So I promised an email over the weekend giving my final opinion on IOS 16.1 that you will all have the opportunity to install on Monday. Dictation is working a lot better, however you must use the two finger double tap to start and stop. I've always found the dictate button and double tapped

Being asked for password each time I get a free app

Hello. I am being asked for a password each time I want to download a free app from the App Store. I thought there was a way in the iPhone SettingS to turn off this behavior, but darned if I can find it. I am also being asked to confirm with Face ID, which I am fine in doing. It is the constant

Hi Sieghard, I remember the days when one needed to go to a phone store to have them cut the full size sim card to the Nano sim size. My first experience was in 2012 in Jordan. When the store tech told me he is going to cut the sim card, I got very nervous.somehow I thought that he may screw up

I don't like disagreeing with Sieghard, and I'm not really disagreeing, but I'd have no problem recommending a two year old phone or even older. If the person realizes that they'll be getting that many fewer updates then it's just a decision on whether the money they're saving is worth the

It is entirely personal preference, but for the most part I would not recommend somebody buy a phone which is already 2 years behind. I think it's totally OK to buy last year's phone and given the less than mind blowing changes between the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 I can understand why people who

Hi Chris, I remember when the iPhone 5S first came out which had the Nano SIM that I went to the Philippines and had a really hard time finding a Nano SIM since most of the carriers and devices still used full-size SIM's or Micro SIM's. I ended up finding a place where they told me that a

I too agree with Alan, Chris and Rich. For me, I use Microsoft 365, as Rich points out. I get 1TB of storage in One Drive, and I just have the Documents folder in Windows synced with One Drive. This means that I can always go to One Drive to see what ever is also in the Documents folder on my

This can be changed in Settings. You can get to it in the Watch app on your phone, or through Settings on your watch. Just go to Accessibility / Voiceover / Speak Seconds, and you can choose either Always or Never speak the seconds when displayed. Hope this helps. Chris > On Oct 22,

I also agree with Chris. I understand the desire to be able to manage all content using your iDevice but I'm not convinced it will ever be totally practical for those of us dependent on VoiceOver and accessibility. Personally, when I got my first iPhone in 2013, Dropbox was the cloud service I
