I knocked the power point and my iphone didn’t charge overnight, so now it’s completely flat and dead.

But my Series 8 watch (no cellular, GPS only) is still receiving and sending SMS (not iMessage) messages.

I’m very surprised and curious if anyone can explain how is this possible?

    When your phone is off it’s still running basic functions under power in the background.

    Perhaps the answer is in that feature somewhere? I wouldn’t suspect anything ominous.
