Just curious what everyones thoughts are on the IPhone SE third gen? I haven't heard much talk about it. How's the battery life? I read bad reviews about it on the verizon website. I currently have an IPhone8 which is almost 3 years old and still going strong and was thinking of upgrading because of the age and it only being supported for one more year. Other than the expanded accessibility features is it worth getting this phone?
Thanks

Just curious if anyone else has the new phone or watch yet, and if so, how they are working for you. I picked up my iPhone XS yesterday night, And I am enjoying it so far. Not having a home button took about an hour to get used to. The only slight hiccup we had, was that the Apple Store systems were having trouble here in the US, so things took longer than I expected. I also left the store with a non-working phone because I didn’t want to restore from my iCloud back up when I was in the store it’s self.

What are people's thoughts on the SE that came out this year with 5g? How do you like the battery life? What do you like about it? What don't you like about it?

I'm curious to hear thoughts on the seemingly never-ending growth of the physical size of our smart phones.
Let's look at a bit of history. The iPhone debuted in 2007 with a 3.5 inch display, which increased to 4 inches in 2012. All iPhones were the same size until 2014.
Currently, someone wanting the newest technology has to buy an iphone 15, with a 6.1 inch display. The 4.7 inch Iphone SE is available, but having 2-year old tech, may not be a good investment for many looking to stay up to date.

Hi all,
OK, so here's the situation, and I'm hoping that one of you could give me a hand as I've tried other lists for Apple and iOS users and no one was able to help. I bought ThumbJam, which is very accessible with Voiceover. I was wondering how to go about setting up my iRig Keys midi keyboard to work with Thumbjam? The Thumbjam user guide doesn't explain things very clearly, and the manual for my keyboard doesn't say anything about Thumbjam.

I am about to take a solo trip to Italy in a little over three weeks.
I am a medium-low partial with mild hearing loss.
I am trying to decide whether getting Tile or Apple Air Tags to track my luggage and to use as personal bluetooth beacons in unfamiliar environments would be better for me. Which would you guys recommend and why?
I have heard that Tile has louder tags, but I am actually wondering which Tiles are currently the loudest. I am wondering the same about Air Tags. Are there ones that are louder than others?

So my Apple Watch Series 2 is showing age. It is very laggy and battery won't go for eight hours. Please do recommend me new watch. My priorities are the battery life, screen size, and future support with WatchOS. Is the SE Series good choice, or shall I go for the latest Series 8? Is the price difference between Series 8 and Series SE is justifiable? Will Series 7 work well for me?
Thanks

It's about time for me to consider getting a new computer. Been running a Del desktop for about 8 years and it's still actually running decently for it's age, but naturally it is a bit slow. Thinking of doing the laptop and docking station thing this time around. So... The big question -- should I get a Mac this time around?

Hi there. On Friday, I finally decided to take the plunge and get an IPhone 13. I won’t fault it, the 13 is a really great phone. But why, with the 12 and 13 being similar in design, is the 12 sound quality different to the 13? I understand they’re different thicknesses and all, but come on. Is there a way, other than changing mono and stereo sound levels, to make it sound like the 12? If you do have to change mono and stereo levels, what is the best configuration to use? Thanks for any help in advance.

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?
