Hi, Isaac and all.
I'm afraid I can't confirm your experience, either with two input
sources or with connecting a braille display. I have connected several
braille displays to the iPhone, including a Braille Connect 12, and have had
no issue connecting the display without sighted assistance. I can recall
nothing that was not spoken, and the connection generally went smoothly.
Note that I did try the unit through the braille connection method in Voice
Over itself, and not through connecting as if one were wishing to use a
bluetooth headset.
Similarly, I did not have any issue connecting a standard bluetooth
keyboard while the braille display was connected. The keyboard I used was,
however, not Apple but a no-name brand, it shouldn't make any difference,
though, because the bluetooth profile used should be the same. Both the
keyboard and the braille display worked for input at the same time. It may
be worth connecting a few other keyboards to the unit while a display is
connected and seeing how this goes.
HTH.

Hello Sonia,
I've just come from the Apple Store. I hooked up a brailleconnect12 to the
iphine 4. Now it isn't easy to do this. there'are several steps that're not
spoken. You really need the expert assistance of the Apple people. So why
don't you let it rest a while and plan to go to your local Apple store and
let them help you with it???
Just a suggestion. Obviously you're not getting something right in the setup
process.
I didn't try to do it alone. I had the Apple guys do it! It worked well.
Isaac
