Yes, but does it work for kids with the first gen cellular Apple Watch SE with family setup (no iPhone)? Or is my son going to be locked out or have to use/lose a keycard since he doesn’t carry a wallet?

I can’t tell how big it is without a banana for scale…

A story that only a white male could have told. Come on Apple Insider.  You can do better than that. Where are the minority reporters?

Will cellular enabled Apple Watch’s using Family Setup finally get a functional HomeKit App?  Right now my son can’t do anything with our HomeKit devices because he doesn’t have an iPhone, just the cellular Apple Watch.

A $329 replacement phone in an Otterbox Defender case should last more than 5 months (2 more than the 90 day warranty).  Apple is re-selling junk.

Nice video. Has Apple blown you off when you brought it to their attention?

Yes, they did blow me off.  It took 4 days talking to 3 specialists and a supervisor.  The 1st person had me do a complete restore which didn't help obviously, the 2nd person told me to take it to Simply Mac to swap it out as it would be covered.  The Simply Mac folks needed an exception code from Apple which he didn't give me.  So I called again and the lady read through the case notes and said that she needed to transfer me to a Supervisor so that I could get the exception code.  The supervisor pretended like I wasn't transferred from the third person and was confused.  He read through the case notes and said they couldn't do anything as it was out of warranty.  After much complaining on my part for wasting my time at Simply Mac he said he would need to call around to make a decision.  He ( Carlos Garcia) finally called me back and told me they couldn't make an exception as they will only do one in your lifetime and apparently I used it on my Apple Watch.  I think the products and phone support have definitely gone down hill.  I'm not sure why I'm sinking so much money into Apple Products when they last just a few months regardless of how you take care of them.  Watch out buying a replacement 6 or 6 plus as you don't really know the condition of the refurbished phones.
