Hi Rich, I have really enjoyed watching your videos, and have started to share them with many of my clients. I worked for Apple as a Creative (trainer) for 4 years and started private one on one coaching on Apple applications and devices after I left Apple. Most of my clients are seniors (I am a senior myself), and I think your videos will help my clients better understand the lessons I provide. You have built the PERFECT channel in my opinion, there are so many seniors with technology who don’t know how to use their devices (including computers) who will benefit from your videos. Thank you Rich, best wishes to you.😊

Also, do want to mention that people can establish the Facetime call through email addresses, besides phone number. Thanks.

@@RichBowlin The SE 3 is a little workhorse, I can tell you that. Old form factor with a Ferrari engine under the hood! 5G (sub6), Deep Fusion, Smart HDR4, Neural Engine, A15 Bionic chipset (same as the iPhone 13 series), darn good camera that takes excellent photos and videos, Apple Photographic Styles (like the iPhone 13 has and the 14 will have), decent battery life for the size of the phone and *yes* , I like the old form factor better than the newer form factor...rounded edges, thinner, etc. However there is no 'Night Mode' for low-lit photography and videography and there is no 'Cinematic Mode'. Both of these features are standard on the iPhone 13 models. But boy does the SE 3 itself *scream* with speed!

One step that is left out is what the receiver will see and what they need to do. You mentioned in the last example that your daughter hit her Facetime button. Is that all that the receiver should do for any Facetime call? What should the receiver expect to see on his/her screen? Most tutorials show only what the "senior" needs to do to make the call.

Hi Rich, I am new subscriber and finding many helpful tips. I am an insurance broke and have been a PC user because many company interfaces did not work with Apple. That is no longer the case and I am moving to an I Pad Pro for my daily driver. Having an ear phone jack is important as I can use my Rode Video mikes. Sorry to see that feature go away with ne’er models. Will look forward to a video showing how you edit on the I Pad Pro, connecting to printers and maybe faxing from the I Pad and connection to external monitors. It takes a lot of skill to understand a subject so well that you can make it seem really simple. Like our W,C. Clark playing Chicago Electric Blues at the Continental Club. TX Jack, Austin
