Hi Simon,
No, I won't bother correcting you. There were accessibility problems with
Apple apps and services over 10 years ago. But, as I mentioned, it is part of
the release process in current Apple-land products to ensure accessibility from
the onset. Do they get it perfect? Probably not every time, but it is not an
after-thought.

Hi Tim,
I don???t think that was harsh,
I thought it was right on the money.
I???ve not yet found an apple app or service that wasn???t accessible through /
with voiceover.
Infact correct me if I???m wrong,
Apple services / products work better out of the box than other products it???s
only in the passed 12 months give or take that Microsoft have given us the
ability to install windows without sighted assistance.
I???ve been installing the mac os or IOS systems on my devices since I got in
to apple products.
11 years for the computer and 10 years for the iPhone etc.

Subject: Re: Apple news plus service
Hi,
While you are welcome to your opinions, and welcome to express them as you
wish, I struggle why so many of you keep bringing up the accessibility question
when a new Apple service or feature is introduced. If my memory serves me, all
the noise that has been made over the last five or six years about possible, or
probable, inaccessibility of a new Apple service has been squashed upon
release. No Home button, what are we going to do? TouchBar instead of
function keys, how will we be able to turn VO on? There's more if I felt like
taking the time. Consider this, Apple actually thinks of accessibility every
time they come up with these new things, it's not an after-thought. Apple News
was accessible prior to Apple News Plus and I see no reason in the world that
it would lose that accessibility just because some new features and content was
added.
Yes, go ahead and wait if that is your preference. I just don't see the need
to spew uninformed chatter without checking it out. Sorry, if this was harsh.

I just have ne point to quibble here? Wy pay for an Apple service when in at
the newsline can give you much of the same information if you???re really after
technological things. Do we even know if it even accessible. Most Apple has
guaranteed accessibility to the blind! Until then I won???t be signing up. In
appy Newsline it gives me what I need and I don???t have to worry about
fighting with technology in order to read it. Thanks but willtake a wait and
see attitude on this one.

I signed up for the free month trial of Apple news service. I am a bit baffled
regarding the list of magazines. I know it???s only the first day this is out,
so perhaps not too many have signed up for it yet. But I don???t understand why
it would appear that I am not seeing the full list of magazines. When I go to
the end of the very long list, I???m stopped in the case of my iPhone ex are
with Southern living being the last magazine. They are in alphabetical order.
On my 7+, which I updated first, I got as far as sunset magazine, which should
come just after Southern living I guess, and no more. I do not see the Wall
Street Journal listed, although it is a newspaper technically and not a
magazine. Same for the Los Angeles times. I can???t see articles from those
papers, but not the whole paper. I was under the impression that we were going
to get access to the entire thing. The magazines look like the full deal. But
those papers are not in the listing. I wonder what I???m missing. It looks
quite accessible. When you double tap on a magazine title, it downloads and you
can see the full listing of the titles of articles and features. Then you
double tap on one and you go there. So that part looks good. But I???m just not
understanding where are the rest of the magazines. Nothing beginning with T
through Z?
