Re: iPhone SE 2nd Gen

[Brad Snyder]

Yes, the new SE has the latest and greatest processor.  Same processor as the 
iPhone 11/11 Pro series.

Apple e Watch Phone Volume

[Angus MacKinnon]

Sorry. I have not seen the below.

I have a Cellular Apple Watch Series 5 with Watch OS 6.2.5. I used the Digital 
Crown to call Siri and said “Hey Siri, FaceTime “Contact’s Name””. The Volume 
was so low I could hear the Caller even with my ear near the Apple Watch
. Does anyone know how to increase the Apple Watch Volume for phone Calls? 
Thank you.

Managing multiple homes in HomeKit?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Hey all,

We are in the process of a sort of complicated house move. As a result, I 
currently have two homes in HomeKit. (No, not a millionaire, yes this is 
temporary.) Right now, HomeKit is connecting to the devices at my location, but 
it thinks I'm at the other location. This could be because some of the devices 
were brought from the old location to the new one. I have two questions:
1. How do I get HomeKit to correctly identify the home where I am??
2. Can I move HomeKit accessories from one home to the other without totally 
resetting them?
TIA,
Donna

Working with Comments in Pages on the iPad?

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Hi all,

I’m playing around with Pages on the iPad, particularly how to work with 
comments, and am hoping someone has the answers to a couple of questions.

1. Is there a keyboard command to insert a comment?
2. Is there a way to have VO read comments while in the Document body?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Donna

Re: iPhone SE 2nd Gen

['Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries]

Yep, it’s a nice phone. The two issues that have kept me from getting one are: 
1, I don’t think it will have as strong an upgrade path as the 11, and 2, Tim’s 
point about the camera and AI.
