Slowly moving from the Fitbit Versa to the Apple Watch

| January 14, 2025

It is taking me a while to learn how to use my new Apple Watch Series 10 and tinker with what apps I want to be draining the battery. With my Fitbit Versa 2 four days of battery life was the norm, but as expected, the Apple Watch is only good for a day — […]

SiriusXM on an Apple Watch Cellular a no-go so far in 2025

| January 8, 2025

Listening to SiriusXM directly on an Apple Watch, especially a cellular model, is not straightforward due to several limitations (disappointing for me) and I have failed at my first attempt to port from one app to another. The current test for some “music” is to try going back to Spotify or Pandora (photo) and use […]

Tech Friday: The Apple Watch Series 10 requires me to adapt

| January 3, 2025

Take this post will a grain of salt since I’m new to using an Apple Watch. That said, I’ve been an Apple computer user since 1986 and iPhone user for over a decade. My wife is on her second Apple Watch, my best friend on his third and my son Taylor has been using an Apple […]

Tech Friday: Is there a way to get SiriusXM on an Apple Watch?

| December 13, 2024

The iPhone16, US Mobile auto top-off and bigger photos and video

| October 26, 2024

One of the biggest changes and needs now that our family of iPhones takes larger photos and video … and are now 5G capable … is the need for more data. I’m no longer satisfied with our “pooled” 6GB USMobile plan. I sort of knew this would be a problem, but for most of the […]

Tech Friday: Apple’s yawn-worthy 2023 Wonderlust event

| September 15, 2023

Perhaps it is just me paying attention to the rumors and knowing the announcements that were planned at Apple’s annual September “new iPhones” announcement event … but the iPhone15s (and Apple Watch 9) upgrades left very little to get excited about? I’m not saying that I won’t be upgrading my aging iPhone 7plus this year, […]
