Well I thought the audio description was really good. I just wanna say that I’m gonna stick with my iPhone 8 Plus until it’s no longer supported with iOS versions anymore and obviously until it bites the dust or greatly has a significantly degraded battery then I will consider the later models of phones as for the Apple Watch I have The fifth series and until that bites the dust and is no longer supported regarding watchOS versions, I will use that. The ultrasounds really good and so does the eight model. No mention of iOS 16 being compatible with older phones but we shall see once it’s rolled out. if I remember correctly the 8+ will support iOS 16 but I could be very wrong. and of course I think watchOS 9 will support series 5 of its watch.
