This is so much potential, just need Apple Cash in the UK, oh and more Cellular available for Apple Watch plans. 🙄
You know what is funny about this comment? I got beat up here on MR for asking about parental controls for an iPod touch eons ago."...set up an Apple Watch for another family member, managing access to various features and capabilities and receiving reports on activity..."
big brother - family style
I have to say:
Thanks Mom!
Great doing business with you. 🙌
is an interesting response to chores LOL
not a feature I need (or even available in canada) but I’m sure helpful for many
Family Setup offers other helpful tools for parents and kids, with Schooltime and Downtime features that offer controls over when and what kids can do with their Apple Watch, kid-focused Activity rings, and more.
not sure if getting parental advice from macrumors is the best choice.do not pay your kids for doing stuff they should be doing either way.
The dad must be JPow.$20?!!! Wow! I‘m a Millennial and I used to only get a dollar for doing my chores as my weekly allowance.
That’s way beyond the rate of inflation!!
That and I don't even see why a kid needs a smartphone. Maybe a cheap phone to call home.I just plain and simple dislike the unnecessary child focus here. I don’t want my kids to have visible things that they potentially get robbed for. Apple thinks we all live in a fairytale...
Besides: watches and kids are a combo that make little sense. I have a 10 year and a 12 year old kid, and both have had smaller watches that have been long forgotten. In general, I see barely any kids wearing wristwatches, for obvious reasons of higher damage and loosing potential, but even more since kids plainly prefer not to have bulky stuf around their tiny wrists. The Apple watch gadget may well be more diverse in functionality, but it’s iPhones that serve their needs plenty well.
I get the notification in Wallet touting this feature, but whenever I click "Start now", I get this error message
"Not supported. The feature you selected is not supported."
Anyone running into an error message like this? I tried restarting my phone to no avail.
Don’t underestimate bullies. My bullies would have just forced you to buy them their lunch or something and that’s how they’d get “paid” instead.This is bad for bullies...
How are they going to beat up now kids for their "lunch" money?
Are they expected to drag the child to the POS or steal their Apple Watch and torture the child to give up the Apple Watch PIN?
It will work on their iPhone provided they have iOS 14 installed. They can also add a regular debit card to Apple Pay as well. Current makes a full on kids debit card controlled by the parents that can be added to Apple Pay.I'm really hoping Apple Cash will work on kid's phones as well. Mine has a hand me down because she needs it for medical reasons, and it would be really great if I could give her some emergency spending money directly on her phone. Plenty of times (pre pandemic) she had time between school and practice that she and her classmates would go grab something to eat, and having Apple Cash would have been much better for her than having to carry cash.
A lot of places but Home Depot, and Walmart.I'm wondering where they are going to use it since so many places don't accept it.
