Re: Mark on iOS14, iPadOS14, and Scene Descriptions
There is some kind of feature in iOS 14 which will speed up having the “use passcode“, if you’re on a phone that has only Face ID. So there is not going to be touch ID on the iPhone 12 I am extremely sure. They put this new feature in 14 to try to help with the mask situation.

Re: Mark on iOS14, iPadOS14, and Scene Descriptions
Hi Mark, I agree with you about the image descriptions. On one hand it's kind of cool that Foiceover can offer them, but they really do get distracting in my opinion. FWIW, when I installed 14 on my iPhone 11, image descriptions defaulted to on. Go figure. :) Cheers, Donna P.S. I hope you're right about the 12 having a touch sensor. I almost bought an SE for that very reason, but was worried that it wouldn't have a good upgrade path, so decided to hold out. > On Sep 18, 2020, at 11:01 AM, M.

Mark on iOS14, iPadOS14, and Scene Descriptions
Hello Family, 1. I installed iPad OS 14 on my 2017 iPad Pro 10.5 tablet. Several of the new features of iPad OS 14 are not available on this model. However, the VoiceOver Scene Description feature is available, albeit a scaled-down version, and was set to on, by default. This feature drove me crazy because it kept saying something like "triangle or diagonal" almost all the time when viewing items in a list. It took me what seemed like forever to find where this feature was located in the OS. I found the setting under VoiceOver Verbosity. I turned the feature to off but doing so did not disable the feature until after a restart of the device. 2. I installed iOS14 on an iPhone 11. Strangely enough, all of the scene descriptions were set to off, by default. 3. My primary device is my beloved iPhone 8 Plus. The 8 Plus has been on the market for quite a while and, as happens to all devices, sooner or later, installing the latest OS begins to slow down the responsiveness of the phone. So, I am not going to install iOS14 on my 8 Plus until after hearing from various people on this list, that doing so will not cause my 8 Plus to slow down. I am also not going to install 14 on my 8 Plus because I am planning on purchasing an iPhone 12 when it is released; assuming that it ships with a Touch ID sensor, as I strongly suspect that it will. If the iPhone 12 does not include a Touch ID sensor, then I will try to hold out for another year in hopes that Apple will bring the hardware feature back on a later model. 4. Finally, my beloved Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus has an in-display Touch ID sensor / Home button. I am hoping that Apple will include the same or similar feature on iPhone 12. However, given the way that they have implemented the new Touch ID on its latest releases of iPAds, all bets are off. Just have to wait and see. 5. I would like to host another Zoom group discussion this Sunday so we can talk about all of the new Apple software and hardware features and devices. If I can manage it, I will send out a notice early Sunday morning. I hope you are all doing well. Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
