Apple Hardware and Compatible Accessories

Hello. I am debating on getting a Bluetooth keyboard for my iPhone XR. However, I want one that is ergonomic and preferably contains a full number pad. Can anyone recommend something that fits my criteria? There are a gazillion reviews about Bluetooth keyboards out there, but hey, I'd rather go to the experts. :) Thanks in advance.

Since developing an interest in idenitying birds by song, I have been searching for a good but not cpstly Bluetooth shotgun microphone to use with N iPhonw. I did not think it would be so hard to find one.

What I want is a shotgyn (unidirectional) handheld style and has a button to start and stop recording.

Many I saw on Amazon are labeled a video mics. I only want something for audio. Any suggestions? Thanks very much.

Hey all,

Ever since I installed the latest update to my iOS this has been happening. About every 10 minutes I have to press pause on my Bluetooth speaker or any other connected Bluetooth device that I have. It stutters constantly for about 10 seconds and then stops. As if it was being jammed or near a microwave. Anyone else experience this?

Using iOS 16.5 and iPhone 13. I connected a speaker that I was using in my 12 pro to my 13 pro iPhone. In the past I was able to play music from the speeker and VO came out from the iPhone. I am not able to do so this time. Someone suggested I go to bluetooth, and info. I did and selected speaker but VO still comes from the speaker. I recall another way but not sure what it was. Want to play music without VO coming up from speeker.

Hi,

I'm planning to buy a bluetooth speaker I'll be using it for my iphone and ipad I'm just not sure what to buy and I think it would be best if I hear it base from people who already had and using it and would love if the bluetooth speaker can work using Siri.

Thanks.

Hi.
Some months ago I bought a Little Bluetooth headset for my iphone.
the problem is that there is very much delay when using the phone.
I can't type sms or anything like that because of the delay.
the same thing happened when I tried my friends speaker. creative muvo.
there was so much delay so that I couldn't use the phone with voiceover at all.
what can I buy that works?
Does the bose qc35 have such a delay?
I tried them a Little some time ago, sounded good.

Iʻm looking for a wireless headset - or a set of options if Iʻll need to pick more than one.
Stereo would be ideal, and in-ear is better. Something I can wear whether Iʻm running or traveling or just doing stuff home - nothing too big or expensive looking. And one that doesnʻt fall out of my head when Iʻm running. I remember vaguely reading about a model that has the handle go behind you head, on the side of your neck, a while back - that type of configuration sounds ideal.

Hi all, just wondering a couple things. First of all, trying to buy a pair of bone induction headphones. Secondly, debating on which is better, bluetooth or wired for the use with Blindsquare. According to the manual, the user should have wired headphones, but I'm being told bluetooth wireless ones are better. I found a pair of wired ones I liked for $43 on Amazon, but not sure if those versus the bluetooth ones will work better. HElp!

Kia ora, all. I've seen a lot on these fora about the QC35 but nothing about the 700. Does anyone use these successfully with their iphone? The music app is pretty useable now (I have the Home speaker) so I thought to get these while they're on special. Any comments appreciated. Nga mihi, Kylee

I'm trying to talk myself out of spending $70 more on the Bose Frames Tenor than the Bose Frames Alto. As far as I can tell, the advantages of the Tenor are:
* Better battery life
* Quicker battery charging
* Ability to interface with Siri
* Marginally improved audio (I didn't notice much different on the display models but wasn't listening too closely)
* My wife says the Tenor look better on me (can't underestimate the value of that!)

For those of you who have these and use VoiceOver, I have a question or two.

First, if you have them paired and are only using them through the day for VO, do they turn off? If they time out to save power and come back on when your phone starts speaking, I am fine with that. I just don't want to have to turn them on whenever I check my phone.

Hi all, I just stumbled across something that sounds incredibly interesting. Bose are releasing a pair of sunglasses in spring 2019, They seem to have bone conduction built into the frames and they have a 9 axis gyro built in so they know which way they are pointing, couple this with GPS from your bluetooth connected phone and they claim to provide custom audio experiences. I’ guessing this would be something like museum guided tours or historical info on heretage sites or something, just my guess. Anyway thats not the point.

I came across the Bose Soundlink Mini 2 SE at Costco today. I've read the post about how many people here enjoyed the Soundlink Mini 2 (non-SE), but there doesn't seem to be anything on this new model. YouTube videos say that the sound and design are the same with the key differences being longer battery life and USB type C. Has anyone checked out this new version? Does it have all the same functionality and compatibility with Voiceover?

Hi everybody.

Hi all! I am looking into upgrading to a new iPad mini 4. I have used a 1st generation iPad mini with a bt keyboard case for several years now, and I am looking at options for a keyboard on my new iPad mini. Have any of you used the mini 4 in a keyboard case with VoiceOver? How has your experience been, and which keyboard are you using? Thanks for all of your help!

Hey Guys,
I encountered strange new bug in8.02. I have a philips DS3000 sound dock. When i connect an iPod 5g, it deactivates my triple click voice over function.
Not sure if just DS3000. I reported to Philips and Apple.
