as the stylus was long enough and was a little wider on 
one end.
OK, enough joking around, but I seriously wouldn't want anything larger than my 
current 6S Plus and in fact I will probably go back to a smaller device 
whenever I update next which isn't for at least another year.

RE: Mark on iPhone 10 S Max and iWatch Series 4, Form-Factor

2018-09-22 Thread M. Taylor
Hi Kelly, 

You make an excellent point.  In fact, 9 times out of 10, I carry my 8 Plus in 
my front left shirt pocket where it fits, quite nicely.  

I would never carry a $1,000 device in my back hip pocket.  Does this mean I am 
not a nurdy guy?  (smile)

Remember mark that the physical shape of the phones needs to fit into the pants 
pocket of most men. If it can't fit into a back pants pocket, the phone is a 
deal breaker for many. The edge to edge screen and plus size form factor 
enables Apple to deliver huge screens for a smart phone without massively 
blowing up the size so nerdy males won't buy it.


the disappointment will be for sighted people and the 10 R at the end of

2018-09-22 Thread regina alvarado


this is interesting. I had an 8 Plus which I thought I loved to death. However, 
over a few months my hands really began to hurt from stretching to hold it. 
Now, I know I have very tiny hands, but I couldn't wait to find a phone that 
was a bit smaller. When I went to the Apple store I looked at the 8, but it 
really was too small a screen for me. It made me feel like I was holding my 4s, 
and I really didn't like the feel of that one. When I held the X I felt like it 
was a good in between. It is not small but not the 8 Plus either. Yes, I had a 
major learning curve to learn the gestures on a consistent basis, but it felt 
much better for me to hold. What I am truly afraid of is that people are asking 
for larger and larger screens to watch videos and TV that we with small hands 
will be left holding uncomfortable phones. Nice, though, that we all are so 
different.

Mark on iPhone 10 S Max and iWatch Series 4, Form-Factor

2018-09-22 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone,

Let me just say that the following is just my opinion and it is not intended
to persuade or dissuade anyone of anything.

Yesterday, I went to a remote Best Buy retail store where, as I expected,
there were almost no customers.  

The Apple section was completely deserted except for one very enthusiastic
Apple representative.  

Although I had not fully recognized it myself, some part of me really wanted
to be wowed by the 10 S Max in terms of its 6.5 inch display size.  As you
may recall, I have often stated that I am not ready for Face ID yet, I
discovered that I was somewhat open to purchasing a 10 S Max if it could wow
me, enough.

Five years or so ago, I had a friend who owned one of the first modern
phablets, the Samsun Mega.  I believe the screen size was 6.3 inches.  Its
physical size was so large that every time I used it, I felt as though I was
a little kid playing with a grown-up's device.  I just couldn't stop
grinning, every time I held it in my hand.

It was huge  Yet, despite its size, I really, really liked it.  It felt,
just as the term phablet implies, like a cross between a phone and a tablet
computer.  

Believe it or not, I found myself finding ways to spend more time with my
friend just so I could play with that Samsung Mega.  (smile)  

I almost bought one for myself but, at that time, I just didn't like Android
enough to make the investment.  Soon after, Samsung stopped making the Mega.


So, yesterday, as I entered the Apple section of the store, I suppose, on
some subconscious level, I was hoping to see that same huge form-factor on
the 10 S Max.  It didn't happen.  In fact, believe it or not, the actual
body, or form-factor of the 10 S Max is almost identical to my 8 Plus.  

I was so disappointed.  I was so disappointed, in fact, that the Apple sales
rep thought that I had taken ill and asked if I needed medical attention.  

Now I know that Apple made it clear as to the physical dimensions of the 10
S Max but, somehow, some way, I thought the form-factor would be larger,
much larger than my beloved 8 Plus.  In fact, I suppose, I was counting on
it.  

The sales rep, a very nice young man, began his spiel about how much better
the display is and how much faster the 10 S Max is, and blah, blah, blah!.  

All I know is that, when I closed my eyes, I couldn't tell the 10 S Max from
my beloved 8 Plus.  

As for the Apple watch?  Same scenario.  If there is any major size
difference, I couldn't detect it to the point where I wanted to buy a new
watch.  

Now I realize that Apple is simply increasing the size of its displays
without increasing the physical form-factors but, for me, this is kind of a
let-down.  I'm not exactly sure why this is so; perhaps, for me at least,
it's the marvelous memory of that Samsung Mega that, for better or worse,
set a form-factor size standard to which, one day, I hope to return.

Mark

RE: about iWatch

2016-11-30 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Hi Pablo,

I have only had my Apple Watch for 3 or 4 weeks now and haven’t tried this, but 
doing a quick Google search brought up this article:

http://www.cultofmac.com/320234/how-to-navigate-using-only-your-apple-watch/

The author does not at all mention an iPhone, but I have a feeling that you 
still may need your iPhone with you. The reason why I think this is the case is 
because while the Apple Watch has a GPS receiver, it does not have storage to 
have Maps downloaded to the device and even on the iPhone, Apple Maps only 
works with a cellular connection. The Apple Watch Series 2 has GPS but not a 
cellular modem hence it has no way to access maps on a server unless it is via 
the iPhone. The built-in GPS receiver is, as Lois pointed out, primarily for 
fitness purposes. Apart from the fact that you can do phone calls via your 
Apple Watch and get notifications, fitness and health is a huge focus of Apple. 
I often go for walks with my dog or for a run and especially in the summer and 
if I’m running and wearing only shorts and a T-Shirt it’s a huge benefit if I 
can just have the Apple Watchon my wrist and still get the GPS accuracy for 
distance, speed and so on. Since the Apple Watch is also waterproof I don’t 
even have to worry if I take my dog to the river on a hot day and want to jump 
in with him for a swim.

I assume in a year or two or three Apple will figure out how they can give the 
Apple Watch cellular connectivity and still have at least a solid day of 
battery life and at that point you can most likely do even more with the watch. 
In any case, I will try the navigation thing tomorrow morning when I go to work 
if I don’t forget. I’ll just start the route and then put my phone in Airplane 
mode and see what happens. The Apple Watch does have some internal storage so 
who knows, maybe it is smart enough to download a the section of maps needed 
for the route via the iPhone once you start it, but I’d be really impressed if 
this were the case.

Sieghard

Subject: about iWatch

I just talked to apple sales department. I asked them, if the apple watch  
series 2 has gps antenna, so I don’t need my phone around to know where am I?
They said, yes, you don’t need to have your iPhone around to use the gps 
capabilities.
I asked them, ok, if I don’t need my iPhone around to use the gps capabilities, 
I will be able to use maps and for example get the way  to somewhere just 
typing an address?
They said, no, to be able to do that you need to get your phone.
I said, so I don’t understand. What is the reason of that gps antenna then?
You said that I don’t need my iPhone to use the gps capabilities, but you are 
saying now that if I want to go to a store, I need my phone to tell to maps the 
address and start the way ?
So for what reason I want a iWathch with gps antenna?
They couldn’t answer my question.
So really, and I want to think that this lady wasn’t very aware about the apple 
watch . What are the usability of a gps antenna in a apple watch ?
Thanks guys,

Good morning,

 

As a Christmas gift, I’m about to get an iWatch first series edition.  It’s a 
38 MM screen, which is fine for me because I’m totally blind.  Are there any 
tutorials or is there any advice for me before I go pick it up from the Apple 
Store?  I know it has VoiceOver, and that it can work with my iPhone 7, but 
what will I need to do to set it up?  I think the Apple Store will help me 
somewhat, but I know it will help knowing what I need to do.

Is it fairly easy to use, and are the gestures the same using VoiceOver?

Thanks.

has just published an excellent audio tutorial that covers everything that you 
need to know about using Apple Watch with VoiceOver.

Re: about iWatch

2016-11-29 Thread Lois Butterfield
Hi,

For one thing, you could use an app like Run Keeper, which uses GPS.  Lots of 
fitness apps could be used without having your phone nearby.  That might be the 
main benefit.

Take care,

Subject: about iWatch

I just talked to apple sales department. I asked them, if the apple watch  
series 2 has gps antenna, so I don’t need my phone around to know where am I?

They said, yes, you don’t need to have your iPhone around to use the gps 
capabilities.

I asked them, ok, if I don’t need my iPhone around to use the gps capabilities, 
I will be able to use maps and for example get the way  to somewhere just 
typing an address?

They said, no, to be able to do that you need to get your phone.

I said, so I don’t understand. What is the reason of that gps antenna then?

You said that I don’t need my iPhone to use the gps capabilities, but you are 
saying now that if I want to go to a store, I need my phone to tell to maps the 
address and start the way ?

So for what reason I want a iWathch with gps antenna?

They couldn’t answer my question.

So really, and I want to think that this lady wasn’t very aware about the apple 
watch . What are the usability of a gps antenna in a apple watch ?

Thanks guys,

Good morning,

 

As a Christmas gift, I'm about to get an iWatch first series edition.  It's
a 38 MM screen, which is fine for me because I'm totally blind.  Are there
any tutorials or is there any advice for me before I go pick it up from the
Apple Store?  I know it has VoiceOver, and that it can work with my iPhone
7, but what will I need to do to set it up?  I think the Apple Store will
help me somewhat, but I know it will help knowing what I need to do.

Is it fairly easy to use, and are the gestures the same using VoiceOver?

Thanks.

Hi Jenn,

Good to see you over here, and thanks for the reply.  Yeah, sorry, I realized 
my slip almost immediately upon hitting the “send” button.  In fact, I felt so 
stupid about it that I nearly posted a correction, but decided that would only 
draw more attention to it instead.  

I’m so glad to hear it’s pretty much fully accessible.  Originally, I had been 
considering something like the Fitbit, which does sound cool, but I think I 
want more direct access to the wristband itself and I like the idea of being 
able to use more functions that work so seamlessly with the iPhone, and I can 
also continue to use my favorite fitness program with the Apple Watch.  

Anyway, that’s great, and thanks again for your opinion.

Hi Jenny, 

I for one love my Apple Watch. Just so you know, it isn't called the I watch. 
It's just as Apple Watch. It is very voice over friendly. I can do almost 
anything with my watch that I can with my phone. It is very convenient to text 
and dictate messages through it. The microphone is also great. I also can 
record with it. You have to have an app for that though. A good app is called 
Just Press Record. All in all, you probably won't regret getting an Apple 
Watch. Have a good night.

Thoughts on iWatch

2015-11-27 Thread Jenny Wood
Hi all, Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate, but greetings to everyone.

Okay, so now that it has been out for a while, I am curious what the current 
feelings might be regarding Apple’s iWatch.  As I recall, it does have some 
accessibility via voiceover, please correct me if I’m wrong.  Would you 
consider it pretty “user friendly” for someone who is blind or vision-impaired? 
 What are the pros and cons in your opinion?  I have been toying with the idea 
of putting the iWatch on my list of “wants” down the road (not sure Christmas 
is looking very realistic at this point), but I would love to hear opinions 
from those who have been using it for a while.

Thanks in advance!

Jenny

RE: iWatch

2015-03-19 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
No,theApple Watch requires a connection to the iPhone. All things like 
notifications and so on only work when a phone is paired with the watch. They 
did say the watch has 8 Gb of memory and some of that can be used to store 
music so it may be possible to use the watch without a phone to play music or a 
book by itself, but you certainly won’t get text messages, emails, other 
notifications or phone calls without the iPhone. At this point the Apple Watch 
is meant to be a companion device for the iPhone and not a stand-alone device.

and is it not true that you have to have the watch paired with the phone 
meaning you have to have your phone close by? the issue with this for us is 
that my room mate and I share the phone and she takes it to work with her once 
a wek. Well if either of us gets the watch, will it no longer work with the 
phone out of range?

Thanks Larry. Have you tried the app out  and if so,  how do you like it? Also, 
how does the i watch  app compare with the actual wrist i watch? Thanks.
