Hi all, I'm thinking about upgrading my phone from an eight to either the latest SE model or the iPhone 12 mini. Like most of us on this site, I do not need or want the fancy camera stuff. So my question is would the better phone be the latest SE or the iPhone Mini? Thanks all in advance for advice and recommendations.

Hi guys,
So as the title says, I am confused between purchasing the AirPod 3, the pros and or the pros second generation.
Mainly want to get them for no lag whilst using on Bluetooth, the spatial sounds, sound quality, good mics background noise cancelation during calls.

Hi everyone. I've just used a BRAILLE display device, type B.Note 20 from EUROBRAILLE.. The problem I found was,: I can't make the BRAILLE screen connect on my iPhone 13 Pro Max iOS 15.6. Initially the device was connected, it said ?Connected", but the Braille screen display remained blank. Are there friends here who use B.Note 20 too? Thank you for the solution provided.

Hi there everybody!

I'd like to get myself a half-way accessible and Atmos-capable home-theater-system, which I could directly connect to an Apple TV 4k Without any TV connected in between. Does anyone of you know of such a system and if yes, would it further be possible to directly control the speakers volume with the Apple TV remotes volume buttons?

I am using garage band on the iphone and am thnking about getting the ik multimedia irig keys portavble keyboard to use with garage band. My iphone 5s has a lightning connector. IfI purchase the irig keys with the lightning connector will it work on my iphone 5s and will I be able to monitor through the headphone jack on my 5s. I have heard that using any audio device wth the lightning connector on the iphone t5s disables the headphone jack on the iphone. Does anyone have any experience with using the 5s with the irig keys?

Hi,

I've been using GarageBand for iOS quite a lot these days due to the added accessibility features in the latest version. I like to play its instruments using my MIDI keyboard, which I connect to my iPhone X using the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adaptor.
The issue I'm currently experiencing is that I'd also like to be able to connect my headphones to the iPhone, and possibly additional devices.
Does anyone know if there's a hub or something that will allow me to do this?

Thanks.

Kelly

Hello, I am doint a bit of research, as I will soon be purchasing an iPad. I am finding this site extrememly useful in providing most of the information I need, but I do have one question which I have not seen an answer to: Is it possible to connect more that one device to the bluetooth simultaneous, for example a keyboard and a Braille display? If this is not possible, asre there any other options for connecting things like this to the iPad? Thanks for your help K

Hello:
One of my colleagues is looking to connect a PayPal card reader to his iPhone using the lightning port. The problem, whenever this connection is made, Voiceover thinks a headphone is connected and goes silent. We've tried pairing the phone with a bluetooth speaker, but can't seem to get VO output to go through the speaker. How can we get Voiceover output to go to either the phones speaker or to the bluetooth speaker when the card reader is connected?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Jim

Hello,

I had some devices, but not a MacBook yet. I am going to get one, but I would like to read your experiences with your Macs especially, but also about your Windows Laptops.

Hello, everyone. I find myself doing something I never thought I would. Due to my lightning EarPods breaking, and to me having to replace them at least once a year, I am now contemplating buying AirPods. I never really wanted to have to leave my Bluetooth on, but if it means not having my wires breaking on me? You bet I'm up for it! I have never owned a Bluetooth set of earbuds, but the fact that I like how EarPods fit me and how simple the pairing process for the AirPods is, I figure I'd love them.

Hi all,
firstly I hope everybodies well?
Secondly I have a Amazon fire stick but due to not being able to access apps except netflix and disney plus I am looking into apple tv.
Now I have an iphone but can only do swipe left/right up and down plus doubble tap the rest of the time I need to use my Orbit reader 20 Braille display. So my first question is does the new apple tv remote rely on any other gestures such as using four finger gestures.

Appreciate hearing pros & cons on a Mac desktop. Not a studio. Iā€™d like to use excel or Office if the app is accessible or by using a Virtual - VM. Not sure if I have that right. I am a voice over user; once upon a time ms Office /jaws user, now retired. I like my i pad & i phone; our adult children track us in Mexico via FaceTime, email & messaging, so no switching from Apple.I need to keep up on some financial/budgeting items and I miss doing extreme sudoku which are saved somewhere in i cloud. This Mac will also be used by sighted hubby.

Good evening all. I am considering buying a new macbook, mainly for writing and office purposes. I must admit that new macbook or macbook pro have some features I do not like, (the new keyboard sistem feels a bit weird, any usb ports included), so, I am considering a macbook air. But, in your opinion, is it too much outdated? Has anyone tried to install a virtual windows machine on an macbook air, and is it powerful enought to use it? And last but not least, must I go for the i5 or i7 procesor? Does voiceover response better with an i7? ANY opinion would be welcome!

Hello Applevis peeps,
I am looking for a viable replacement option for my Mid 2011 MacBook Air.
Even though it still works fine for me, I have had it for 5 years and know it will eventually need to be replaced.
I am considering getting an iPad Pro because it is cheaper than the Air, and from what I understand I can do a lot of the same things on the Air that can be done on the iPad Pro.

Hi, considering converting to a MacBook air from my current laptop. Never used a Mac before so just looking for any useful help/guidance for a complete Mac novice.

I've read some of the guides on here which are great, but my first real question is, is it possible to set up a mac from fresh with voiceover, or will I need some sighted assistance? Thanks in advance for any replies to this post
