This comes up every now and then.

Short answer is that the list is what folks make of it.

Long answer is that the name is probably a bit of an anachronisim at this point. The list was founded years before iPhone OS became iOS and then became accessible with VoiceOver. So as more and more folks became iOS users the overlap with the existing Mac Voiceover users was an obvious extension. Today we have another shift as folks embrace the latest Apple gadget into the ecosystem and the marketplace of ideas shifts into high gear. We'll find discussions of various scanners, headsets and other devices folks hook up to their machine. A few even venture Jaws questions as more Windows folks come over to the Mac but bring their virtualized windows as a safety net as they come up to speed on voiceover. In some ways the list is self selecting or self limiting. If somebody dives to far into Windows land or goes too far down a rabbit hole nobody will bother to answer and the thread just dies. So for me it's all about Macs and their fun cousins that make the whole family rich and interesting. Not sure we're there yet but Apple's push is for the cloud, rather than the desktop, to be your digital hub. The expectation is the desktop/laptop will fade over time such that continuously connected devices will be our main means of consumption and composition.

Yes. I too have received notice that my two watches will be arriving tomorrow, 
despite one of them previously being marked for much later. Makes a nice 
change, that—I was way too late to preorder the iPhone 6 Plus. Guess the secret 
is: get in early.
