    Does anyone feel unsafe wearing the Apple Watch?

    Just got an Apple Watch Sport for Christmas - the title of this thread is curious to me - why would anyone feel unsafe with it? I certainly don't.

    Do the reminders work well on the Apple Watch?

    The notifications can be set to mirror what you have on your iPhone - so, yes, if you setup the reminders as you've outlined they will also show up on the Apple Watch - the only caveat is if your paired iPhone is unlocked, the reminder will have notified you there so it won't also notify you on...

    What is the dang problem with the battery life in my iPhone 4s??

    Something is wrong with the phone - while I can appreciate the multitude of comments indicating that it may be this or that - the bottom line is that you got a new replacement phone and the battery life is notably worse. On a similar note - I've had my 4S since last November - last week...

    calendar alerts

    Two other options: 1 - If you make the calendar event an All Day event - you do get an additional option of one week before. 2 - Setup a Reminder and pick a date - you may want to do this in addition to the calendar entry so you're calendar is blocked and you see it.

    I'm putting Siri on hiatus

    I find myself using Siri more and more - one of the handiest features is to ask "How's the traffic" while driving. it not only launches Google Maps with Show Traffic but it sizes the map just right so I can see my entire commute. I also use the feature to read incoming text messages - it...

    iPhone 4s and Blackberry 9900

    Here is a thread I started after moving from Blackberry to iPhone. http://forums.imore.com/iphone-4s-forum/226555-my-first-50-days-my-iphone-4s.html I admire both but cannot argue facts: I use my phone as a "workhorse" and I don't see me moving off iOS anytime soon.

    Add-on lenses for iPhone

    I like the Olloclip but wish there was a telephoto lens included too. Are there any add on telephoto lens that is not fixed? In other words, it allows you to zoom in and out? All the ones I seem seem to be fixed only. Thanks.

    Siri knows another person using my phone?!?

    Nope - that was not the case - he didn't have my phone at all - he just took it to restate a question - Siri replied and he didn't even catch that Siri on my phone referred to him as Bob. I'm guessing it recognized his voice since it relies on a server connection and our phones were very close...

    Siri knows another person using my phone?!?

    The oddest thing just happened the other day - I (Dave) car pool with a friend of mine (Bob) who also has an iPhone 4S. While driving to work, I asked Siri a question - it didn't reply - my friend took my phone out of my hand and re-asked the question - she replied "I'm sorry Bob . . .". How...

    Speed Dials?

    Without using a 3rd party app you only have two choices: 1 - Assign a favorite 2 - Use Siri to dial the number (you can also update the contact with a nick name or relationship so you can use commands like "Call mom" where you have your mom's contact entered and specified as your mom in the...

    Transfer photos from iphone 4s to PC

    Two questions - 1) First confirm that you have pictures in Camera Roll not just Photo Stream (just want to be sure). 2) If you do, in Windows you can right click on your iPhone (along the left side where other "drives" are listed and you should be able to use the Import Photos option. I use...

    Normal?

    I got my 4S when they first came out - last Oct/Nov - no rattle at all.
