Apple Hardware and Compatible Accessories

Hi all,
I’m currently rocking a Series 4 Apple Watch, so it’s about time I looked at upgrading this year. I seriously considered getting a Series 9 last year, but decided to hold off and see what the Series 10, or perhaps Series X, is like in late 2024.
However while the software on the Apple Watch is clearly very good, I can’t say I’m a huge fan of the hardware design, especially the square shape. So I wonder are there any good alternatives out there that can be used alongside an iPhone and have an on board screen reader.
Cheers,
Dave

so, I just stumbled on the hardware review by "A Woman" and Scott's AccessWorld review of the Dot Watch, a Braille smart watch. I really want this thing. Unlike an Apple watch, which doesn't really add anything to my personal use cases, the Dot Watch would allow me to check incoming calls, texts, and security camera alerts while I'm in a meeting or teaching a class. Because sometimes, I gotta know, and it has to be the tactile equivalent of a glance. Filling that need, the Dot Watch or similar seems like it could become a basic piece of blind tech.

Hi folks!

First, I'd like to apologize if I’m not creating this thread in the right forum, but I cannot find a general hardware related forum. Knowing headsets are Apple compatible, I’ll post this here, but feel free to move this post elsewhere if needed.

Hi,

Have read some hints on-line that the "ENDEAVOUR Bluetooth Multimeter" might have an accessible app. I already have a standalone, talking multimeter, but the concept of having one that can go in my iPhone accessory kit is interesting.

Hello,

I heard that Hooke Audio will release a new version of the Hooke Verse recording headset in april.
Does someone have more informatiion about the specs of this product?

I’d like to try Street Fighter, but I don’t think I manage to play very well with onscreen buttons.
So, has anyone tried one of those gamepads or game controllers? Any preferences? Are they at the same time with Apple TV and iPad?
I’ve also heard that some Sony Playstation controllers are capable to connect via Bluetooth with iOS devices. Does anyone know anything about that?

Thanks in advance for any help, folks.

Cheers,

Xavier

Hello. This is Jane.
I use a mid 2012 MacBook pro and ned of a charger. it's the L-style one.
I bought one from apple for $60 and it lasted about 11 months.
I bought one from Amazon for $24 and it lasted me a month.
I take my mac to school everyday and need a stirty charger that will do ok with the ocational cord bending.
To bad, we can't get any old laptop charger or USb to charge it up.

I never use the iPhone with an external Bluetooth keyboard, but i’d like to have a way that I can enter text instead of dictating sometimes. Does anyone here have any recommendations for a specific product that works well?

hi, has anyone pre-ordered, or is getting the XR? i have the 7 at the moment, but the XR just sounds huge! i am due an upgrade now here in the UK with EE as part of the annual upgrade program, but have gotten used to my 7, and it runs quite well under ios 12. so unsure what to do, but feel the XR, is the route i would take.

Their website for support is. http://www.ultimateears.com/en-us/megaboom/support The number to contacts ultimate ears is +1 646-454-3200 The Twitter to reach out at is @ultimateears I have been using the UE MEGABOOM bluetooth speaker for The past three months and I find it to be an incredibly enjoyable experience. It has great audio and the bass response on it is very good. However I have run into a problem which I believe other users of this Bluetooth speaker should be aware of. .

Hi All!

I bought my wife an iPhone 15 pro for an early Christmas present, and now we're trading in her old iPhone Xs, but we have around 6 or so battery cases for her old iPhone Xs. does anyone want the battery cases, anyone who lives in the US?If so, please email me your mailing address, and I'll ask my wife to mail them to you. Smile. The cases all work great. They double your battery life or more.

My email address is bbh at mind dot net.

Smile. Merry Christmas!

Joy!

Hi All,
I recently purchased the 2020 iPad Air and the magic keyboard which Apple released earlier this year. This is the one which magnetically attaches, and also includes a trackpad.

I recently purchased a new HomePod mini for our kitchen. After spending an entire afternoon trying to set it up, I came upon the following article, which I wanted to share, as it could potentially impact anyone considering the purchase of a HomePod or HomePod mini. Feel free to share with anyone who might benefit.

Buyer beware! Apparently Apple thinks it’s just fine to sell these things. I plan on returning mine, and will only buy another if the people at the Apple Store can definitively prove that it is running a more recent software version.

Hello everyone,

I am having trouble entering text into edit fields in Safari. When I try, I turn quick nav off, type, and the keyboard types multiples of the same key. For example, I might type an a, and it will type a about 15 times. Before I go to the Apple Stoe, does anyone have any suggestions? The keyboard does not behave this way in other applications.
