Re: BlueTooth

 

So happy for you Harry, great news! I have read where Apple is working on Hearing Aids through the AirPods, beyond on what they now will do.

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I picked up my new Bluetooth enabled hearing aides from the VA. My audiologist was talking about the technology and told me there is a new bluetooth in the works. He said he didn’t know how far in the future it will be but when it comes and when electronic manufacturers start rolling out products with the new bluetooth my hearing aids will be able to automatically connect to my TV or any TV with out an intermediary black box just by being in close proximity to a TV with the new bluetooth

Currently I have a blue tooth “black box” attached to the sound output on my TV and when I put my new hearing aids on top of the box, they paired automatically and voila - I can hear the TV sound through my hearing aids.

I am sure there is probably a downside to this new Bluetooth but….

Have any of you heard about this “new, more advanced bluetooth?

When you see the fan symbol like this you can usually use Apple Pay there.

Any of those RFID-type payment systems are safer than sticking a credit card into a slot or handing your card to a cashier because they have pretty good encryption for all their communication and usually generate one-time codes for thei transaction.

Re: AirTags

Harry, it works well only after another Apple device passes past your vehicle. ?One day my wife had passed another Apple device at an intersection, then the location of the vehicle stayed at the intersection for a long while until another device passed by our SUV & the location was updated. ?

It works great with patience, cellular works fine.?

Do AirTags work on wifi? Cellular data?

If I were to hide an AirTag in my car and if the car were stolen would the AirTag be traceable? If so would anyone be able to see it?

I hope this is clear. Bottom line is it worth putting an AirTag in my car in order to find it if it goes missing - for example if I lose it in a parking log? :-)
