OK Ronni, I¹ll check the app versions. Since the ipad runs a newer IOS I do tend to download the app updates as Apple indicates. I thought that, in the past, if an app version was not compatible with the iPhone then iTunes DID NOT apply it to the phone (only the iPad).
I¹m not sure I use enough of the ³smarts² to justify pending over $1k on a new mobile phone just now. I could certainly live without the Telstra 24x7 app ;o) The Pebble app would be more of a problem I¹ll have to check how well it is working function wise the pebble cam app still lets me take photos with the iPhone from the watch and shows the camera view on the watch so the devices ARE communicating.
