I bought an Apple Watch so I could take my music with me when I go running, and this is now its second most useful feature.

Too bad my face id is broken because apple said it’s water resistance and I tried it for 5 mins on and off the water.🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ . Giving false advertisement. And I quote “ iphone is not water proof. But only water resistant “

I just wanted to ask what the reason is, for being dependent on wifi, to use this new feature? The watch is connected to the iphone via bluetooth anyway. And I normally have wifi disabled for my cellular transmission is much better....

Unpair and reset many times still no free space 1.6gb is used by software in s3. Do u guys have any solution to update in series 3. Very frustrating better not to upload update for s3.

Wait, I can NOT use this for Apple Pay? What a bummer! Hopefully the iPhone 13 will come with TouchID in the Standby-Button!

So what if we’re using an iPhone doesn’t have Face ID? Like the iPhone SE y’all released last year? I’d like to unlock my iPhone while wearing gloves, especially during winter

add the under display fingerprint and remove the notch and the whole complexity..

Why am I binge watching Apple Support videos when all I have is an old iPad mini 2? 🤣🤣🤣

[jasonkonggg]

Finally! Thank you for the great feature 👏🏻

How about discontinuing the Series 3 and admitting the thing is no longer capable of receiving updates? The thing does not have enough storage to update anymore regardless of how much storage you clear.

So we went from 2 additional steps to 5 plus the setup on top?
