Speaking of security, I seem to recall, in IOS 7, in the major release from 6x to 7, that there was a security breakage. Here is an example where it is more secure to stay with the older version. These developers are in too much of a rush to upgrade their OS. I think Apple wanted to get this out along side their new phone and rushed things too much. Plus, when things go bad, it is harder on those of use using the adaptive software we need to even use the device.

I could not agree more. People that just sit back are not helping us at all. Perhaps if we all updated and showed our interest in getting things fixed it would all happen a lot quicker and the likes of Appple may concentrate a little more on the voice over side of some great software. Everyone to their own I guess. -----Original Message----- From: Shaun Oliver Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2014 6:06 To: 'OS X & iOS Accessibility' Subject: [Bulk] RE: iOS 8.0.2, to Upgrade or Not? I may be seen as confrontational with this response, but, I'mnot concerned with that. What concerns me, however, is the arrogants displayed by people who believe they know better than they who've coded the operating system we're discussing. Regardless of accessibility bugs, which aren't insurmountable, I might add, Each new IOS update includes security fixes to plug holes that were found in the last revision and were picked up too late to be included in the cycle. Irrespective of these bugs, a good number of which, have been addressed, to a certain extent, to suggest that people not upgrade so as to maintain useability, in my opinion is arrogant and gauche and utter folly. To suggest you have no issues with security in a previous revision of IOS is again folly. It only takes one misplaced tap to introduce malware to the system or open up a back door to be exploited by someone with little else to do than annoy the rest of us. If you want total security, you won't buy a smart phone. If you want moderate security, you won't connect it to the internet. If you want relative security, you'll stay on top of updates. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Timothy J.

I have not experienced some of the voice over bugs that have been widely talked about. The pros outweigh the cons for upgrading.
