I will stick to my first complaint for the record.
A phone which stops functioning because the manufacturer changed something is no excuse.
Gordian Knot.

The Apple watch however is completely useless to old people except for the accelerometer which caught her fall injury at home.
One single app.
That alone was worth the price......

There were other similar wearable devices, but iWatch was the only one with the bling which worked everywhere using telephony instead of local bluetooth.

It's too bad a hundred tiny crap appppppppppp buttons fill the screen and makes that watch otherwise unusable.

When phone calls became scrambled garbage the entire system (both watch and phone) becomes unusable.
Gordian Knot.
