There is a huge difference in research of a medical nature and of other types such as computers and transportation. I do not know what the time frame is for cochlear implants but in the States, FDA approval surely is slow as the proverbial turtle.
Might be why I do not follow trends. If I hear of something new that I need today, and find out it might be a year or 3 down the pike, I would not be happy. I am not that patient. (smiles)
Back to the iPhone. I use neckloops for I do not want others nearby to hear any conversation. So I have always used a neckloop. There may be times when I may not have the luxury of deploying the neckloop so I should practice using the phone without a loop or telecoil. Habit dies hard.

I’ve been thinking about getting an Oculist Rift and using that to fly a drone.

Still not happy about it, but then I’m not buying an iPhone 7, so it’s OK, for now. Gotta love the Apple pundits continuing to be completely, ahem, tone deaf on the issue. Scott, I was talking more in the way of degradation to today’s computer speakers over the use of complex physical changers. Yep, there are crazy workarounds, but there’s still no direct path from digital to your speaker system or even boombox; either you’ve got proprietary interfaces to the network or sky-rise vertically integrated systems that know about very specific services, but no general-purpose network interconnect that’ll work no matter the digital input source. What we want is for today’s computers and smartphones to be able, either wirelessly or with digital AV interfaces, to benefit from the big speakers. That can’t be too much to ask, can it? I’ve been looking into all the various solutions, especially Sonos, but I’m still feeling pretty meh about it, really. Sure I can build a component system and cable it all together and use a remote to switch components, but why bother when I have a working wired and wireless network and all my stuff—everything I care about—is all digital now and will become increasingly so as I rip it from analog? I just despair that at this golden time of opportunity, all the vendors are going their own separate ways to screw the consumer with closed protocols and meshes and cordless standards. As for SD card storage, the only thing I’ll say is that Apple would rather you pay their prices than wipe your bottom with money, so they don’t offer you the choice. But realistically, the SD interface is slow, and if it existed at all it would only be in an adaptor form factor anyway; there is simply no use case for permanently accessible storage that’s external. Sure I’d love it, but I think Apple are probably right here not to include the slot, all the same. Even on Android a lot of people use SD cards purely for data, and not for apps, because the speed difference is noticeable. What Apple needs to do is expose SD cards using document providers, and make the file system more useful by making it accessible through iOS and from outside from a trusted computer or over the network. That, I think, is far more practical and useful, IMO, and would make the grudges about storage far less legitimate. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
