Who owns the airpods pro? I have the originals but have been thinking about the pros for a while. When I bought the originals was an Amazon black Friday so now might be the time.

Only reason I'm really thinking of upgrading is the awareness feature. I walk quite a lot and use maps and soundscape, usually with one ear in. Just wondering if anyone can tell me if the awareness feature is good enough that you could walk with both in and still be safe?
Thanks in advance.

Curretnly I've a Human BrailleNote as a Braille display on my iPhone, however because of portability especially, I'm wanting to get a Qwerty Bluetooth keyboard (Logictech 380 model); by portability I mean for instance, I'd need to carry my Apex, plus the cable&charger, whereas with a bluetooth keyboard, I'd need oly the keyboard itself, since it runs on AA bateries. Thus the question is is it worthwhile buying myself a qwerty Bluetooth keyboard when the BrailleNote Apex already works as kind of a Bluetooth Braille keyboard?

I currently have an iPhone8 which I bought in July of last year when my SE first gen started eating battery. Now they just came out with the SE2020. I was kind of holding off when I bought my iPhone8 for this phone but back then it was only roomered and I couldn't hold off do to the battery drain. I was thinking of paying off my phone as I'm still on a payment plan for it and buying the SE2020. I'm kind of on the fence about it though.

Hi all, so its IPhone upgrade time, I'm a voiceover user and can't decide between the IPhone 13 or 13 pro. (The mini is out due to lack of battery cases available for purchase) I don't care about the 120MHZ display refresh rate on the Pro as I have no sight what-so-ever. However, the two main differences I'm thinking about are the better camera setup on the Pro, and the extra 2gb of ram (6gb vs 4gb) that the Pro has over the regular IPhone 13.

Hello.

This is something that has been happening for a bit now. My MacBook Pro with Touch Bar sometimes goes black when starting up the system. I'm running both Mac and windows with bootcamp. Any suggestions?

Since recent updates the trackpad is super sensitive. It has become frustrating to type or use keyboard shortcuts as I accedentaly brush or touch trackpad and my curser is moved elswher in my document or on a different part of the screen. How can I turn the trackpad off? I have looked at system pref. Would be super useful to have a shortcut to turn the trackpad on/off.

Is it possible to use the trackpad on the Magic Keyboard for iPad Air / Pro with VoiceOver in a similar way as on the Mac when trackpad commander is enabled? Are the standard VoiceOver gestures recognized on iPadOS?

Hello,

Not sure how it is outside the US so you may want to call your provider. But those in the US, AT&T, Verizon and T Mobile are having a promo. You can trade in your Iphone 6 16GB and up for a new iPhone 7 32GB. You will need to sign a 24 or 30 month contract and pay for the tax. IF you prefer, you can pay a little more and get more storage or a Plus. So in my case, I am going from an iPhone 6 16GB to an iPhone 7 plus 128GB for less than 10 dollars a month for 24 months.

Hi Guys, This might be better under the "iOS App Discussion" forum, but I'm posting it here for now and the Editorial Team is welcome to move it if they feel I have categorized incorrectly. Before the BARD app launched I was using a Victor Reader Stream, and still occasionally do, though the iPad's battery life is just as good for me.

Hi All,

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this question, but for the past 2 days I've been having trouble getting the app switcher on my iPhone 5s to come up when I tap my home button twice. Is there a different way to pull it up?

The phone did fall off of my pants pocket onto a cement parking lot as I was getting out of the car this past Saturday, but this problem didn't start until Sunday and there are no other problems so I don't think the fall caused any damage. It did pop the belt clip off but that was all.

I’ve been having a big problem with typing on my iPad lately. I’m using a Smart Keyboard. When I type I in the middle of a sentence, it somehow doesn’t register me pressing shift (maybe because I’m typing so fast) and I don’t know because VO doesn’t say it any differently. I submitted my work to a website like this and have had to carefully read through about a thousand words with the rotor and **still** probably missed some. Could someone give me advice on how to prevent this in the future?

I've written much here on buying wireless hard drives.
I got two to choose from. lacie fuel or wd my passport wireless.
I want the wd my passport, it has Everything I want. sd card reader, very much file sharing, easy to stream videos etc
It also has a built in Power bank.

Hello,

I purchased the Logitech Keys-To-Go Keyboard yesterday for my iPad. I turned it on and paired it just fine. The problem is i want to pair it with my iPhone, and the instructions say to press and hold the bluetooth connection key for 2 seconds, to put the keyboard in pairing mode. Does anyone have this keyboard? If so, where is the bluetooth key? The instructions were not much help.

Thanks.

Hello,
Does anyone know when the inexpensive Vivitar bluetooth headphones are on?
We just bought a pair of vivitar bluetooth headphones and since I am totally blind I can't see the flashing light.
And can you hear Vo through them?

Hi,
Looking for an App to use with blind students to teach touch typing using a Bluetooth keyboard paired with an iPad.

I've heard this come up a lot. I have an iPad 2 and I usually use it in landscape node. When typing with the on screen keyboard or using Fleksy, the size is just perfect that I can almost trick my fingers into positioning themselves as if they were working on a hardware keyboard. I have small hands, so this works well for me and is a great feeling. I've heard this is not the case with the mini? Do people use theirs in landscape mode to type? Do you find the screen too small in this case?

Has anyone had luck on changing your airtag batteries? They say you are suppose to hold down the back and twist counter clockwise. I've tried this with 2 thumbs as well as a rubber jar opener as suggested by apple support with no luck. I don't understand why apple did not make their battery backs with a coin slot, I guess that would have been too simple. I could probably have one drilled but not sure if that will mess things up.

I'm having a weird issue while trying to pare a bluetooth keybord with my IPad air2 running 15.3. Whenever I press the pare button on the keybord I get the paring message asking me to enter the code and then not a half of a second later I get the paring unsuccessful message. How can I enter the code when it won't even give me a chance? lol. I tried turning off the keybord and turning it back on, toggling off and on bluetooth, restarted the IPad and still same message, it's like the paring code and the pare unsuccessful messages are both coming up at the same time.

Hello all. I am new to the applevis website, but have been browsing and gaining a lot of knowledge from this site for a number of years. I recently came across a strange issue while using my iPhone 5C and my apple bluetooth keyboard. I am unable to type in any edit field, whether in safari, an iMessage or text message. I can use the onscreen keyboard just fine, but my bluetooth keyboard does nothing. I can use all other navigation commands with no trouble, however. I have reset the phone a number of times, replaced the batteries in the keyboard, all to no avail.
