Update, 09/29/2025: Apple released iOS 26.0.1 on 09/29/2025, bringing a fix for the issue discussed below where some VoiceOver users lost speech in iOS 26 and iPadOS 26.
Update, 09/18/2025: Apple has confirmed they are aware of the issue some users are experiencing with a loss of VoiceOver speech in certain circumstances. A fix is on the way in a software update.
The purpose of this post is to try and answer some of the questions that VoiceOver users may have before or after they update to iOS 7.
Apple has received much praise since accessibility became an integral element of iOS. Much has certainly been said and written on how this has been a life-changer for so many people, and that it has opened up a world of possibilities.
These are sentiments that it's hard to disagree with.
Apple has today released iOS 17.2 and iPadOS 17.2 to the public.
Our testing suggests that these updates resolve the following issues:
Back in March when I took a stab at comparing iOS and Android from the perspective of a blind user, Android 4.1 (a.k.a. Jelly Bean) was nonexistent and no one knew what access features it would offer. Having tested Google Nexus 7 for more than two weeks and having seen blind users' opinions of Android 4.1, I'm now in a better position to compare iOS and Android yet again.
When it comes to choosing a new handset, I can become as meticulous and picky as hell! It’s not necessarily a vice; however, if it takes more than three months to make your final decision, it can no longer be called a “virtue” either.
Today's Apple announcements, at an event entitled "It's Glowtime", were exactly what many of us expected: new iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods. We also got a release day for all the big software updates. watchOS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and macOS will all get their big upgrades on Monday, September 16.
TL;DR:
Apple released its 2025 iPhones today. I was able to preorder an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and have spent the last couple hours setting it up. While the selling point of the iPhone 17 Pro Max was the increased battery life (something I obviously have not been able to test yet), I found myself surprised and impressed in other ways.
The last couple years have been big for iPhone.
iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will be available to customers on Friday, September 18, 2026. Ahead of the launch, Apple sent me an iPhone 18 Pro for review. While a full review will come once I’ve had the opportunity to live with iPhone 18 Pro for a while, I do have some initial impressions that I wanted to share.
If you didn't know that Apple was supposed to unveil its latest iPhone a couple of hours ago or in case you had no clue about the new features in its accompanying iOS 6, perhaps you belong to a different planet! Seriously, now that Apple has introduced its 4-inch iPhone 5 with much fanfare, it wouldn't be odd to argue that it'll be remembered in the history of cell phones many years from now. As cynical as you might be, you might contend that it can be said about each and every iPhone.
In November 2025 I published my initial review of the iPhone Air, loaned to me by Apple, based on my first few weeks with the device. Now, after several months with Apple's ultra slim phone, , and following the recent addition of the iPhone 17E to the line-up, I thought it a good time to revisit it.
The iPhone Air launched in September 2025 alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. It may not turn out to be the biggest seller of the four, but it is the most talked about. Apple have kindly loaned me an iPhone Air to review, and I’ve been using it full time for the past three weeks.
This time last year, those potentially in the market for a new iPhone were probably caught up in the hand-wringing that followed Apple's decision to drop the headphone jack from the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.
12 months on, and most of us would probably look back and wonder what all of the fuss was about.
Yes, the latest rumor to come out of the mill is that Apple is going to introduce a radically re-designed, one-port Macbook Air sometime this year. It will have a 12-inch screen, a keyboard, a trackpad… and a single USB C port, along with the usual 3.5mm headphone jack. That's just one lonely little port for power, printers, external drives or card readers, USB audio peripherals, connecting your iOS devices, and any other wired connections you might need to do. Crazy, right?
This post will offer you an account of my experience with conducting the job search on iOS. I will begin with a little information concerning the pre-requisites to beginning the job search, and the changing trends regarding how businesses advertise vacant positions.
The current post will then consider the 3 primary iOS applications which I used during my job search, and I will also inform you as to the services offered by recruitment agencies and the possibility of other iOS applications specific to your location.
We invite you to join AppleVis this September for coverage of Apple's product announcements and software releases.
Apple has announced an 'awe dropping' media event for September 9, 2025.
It’s nearly time for another Apple event, and this one will formally launch Apple’s entry into the wearable sector with the Apple Watch.
First revealed by Apple last September, we’re likely to get confirmation tomorrow that the Apple Watch will be available for purchase in April.
