Apple Hardware and Compatible Accessories

Hi,

I make use of the headphones Apple provides with IPhone better than 80% of my work day. Unfortunately, having them in my ears roughly 30 hours a week is starting to cause ear problems. The main problems are my ears hurt from having buds in them all the time and I am starting to get buildup. Considering that I have to use headphones that much every week, does anyone have any recommendations on a headset that works with any Apple device which will give my poor ears a rest?

Hi all. Recently, I have started recording a family event where I've had several pictures and a video sent to me in messages. For now, I have the pictures and video saved to my phone, but I'm starting to run out of space. I don't want to store these pictures and the video on a cloud service, for fear of losing them. Is there a device that I can buy for my phone that would allow me to store the pictures and video externally? I have the IPhone SE, second generation. Any help on this is appreciated.

Hello all,
I have encountered a strange issue with my 6th gen iPad. When I have it in portrait mode both the top and bottom speakers have sound coming out of them. However when I turn it to landscape, the speaker that is normally at the top of the device stops having sound come out of it. The only speaker that seems to work in landscape is the one near the home button. Does anyone have any suggestions I could try to fix this?

Thanks,
Greg Wocher

Greetings.

I have been having some strange problems with several pairs of wired headphones I’ve been using with my iPhone 8 lately.

Okay so I have two keyboards. The one I am using now works for the most parts but keys seem to do different things than they used to, for example VO+- on muy Swedish would stop or pause actions. Sometimes now that is moved to VO + on my keybioard. Sometimes that command and sometimes the other will open to label element. This is on my Apple Wireless Keyboard and it has not acted this way before.

Hey y’all
Leelon on strongly! Considering buying an iPad generation. It’s 447 Australian Officeworks, has 64 GB and that’s for the Wi-Fi model
As I don’t need a cellular connection, most of the time, I think this will be suitable enough for school use
But what do I do
Should I purchase an Apple smart keyboard with it on Apple magic keyboard with it,, what about pens and pencils for the teachers if they ever need to write stuff down real quick for me using a pencil if like PowerPoint require drawing
I know battery life is good but, yeah

Hi everyone! Lately, I've been on the hunt for a great pair of earbuds that perform wonderfully in the bass department. some of the music just doesn't sound good with balanced sound. I do have a pair of Bose QC45s which are wonderful for use at home, so I'm looking for earbuds, since they're a lot more portable.

Hi guys,
There's a very interesting article that I'd like to show you guys. The article is written by slashdot, and if you want to have access to the full report, I also provided the link to that as well.
In 2018, broadcomm will be producing chips that are accurate to 30 centimeters, even in urban areas. This will be a huge leap from the current 5 meters accuracy that we currently have in our phones.
Please note though, This sort of gps accuracy has been a thing since a very long time ago, but not in our smartphones.

Hi, I'd like to be able to listen to a podcast on my Iphone 10s while swimming. It seems like there are some waterproof headphones out there, but I don't know what the voiceover latency is like. I wish my airpods pro were waterproof! Even if I get the headphones, I would need a case and I'm not sure which one to get. I see that there are also waterproof mp3 playersbut I'm not sure about the accessibility of those either. Has anyone solved this problem?

I have a new 12 mini, and, so far, I am not happy with it. it seems to have haptics for everything. I think I know where to find how to shut the haptics off. The main question I have is about swiping up. It seems that I have to press really hard as I’m swiping to get the tones to sound. Also, when I am trying to close an app, I have to turn the phone upside down and shake it turn it right side up and then, sometimes, find the swipe up spot. Is this the way it is supposed to be, or, am I making it too hard?

Hello all,
I have a client I'm working with who has no sight and is slowly losing the use of her hands (it is now very painful for her to type)

She is looking to upgrade as she wants to use her voice more, although Siri will help her with certain tasks it obviously won't do everything.

Hi:

I want to switch from my outdated and arthritic windows machine to a MacBook Pro. My question is, which Mac model should I buy? I noticed that several people here have Mac 2013, which I know can be gotten rather cheaply from Amazon. Would it be worthwhile to invest in a Mac 2013 or should I try for a more up to date model? I'm interested in using Mojave and my computer update cycle is generally a computer every five years or so. So I want a system that will get MacOS updates at least for the next five years.

Hi, I'm switching from the iPhone SE original to the second generation. What can I expect to be different or better on the new phone? I just received it but have not yet started the process of changing over to the new one. anything I need to know before diving in? Thanks, Lou

Is there no way to do this? The equivalent of a four-finger right or left swipe? I've seen references to cmd-tab but that doesn't work for me.

Hi all,

wondering if anyone is using a synology or QNAP NAS with Mac or iOS? I need to purchase a NAS and am wondering which is better in terms of accessibility. Synology has some good documentation on their site but it's very much windows-based as it suggests a set-up based on NVDA.

thanks for any information.

Good Monday to all! Thanks for reading. I realize this post is a bit an off-the-wall topic, but I was just wondering?
Has anyone seen, or no of a case for a tablet, tablet may range between 10 and 12 inches, in in the exterior top of the lid when the case is closed, there’s a hardware keyboard visible and accessible for input?

Hello, I am considering getting a tactile screen protector for my ipad from A T guys. I was wondering if anyone has one and if it really helps find the buttons. Do you feel that the dot on every letter on the keyboard is too cluttered? I know for the ipad they only have one layout but for the phone they have a standard and an advanced layout. Also, do you think I should order a protector for an iphone even though I don't have one but I am looking into getting one soon. I already know I want the 6 or 6s.

Hi everyone. I have a question about SpeedDots and Apple’s 10.2 iPad and 10.5 iPad Air. For the past several years, the most popular iPads had 9.7 inch screens. Will SpeedDots make screen protectors for these new sizes? Or will it be deemed unnecessary because all iPad models now support the Smart Keyboard? Apple is making a lot of changes very quickly, and it’s a bit overwhelming.
