New iPhone, smart speaker Alexa, Apple Watch

Hi.   Just getting back to you about devices.   

Get the new iPhone XR which is $300 cheaper and has 90% of the same stuff as the XS — but has the bigger battery:

Also: get the Amazon echo dot which is cheap at $49 or get last years model for $39 (speaker isn't as good). Amazing tech voice driven like having a virtual assistant.

New - TotalMount Echo Dot (3rd Gen) Hole-Free Wall Mount (Black) - Eliminates Need to Drill Holes in Your Wall https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JBHCHBS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_kHRYBbG2CNJZM

Echo Dot (2nd Generation) - Smart speaker with Alexa - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DFKC2SO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_cDRYBb38MQBDV

I may try the Google Home device too which is a competitor but may have better search functionality.  

In general all of these smart speakers are really helpful to the elderly which is what we're fast becoming.   Try it, you'll like it.  Wonderful in bathroom when I'm taking a shower and want to listen to news or music and just call out commands!

Lastly I got the new latest Apple Watch ⌚️ which also has better health monitoring, fall detection, and automated emergency services calling if it detects that you fell and got hurt and are unresponsive.   You can also call emergency by holding down the side button, if you set that up.  Great stuff!

Enjoy!

Best,

Lee
