My very old laptop running on XP and Internet Explorer 8 is almost dying therefore I want to switch on to an Apple product. Due to my total blindness I rely only on voiceover/screenreader. I don't know the difference between Mac Bookair or Mac Bookair Pro, etc, etc. I will be very grateful if someone tell me which Apple laptop is really suitable for a totally blind person. Thank you for your help.

Hello,
Although I do not think I want to upgrade to an iPhone 7, I want the better audio experience that comes with the lightning earpods. Does someone know, if I buy the lightning earpods, will they work with my 6S? In fact, will the airpods work with my 6s? Thanks!

I need to buy a pair of hearing aids and would like to is Costco for more reasonably priced models. Unfortunately, I am finding that the third-party apps are not ADA compliant and user-friendly. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations of which model will work with my iPhone? The choices seem to be between resound, Phillips, or sonic. Is there a specific make and model that would work best?

Hello.
I just purchased the Magic Apple Keyboard today and it's working great. I've noticed that I can't review my text when typing in a comment field on this site. I can use the right and left arrow keys, but the up/down keys do not give me any information. I have forgotten this device in settings, but the problem persists.

Good day, does anyone have any experience as to whether one can use an Apple Pencil with the Magic trackpad? I am using a MacBook pro 2015 and the current version of OS.
Thanks

Hi all,
I am new to the forum and wanted to check in and see if anyone had heard if there had been any updates on the Apple pencil for blind users. I remember a call out for use cases for the pencil and thoughts on how it would best work for blind people. I see the new version has arrive with USB C but not sure its worth a try yet. Signing documents would be handy if it could recognise boxes for signing and a double tap could enlarge the box to full screen for signing then double tap to confirm could be a simple use. Interested to see what has happened. Cheers

Hi,
I'm searching for a few answers to the following questions for a totally blind individual.
1: does NVDA nonvisual desktop access (free screen reader) work with itunes?
Is it fully compatible making itunes fully accessible? Need to know this to know if I can access iphone applications on itunes independently with NVDA or if I need to upgrade my current screen reading software if I purchase an iphone.

Today, Endgadget reported that Apple may not include a charger with the next iPhone release. Yes, I have several iPhone chargers. That's not the point. If I'm going to be paying $1,500 plus for the new iPhone 12 Pro Max, which I plan on buying when it comes out, it better have a charger included in the damn box! The same goes for all iPhone models. This skimping of Apple to increase its profits is beyond ridiculous. First, it was the headphone jack, and now this.

Do we think VO will work on an Apple silicon laptop from the start?
I think we do and I happen to need a new Mac!

I am getting an Apple Smart Keyboard along with iPad 9 gen. I would like to know if there is a description of the keyboard from top left all the way to the end of bottom right. Never used an Apple Smart keyboard so do not know all the keys due to fact that I am Windows PC.

I'm thinking about getting Apple Watch 6. Could you share your opinions about 40mm vs 44mm?
I'd imagine screen size doesn't matter much for VO users like iPhone screen size?
In that case, should I go for 40mm and save some bucks?
Thanks!

Hi all. I'm considering an apple watch finally. The only difference I see is the SE doesn't have blood oxygen or something like that. besides that, I'd go cellular because I honestly don't see the point of having a watch on wifi. I don't have a fabulous connection at my home, thanks to the rich morons who don't want an "eyesore" tower but are fine being snobbish bastards. As for watch apps, I don't stream much although I have an unlimitted data plan so that might help.

I lied. Okay, not exactly, but my very first smartwatch was a ZTE Quartz which I briefly paired with my old OnePlus 5t. It was so slow, so unresponsive, so unusable that I returned it the very same day. Now, more Android smartwatches are shipping with the requisite gig of RAM they so desperately needed, better chips, and a more competent software suite. However, the experience put me off of full-featured smartwatches so much that I trudged along with my trusty Xiaomi Mi Band 3 for the next 2 years, right up until I couldn’t use the inaccessible companion app anymore.

I currently have an Apple Watch series 3. I was wondering if it would be worth upgrading to the new series Apple Watch 5? It seems like there were a couple good upgrades from series 3 to 4. With series 5 the big story is the always on watch display. There were some other minor enhancements. Just wondering if I should just hang on to my series 3 or get the new series 5 Apple Watch.

I'm planning on buying my first iPhone and Apple Watch as soon as the iPhone 12 drops. So far, the Series 6 hasn't given me any reason to buy it over the SE. For those who formerly owned a series 4 or 5 and upgraded to the Series 6, were there any noticeable improvements in the performance of Voiceover? Were there any substantial gains in battery life? Does the faster charging make any difference in the way you use your Apple Watch?

Hi,
TO go along with a possible iPhone I'm looking at watches.
Watch is a fair bit cheaper - is the extra of the 9 worth it? It has the cool features like double tap, another year of updates since I'll be keeping the watch for as long as possible, but still.
I could also just get the SE, how worth it is the stuff the more flagship ones offer anyway? I think it offers more sleep tracking ability, some other sensors etc?
Curious on any thoughts from blind voiceover users specifically.
thank you
