We pick up a Christmas gift from an Apple store

The photo has nothing to do with the post. It’s another example of street art that I really love. When Vince needed a new phone which would record various health statistics, he passed his old one on to me. They are Apple phones and now our son has gifted us ‘tags’ which we can attach to car keys/wallets/phones. These tags will be able to tell us where items are if we misplace them. We had to pick the tags up from a nearby Apple store and the assistant was very helpful, explaining how they worked, etc, etc. To save her manually entering some information, Vince allowed her to get it from his phone. He then paid for another small item. She thanked us and added ‘and thanks for the new TV you’ve just bought me’. She was joking of course but I thought it was pretty funny. We gave the store a very good review as we had no issues at all with picking up the tags and getting information.

Even if you lose a gadget in the house, it will tell you where it is.

i think that murals are really challenging and need to be appreciated. i don't know how i would feel about these tags. i think it can be helpful, but at the same time - it doesn't seem to safe. maybe i'm just too "paranoid" when it comes to these things and privacy. however, i hope you have good experience with them

I understand what you're saying but they are helpful if you are likely to put stuff somewhere and can't find it. I try not to use technology more than I have to but nowdays you can't seem to avoid it.

@JudyEv that's true. when i put something in a weird place, i write down where it is. but that can't always be of much help, i guess

Apple stores have always been good to me in person and on the hone. I am glad you got the tags. I didn’t know about them, that sounds like a great idea. I need to look into that.

I've written a bit more about them now. Our son is the one who knows all about all these helpful gadgets and he tried to keep us up to scratch with whatever he thinks will help.

I love that mural. Magpies are renowned for dive-bombing kids and adults during the nesting season.

I need something like that, but for Android phone! Funny about the TV! You never know, she may have gotten a new TV with some promotion the store was having for employees!!

She might have benefited but I think she was just having a joke with us.

Before I opened your post and just saw the thumbnail photo, I thought it was a Christmas creche, and thought, "Why would an Apple store be selling them?" Mr Magoo has nothing on me...

That's so true. One of the good things for Vince is reminding him of his 6 o'clock pills night and morning. It's reasonably important that he has them at the right time and it's very easy to forget if you get distracted. .

Our son knows all about these sorts of technological things. I haven't heard that other brands have these.

Vince's doctor accepted the ECG on his phone when his own machine had broken. It's amazing what it can tell you.

The guy who did this picture has painted murals all over the world but he comes from this region.
