Recently, on a special Take Control Books / MacVoices live event on YouTube, we spent “About An Hour” with Jeff Carlson, the author of Take Control of Apple Watch, taking questions from the audience and discussing the focus of his book. Jeff discusses why he would tell anyone to buy an Apple Watch, how to choose between the cellular vs. wifi models, and HomeKit and the Apple Watch. Jeff also shows off Apple Watch mirroring as he demonstrates features, as well as the effective use of Siri on Apple Watch.
