Hello Dion, I just got the Apple watch SE2 and it only would pair to my Iphone 11 if I updated to IOS17. So, I updated my phone to IOS17 but since then, I have noticed that my Iphone battery drains a lot faster, even though the batttery health and charging capacity is still at 100%. I have turned off many features on my watch and phone. Is it normal that the Iphone battery goes down faster when paired to a watch?

@TechBookByDion

Hi Christine, there are two parts to it. It connects with your Iphone so it needs bluetooth which requires some battery (the last part of your question). Software updates bring new features and in general require more battery. Normally that is addressed in later updates (IOS 17.1 etc). You can wait it out or reset your phone. At times that does the trick. Sorry for the late reply. Happy Holidays, Dion

My iphone battery runs down fast when Bluetooth is turned on, even when my iPhone is “sleeping”.

I have the Ultra 2 and I love it. However, the learining curve from apple devices is never the same. If you start with an older iPhone, the go to a newer one, there is a curve. Then when you go to an iPad, there is newer and bigger curve. Now when you go from the iPad to the Mac, the learning curve doubles (this is the same if you go from a PC to a Mac). Now I hve found that the curve to the Ultra2 watch is harder because there isn't a help screen to walk you through and even in the watch app, it is hard to find all the solutions EIther way, I love my Ultra2 and MacBookAIr M2 chip. Great technology! Love your videos.

Dude! Get to it already!

I just subscribed to your KZread Channel and was looking for a video on the different Apple Chargers and Cables and couldn't find one. As a matter of fact, not very much useful information available that is understandable for us non tech savoy senior citizens. You might want to offer information on these issues, i.e. is it ok to charge an Apple Watch with a MacBook 87 Watt Charger? A video explaining what the different chargers do and what you can and cannot use them with would be very helpful for an old geezer like myself. Also, indicating the differences between the cables i.e. USB, USB Type-A, Type-B, Mini, etc. It's very confusing to say the least. Also which cables work properly, i.e. Apple Brand or Ankler or some other off brand. Thank you in advance for considering my request. I wasn't sure what would be the best way to contact you. Happy Holidays!

@Street-geng The algorithm measurements that apple provides is more accurate than most of the competition.

This is good info... You pointed out a couple of battery savers that I had never thought about (particularly the complications data). However, it seems to me that you missed out the most important one: WiFi. So long as your iPhone is withing bluetooth range, WiFi is really useless. On one my old watches with an waning battery, the one simple change of turning off WiFi double my battery life. Instead of having it shut down for lack of battery in late afternoon, it was able to still have 40% left at bedtime. BUT... if you like to use your watch to unlock your Mac, then this feature won't work if you turn off WiFi.

I use my AW6 always in Power Save Mode (+ Sleep Mode at night)- gives me all I need (vibrating notifications and wake up alarm) and it lastst more than 3 days…

@jemwell My favorite Apple Watch feature is its ability to track fitness related metrics. Before having one I used to hold my Iphone with me on one hand to count my steps. Even then, sometimes it would not accurately log my stats. Now that I have it, I no longer need to worry about all that. It's so convenient. I love it. ❤️

The battery life is my favorite part coz it saves you the stress of having to charge regularly

I just got my series 9 watch today and charged it to 100% and within 3 hours it was at 10% which is why I found this video. I feel like I need to return this watch as defective given advertised time is 18 hours. Is my experience normal? If it is normal I will simply return for a refund as charging after 3 hours is unacceptable or do I simply have a bad unit?

@TechBookByDion

Ай бұрын

battery life depends on many factors, but going from 100 to 10% is in most cases not normal. Did it change after applying my tips?

I don’t mind charging frequently as I’ve paid $$ for these features. Why would I turn off these if I paid $$ for?

Something I do as this one single button. I hit airplane mode for most of the day. It turns off all notifications, WiFi, cellular and Bluetooth. I don’t use it in the car for car crash detection but when I get to work I’ll be at 98 percent. It is in airplane mode all day still tracking all health features. When I get home at 530 pm 8.5 hours later it is at 75 percent. Easy!

Great video, got some insights from it. Your comments regarding the heart measurements are a bit misleading in my opinion. Yes, the watch will continue to measure your heart rate but even without known disease it makes sense to leave the notifications on for irregular rhythm to detect such condition once it arises. 9:57
