Hello. I'm planning to get a bluetooth keyboard for christmas. What is the best keyboard?

Hi everyone. Im looking for a Bluetooth keyboard to use with my iPhone 4. I want a keyboard that I can control my phone with not one that is just for typing. I am thinking about the freedom pro or the I-connex. What do you think?

This has me stumped. I have a Bose Bluetooth Sound link color series 2 speaker and I am in a bit of a spot. I am looking for a very good Bluetooth speaker that will allow me to turn up the volume and feel bass in it as well. I have a Jabra Solemate speaker that does well but, it seems small for sound. I would be using this on my Mack computer with Vlc, or the Vox media player. I'm sure this is going to come at a high price no doubt. Whenever I turn up Vlc's volume, the Bose Speaker distorts the sound and it cuts out a lot of the time.

Hello everyone. What do you guys recommend for keeping the battery in my i Phone 11 as healthy as possible for as long as possible? I have done google searches on this but get a lot of conflicting reports and articles. My battery is at 99 percent health. I normally charge my phone when it gets to 20% but only once or twice let it get down to 5% or so. My understanding was that was the right way to care for the battery? Some articles say to leave it plugged in or charge it 75% or so. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this. I want to keep this 11 for a good 3 or 4 years or so.

Hi I am learning how to code using the Swift Playgrounds app and I need recommendations on the best computers to use for the blind. Windows or Mack, must be under $1000, portable and must work with Bluetooth. Also I’m learning the python code too. Any help is appreciated.

What are the most common iOS devices for gaming? Since the iPod touch and iPad 32bit are so close in price on amazon and I can get the latest model, I'm not sure if I want to buy an iPod touch or an iPad for gaming, particularly for blindfold games. I have an android device but that is just for my phone. But I want either an iPod touch or iPad for gaming, my really big itunes tv shows and movie library that just keeps growing! much better braille support, note-taking, and all that other stuff that iOS can do that android cannot.

For the past couple of years my go to headphones when out walking have been AfterShokz Arropex. These are now getting a little tired. I'm also finding myself increasingly frustrated by their poor call quality and some of the other limitations of bone conduction.

This has me in the market for earbuds which offer the best level of ambient awareness.

I recently tried the new Sony LinkBuds for a couple of days, and unfortunately the silicon wings that hold them in place aren't a comfortable fit for my ears.

I know the answer will be rather subjective, but, what's the best external battery for iOS? I'm not looking for a case, I'm either looking for a power station, or an external battery that you plug into the phone, (please recommend batteries for the 5 or newer for that one option please.) Thanks for any info anyone can have on this matter!

Hello.
I'm looking for a good hardshell case for the MacBook Pro 14 inches released October 2021.
I want something that is molded to the MacBook, so it'll properly protect it as well as give me access to the ports.
I currently use a tech Evo MacBook Air case that has 2 pieces of plastic, one that goes on top of the screen and one that goes on the bottom, both of them snap in place to create a protective layer that reaches around the top, sides and back of the mac.

My poor iPhone 8 Plus is about to die, so I need to upgrade, but I’m not sure which iPhone is the best for a totally blind person. I’m not interested in the iPhone SE. I would like an iPhone that has decent speakers and a decent camera for those times when I need to ask for help through an app or for when I do decide to learn how to take pictures or video. I want the iPhone to be the newest model possible so that I don’t have to upgrade again anytime soon. I am totally blind, although I am very familiar with voiceover.

This hasn't been asked since 2021, so I figured that I would put this up. The time has come to say goodbye to my loyal iphone 8 and upgrade. But there's been so many versions to come out since then that I'm not sure which to get. Do I go for the latest and greatest, or a slightly older version?

To clarify, while I am upgrading from the iphone 8, I do have a recent ipad and so I am used to not having a home button.

Hi all, I'm a developer and business analyst on a project building an intake check-in kiosk at homeless shelters in a major city. We are building the check-in app in iOS for iPads and plan to use a tabletop kiosk. Along with that, we need to find a keyboard that is both accessible and usable with iOS. Do you have any recommendations? We probably need to use a USB keyboard, to ensure a continuous connection.

For context, this is the link to the table top kiosk we will be using:

Dear readers, I am a student in Product Design in The Netherlands. At this moment I am researching mobile communication needs for blind and visually impaired for my university. I am already surprised by what I have read the last days. People using Twitter and Facebook. I am wondering what apps you use and social networks. I also wonder what hardware you prefer. Is the Ipad really a miracle for blind and visually impaired people? Thanks for helping me.

Hello Apple Vis,
I'm in the market for a new home router, and wondered what you guys recommend for a router that has an accessible companion app?
I've used the NetGear router, and even when I try and use it with my Netgear account it keeps giving me issues. However, I will say they've made some progress on their companion app.
I"m looking for something better.
Let me know what you guys recommend.
Chuck

Hi everyone I'm wondering what is the best USB headset to buy to use with my Mac, I don't want to do blue tooth I just want USB because I want plug and play. I'm kind of thinking one ear piece too so I can still hear what is going on around me. Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hi everyone, curious to see what people have to say on this. Between the Android devices I was able to sell, and money left over after bills are paid, at the beginning of the month, I plan to build my Apple ecosystem back up. Sold everything thinking I was going to enjoy Android so much I wouldn't be switching back. Boy was I wrong. Not my best move. lol But anyway, my budget is about $700. I plan to grab a new iPhone SE3 at the beginning of the month. I plan on getting this new from my carrier, as I haven't seen any better deals on it. It's running $179 plus tax.
