Ipod Nano

Four or five years ago I tried to download an audiobook to the Apple Watch and I gave up. I saw that it would take hours so I gave up. At the time we would download podcasts to our laptops or phones, and play them once we had them stored locally. The same is true of audiobooks, especially since audiobooks can be hundreds of megabytes.

A Different Age

That failure, half a decade ago resulted in me never trying to play audio books or podcasts from my watch, and yet it is the most rational thing to do. it’s rational because when you’re at home, walking around, listening to a podcast and going from room to room, having an apple watch and airpods makes more sense than an iphone with a tethered connection. At the time airpods were still young. I don’t remember whether I had them yet.
