Now pointlessly enhanced with AI
I took my Series 7 Apple Watch to an Apple Store, for it was having issues with battery and connectivity. For obviously unknown reasons, this Apple Watch stopped communicating with my iPhone. Luckily I still have another older Apple Watch that I could use while having this Apple Watch shipped for replacement.
I received the replacement today. I have not had the chance to pair it with my iPhone.
At first, I thought I bought a new iPhone mini a few years ago, but no, I bought a refurbished one.
Well actually it was an iPhone assigned to one of my colleagues who preferred a smaller phone.
I’m getting an M4 iMac ready for deployment tomorrow, Saturday January 4, 2025; and it’s blue.
Some of our colleagues are traveling today to attend a memorial service for another colleague who passed away a few weeks ago. The service will be held tomorrow.
Personal note, it’s pretty cold and wet today. Thanks to the heavy fogs earlier in the morning.
A few ago I found out that Verizon was selling second generation HomePods in “Midnight” at a discount.
I ordered two of the HomePods immediately since I like the original HomePods sound than their “mini” counterparts.
Both HomePods were delivered the next day.
As of this writing, Verizon has sold out of the “Midnight” HomePods.
Did I fix it?
Well, yes and no.
Definitely I broke it.

If you need USB-C to USB-A cable to use CarPlay and iPhone 15., make sure it is a data cable.
There are some USB-C to USB-A cables that is designed for one way charging, which will not work for CarPlay.
I prefer thin and braided USB-C to USB-A cables.
Now I want Wireless CarPlay.
I just received a few UGREN UGREEN USB-C to USB-A Cables today.
UGREEN USB 3.0 Fast Charging Cable, 3.3ft
UGREEN USB A to USB C Cable, Type C Fast Charger Cable 6.6ft
UGREEN USB C Cable 2 Pack USB C Fast Charging Cable 3A USB Cable 6.6 ft
All of the cables are braided and thin, as the 6.6ft versions are thinner than its 3.3ft counterpart.
All 3 cables can be used with iPhone 15 and CarPlay in cars that only have USB-A ports.
In previous post, I tested an Anker PowerLine II UGREEN USB-C to USB-A Cable for iPhone 15 and CarPlay compatibility. Yes it is compatible, but the cable itself is thick and a bit too stiff. I’ll be using this cable as USB-C data-transfer cable with computers.
