Tech Friday: Is there a way to get SiriusXM on an Apple Watch?
Posted By RichC on December 13, 2024
Although I don’t have an Apple Watch like Brenda, but I think one is coming my way for Christmas now that I have a modern iPhone (my Fitbit Versa 2 is “still ticking after taking a licking” — old Timex joke). One of the features or apps that does not exist, is an app for SiriusXM.I personally would really love to be able to work in the yard, workshop or walk the beach or woods without having to be tethered to my iPhone 16 Pro Max … but again, the SiriusXM app doesn’t exist.
But … according to a quick look for work arounds, it “might” be possible to figure something out. Call me skeptical when it comes to Artificial Intelligence (AI), but I’m still hopeful.
Come on Apple and SiriusXM … if the Alexa Echo smart speaker can do it, surely there’s a way to develop an app for the cellular version of the Apple Watch?
