Ditching your iPhone for an Apple Watch Ultra? ONE MAJOR PROBLEM

Here's why I wouldn't make the switch just quite yet.

I’ve been using my Ultra as phone 90% of the time for 3 months with zero issues. Is the best it has even helped get completely away from social media and I feel so much happier now.

Are you using the watch standalone plan or is it pired with a phone that you left home?my ultra is stand alone and gets green bubbles just fine no phone required

Brandon, thank you so much for your video and this conversation 🙏🏼❤

Again, so that everyone can understand, can you confirm the following?:

To send or receive an SMS/MMS from a cellular-enabled model of Apple Watch, your paired iPhone must be turned on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network, but it does not have to be nearby.

That’s weird because I have no issues at all of my Apple Watch Ultra

normal messages dosent work, you have to leave your iphone conected do cellular in your home, so it can work !!!!

[Bubba]

That’s because your using it connected to your phone, using it without Wi-Fi, connected to ur phone or etc, just cellular data and won’t have those issues

[Drkbadger]

If you use cellular you won’t have any issue at all.

People are so brave leaving there homes without there iPhones. What a revolutionary idea. We live in such a shallow world

Thats actually apples fault for still using sms instead of rcs which is much more efficient and even quicker that apples imessage. They do this to sabotage android users

I have a nickel allergy from my apple 🍎 watch and I need to see a doctor 👨‍⚕️

Wow ignorance abounds. RTFM dude. This has nothing to do with android and everything to do with you not understanding.
