Good grief - anything for a headline. They’re not Dick Tracy watches for cryin’ out loud.

“They’re not Dick Tracy watches “

Can’t you access email, send messages, etc.? (Asking, ‘cause I don’t know.)

‘Come and take it,’ tweets Cruz about his phone

Senator TED CRUZ — or at least, his social media manager — mocked the ban, tweeting an image of an iPhone that says “come and take it” after he was accused of tweeting during the proceedings. But Cruz hasn’t been spotted with an iPhone on the Senate floor, and a Cruz spokesperson later confirmed to The Verge that he didn’t bring his phone onto the Senate floor.

Taking photos, videos, or audio recordings has been banned in the House of Representatives since 2017, with violators paying up to a $2,500 fine starting on their second offense.

Liz Warren, ‘Princess Summer Fall Running Mouth’ stayed away from the electronics and just sent smoke signals.

“They’re not Dick Tracy watches for cryin’ out loud.”

Actually they kinda are like Dick Tracy watches... You can send and receive email and text messages, and make and receive phone calls. Most require being in proximity with and connected to the iPhone via bluetooth, or else connected to wifi in order to do these things, and it’s pretty obvious when you’re doing them on the Apple Watch. If you have one that has it’s own cellular service all the functions are available w/o the iPhone, but it’s still obvious what your doing.

I don't know about that -- mine blows his out of the water. Built in phone, texting, etc. Poor Dick only had 2 way voice.

Uh, actually, they are these days. You can make calls and text to and from Apple Watches these days. No iPhone required. There are games you can play on your Apple Watch too. The distraction capability is there.

Did they have aides banging on garbage cans to tip them to what the next question was going to be?

I guess you are unaware of the capability of an Apple Watch with LTE... it can place and receive calls, record, text, tweet, etc. - all without an iPhone or iPad or even wifi. It can do almost anything an iPhone can, just on a tiny screen.
