@Trainman2001 posted:My wife and I splurged the other day and finally got Apple Watches and new iPhones to go with them. Our daughter wanted us to have the watches since we're now at the age where falls can occur and the watch will sense this and alert the right people.
What a coincidence, I’m about to do the same thing. I’m just trying to decide if I should go through the Base Exchange kiosk, Costco kiosk, Apple or Verizon. I do know if Verizon will deal on 2 phones and it’ll probably mean an upgrade to our service level. The only difference is my wife won’t be happy unless she gets the same phone, so it’ll be a Pro Max for each of us. These will be our first iPhones, so I’m debating between the 128Gb and 256Gb versions. We have 256Gb iPads, so it’ll be no problem to offload photos to the iPads, but I tend to buy the next level up from the base model. I plan on a 44mm watch for me and we’ll see what she wants, probably the same. I gave up wearing a watch a long time ago, mostly because the band always got sweaty in the AZ heat, plus the Velcro wore out, etc., but the camera control and medical safety makes it something I think we need now. We got our stimulus check today (for deposit Wednesday), so that’s pretty timely.
