Looks like Apple's long awaited charging mat has been canceled:

hard to believe they gave up, but at least there are plenty of other options out there these days.

Do not buy an iPHONE SE this week! I just talked to an Apple salesperson who told me why. The 64G SE is currently out of stock and will be discontinued.
But next week, it will be replaced with a 128GB iPHONE SE also for $499.
So, if you ordered an iPHONE SE for $499 today, you'd actually get a 64GB model when they are back in stock Friday.
But, she told me not to buy, because if I wait until next week, the same price $499 USD will buy the new 128GB model.
The 32GB SE for $399 has not changed.

I just read a very sad article on the Verge stating that Apple is discontinuing the iPod Touch. For those of us who wanted an iPhone without the phone capabilities, this was a great device for many years. Many of us who use Voiceover don't need the full screen of an iPad and sometimes you just want a device which will not ring when you are reading a good book. As the article states, the writing for this decision was kind of on the wall as the last Touch was released in 2019. Still, I, for one, was hoping Apple would release a new Touch this year, but I guess that is not happening.

Hello Everyone,
I have an important question for oyu all and it includes the following.
I received an Apple Home Pod, for ym Birthday several months ago, it has been super amazing, it's the regular full size unit, and this is my question. Is there an App that I can download on my phone that can help me adjust the base to my liking? Also, is there an App that I can download to my phone where I can change the pitch of the music? Anyway, if somebody can get back to me, I would greatly appreciate it to no end.
Thank you in advance,

I am using a MacBook Pro and wanted an external keyboard, wired or wireless. I was looking for a keyboard that has all three: command, control, and option keys on either side of the space bar. Any recommendations?

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.

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!
