I just checked the Apple Store app here in the United States, and they are still selling the iPhone SE, at least for now, anyway.. Looks like the 32GB is $349.00, while the 128GB costs $449.00. - Original Message - From: Sieghard Weitzel

Wat OS 4 workout app

My husband gets my series 0 watch and I get the new series 3. I mostly like but but I'm a bit confused in the workout app. It set a target for me on the elliptical which is way more than I ever do to date, and it didn't have anywhere for me to change that. I also had trouble ending the workout,

No, you can't. You don't insert any Sim into any of these watches. It has something inside built-in. So you need your phone and your phone number. So presumably, if you switched to a different carrier, all you would have to do is repair the watch with the phone. I'm not sure about that, but I

Clarification on my workout problem

OK. I found the apple watch manual online. It implies that when I select a workout, I will get to increase or decrease the workout amount just like in the past. But when I select a workout, it starts the countdown for starting the workout and just takes off. So with this clarification, I'm hoping

No, but the only thing I have updated as far as an old iPad mini 2. So it's not like I use it a ton. Still, I do check the battery. And it doesn't seem to be draining any faster than it usually did. Mary Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 23, 2017, at 6:56 PM, lenron brown

Yes. It was on my iPod Touch. Once a show starts playing, there is an option that I can only find if I then pause the show so I can focus on what VoiceOver is saying. I think it is a language button. Now I can’t find it. The display has changed…. Not helpful. Richard From:
