Hello Kawal,
First, I fully appreciate the sentiment of your comments for, like you, I am a
visually impaired iPhone user interacting with both iOS and Mac OS via
VoiceOver.
Second, the primary purpose of posting the articles is to keep everyone updated
on the changing policies, concepts, and general Apple technology news that,
sighted or not, affects us all.
Finally, there really is no need for an on-list debate as I will continue to
post the articles to the list and those who are not interested can simply
delete/ignore them.
Mark

Hello Mark.
Thanks for posting these articles. However, I'd prefer to know what is going
to happen to the I phone with Voice Over rather than knowing what a sighted
person will be able to do with an I phone because I don't use the phone in the
sighted way. I double tap and interact with my phone using Voice Over. So all
these things would be better if we were going to learn how to do these things
with voice over. After all this is a list for blind users. If I wanted to
know how to use a phone in the way that a sighted person did, then I could find
that out in other ways. I'm sorry but these articles in my opinion do not
belong on a blindness list like this. Many others will say other wise but I am
a blind user using voice over and not a blind person using my phone in the
sighted manner of a person who has sight and can use the phone in the main
stream kind of way.
I am not criticising you Mark but just pointing out or trying to understand,
what are these articles to do with me as I have no sight to understand all this.
No doubt I'll have started a fresh debate on this list, so let's have it as I
will stand my ground on the fact that I am a blind person unable to use my I
phone as a sighted person can.
Kawal.

7 drastic changes coming to your iPhone with iOS 11 - CNET With iOS 11
expected to officially launch this fall, it's a good idea to know just
what you're in for after you install the latest and greatest Apple has
to offer to the iPhone. The new OS is full of small, subtle tweaks,
but there are also some bigger changes that will undoubtedly take some
getting used to.
Notification Center is no more
Jason Cipriani/CNET
Well, that's not completely true. It's still there, it's just that now
it's called Cover Sheet.
Cover Sheet looks a lot like the standard iOS lock screen and works in
the same manner too. Swipe in either direction on alerts to take
action or clear them. Swipe from either edge of the display to launch
the camera or view your Today panel.
Oh, and your notification feed will be broken up into Most Recent and
Earlier Today (Yesterday, and so on) sections.
No more Force Touch for quick app switching When Apple announced the
iPhone 6 ($370.79 at Amazon.com), complete with a pressure sensitive
screen, the company also added a shortcut to quickly switch between
apps by pressing on the left edge of the display.
With iOS 11, that gesture is gone. Go ahead, press as hard as you
want. It's simply not going to work.
Time to go back to double-pressing the home button.
Drag-and-drop isn't just for iPad
Jason Cipriani/CNET
Apple touted the iPad's new drag-and-drop feature when it unveiled iOS
11 in June, but what the company didn't tell us is the iPhone has it
too; albeit in very limited situations.
In the Photos app, for example, you can drag a photo to an album
instead of tapping around.
Here's how you can try it: Place a finger on a photo until it starts
to hover. Tap on the Albums tab on the bottom of the screen (or drag
the photo to the tab). Then drop the photo in whichever album you want. Neat,
right?
NFC is open for all

the release of iOS 11.

Apple is finally giving developers access to the iPhone's NFC
capabilities instead of keeping it locked to just Apple Pay.
As developers begin to release updates for apps, you will undoubtedly
see the option to scan NFC tags to view more information about a
product or connect to gym equipment, for example.
The feature will be limited to the iPhone 7 ($799.45 at Amazon
Marketplace) and iPhone 7 Plus ($979.99 at Amazon Marketplace).
Control Center is brand new. again
Jason Cipriani/CNET
When you swipe up from the bottom of the screen on your iPhone to view
Control Center, you're in for a surprise: The three-panel approach of
iOS 10 is gone.
Instead, Control Center is a continuous column of buttons. You can
hard press on buttons for additional options, and add or remove items
from Control Center through the Settings app.
App Store has a fresh coat of paint
Sarah Tew/CNET
A long overdue change to the App Store is coming. With a more visually
appealing, interactive design, the App Store looks nothing like it used to.
The new design will highlight new apps and developers and looks a lot
like Apple Music. Only instead of songs and artists, it's games and apps.
Speaking of which, Apple has finally separated the two categories into
their own respective sections.
Screenshot tool is awesome
Jason Cipriani/CNET
The process of taking a screenshot, editing and then sharing it is
getting streamlined.
With iOS 11 installed, when you take a screenshot a small preview
thumbnail will show up in the bottom-left corner. Tap on it to markup,
crop, edit, delete or share.
