Episode notes

Apple's watch OS is on watch OS nine and it can't be paired to iOS 15 phones. Apple engineers use the watches this way instead of like, you know, the extra buggy level of family setup where I don't think anybody who works at Apple uses that feature. Oh, and family setup is super buggy with cellular, which is the whole point of it. A lot of times you just can't reach the person. Some of it says the fault of watch OS and the weight handle cellular. Anyway, that's that's my rant. Family set up. Goodbye.
