Using the version that was updated as of February 5th; 11.19 when I searched 
for Audio Description; I found this:

Titles in: Audio Description in English

I think the person you talked to did not know what they were talking about.

Re: the iPhone 10 xr

[Mary Otten]

Well, yes. He will notice a speed increase from a 6S to the XR. As for what 
makes it the best, from the point of you of a blind person, the big difference 
between the EXR and the rest of the line is the display. And since I can’t see 
the display, I don’t care. Same processor. Better battery life. Better audio 
certainly than your 6S.

the iPhone 10 xr

[Casey]

hi okay what I would like ti know is.

For someone wanting to up grade the Phone.

From lets say the 6 s plus to the 10 xr.

What makes that phone out of the 10 line out there the best one to get?

And is the xr as big as the six s plus?

And how is the audio on that phone compared to the six s and if you 
would upgrade to that phone from the six s plus?


Would you notice A speed increase from one model to another?

Question about facial recognition

[Denise Colley]

I know this has probably already been discussed on this list but I have so
many messages to go through that I'm not sure where I'd find this
discussion.

 

I just purchased an iphone xr but don't really understand how to set up and
activate facial recognition.  I thought I had it set up once but it told me
it could not unlock my phone.  Can someone walk me through the steps and
what do I need to do to activate it to unlock my phone?

 

Another question:  if I decide to just use my passcode is there any way to
set it so it doesn't require you to type in your code each time you go to
unlock your screen?  I would rather use my passcode, but I find this very
annoying.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Denise

On the Home tab, you can pick Movies or TV Shows, then choose Audio Description

Re: Netflix

[Lisa Belville]

Hi.  I've also had this issue for several Netflix versions.  it was 
working fine in earlier versions, but no more.



Also, double-tapping the search tab lands me in a text box where all I 
can do is search, and typing audio description only brings up one or two 
pages of results.



I use my PC to do searches and add items to my list.  The PC search is 
much easier because you can search by genre within the audio description 
category, something that is impossible to do with VO in the Netflix app.

RE: Apple Varification

[Sieghard Weitzel]

It won’t stop if you always say ask me later. As the message indicates, it will 
just “ask you later”. Just go ahead and put in your Apple Id password and it 
will probably go away.


From: viphone@googlegroups.com  On Behalf Of Vicki W.
Sent: Saturday, February 9, 2019 7:49 AM
To: IPhone 
Subject: Apple Varification

Good Morning,

For some reason my mini IPad has started asking me for my ID varification. In 
other words, it will just pop up out of nowhere and say I need to varify my 
Apple ID in settings.

This just started a couple of weeks ago. None of my settings have changed and 
it's not doing this on my phone.

When given the option to select settings or "ask me later," I select the latter.

I have never had a password sign in to access my mini IPad, so I'm wondering 
why this has started and how to stop it.

Thanks.

Vicki

Comment: Apple is taking its in-store iPhone push too far by promoting upgrades instead of repairs, 9 to 5 Mac

[M. Taylor]

Comment: Apple is taking its in-store iPhone push too far by promoting
upgrades instead of repairs
By Chance Miller 
 
It's no secret that Apple has been pushing iPhone upgrades like never before
over the last several months. Yesterday, however, I visited an Apple store
to have my iPhone XS Max serviced, and I realized just have far Apple has
taken its iPhone upgrade pitch.
As anyone who visits an Apple store knows, you're first greeted by a
friendly person with an iPad at the store's entrance. I told the greeter
that I had a Genius Bar appointment for my iPhone XS Max, and she asked for
a brief description of my problem.
I explained that my device was randomly shutting down and wouldn't come back
on for several hours. As soon as I finished the explanation, the greeter
said, "Have you considered upgrading to a new iPhone recently?"
I was holding my iPhone XS Max in my hand, but the Apple store employee
clearly must have thought it was an iPhone X. I responded by saying,
"There's an iPhone newer than the iPhone XS Max?" and she quickly laughed
and tried to play it off.
A source tells 9to5Mac that this is a new policy at all Apple retail
locations. Employees are being instructed to push for an upgrade instead of
repairing an existing device. In some stores, the source says, an employee
is tasked with pitching iPhone upgrades to Genius Bar customers as they wait
for appointments. Other stores have the Geniuses themselves to pitch an
upgrade. There are also now demo units on support tables at many stores.
Bloomberg reported something similar earlier this week:
Apple asked retail employees to promote the new iPhones using methods not
seen before. Technicians were told to push iPhone upgrades to consumers with
out-of-warranty devices. Senior sales staff had to make sure other retail
workers were suggesting upgrades, and easels offering generous trade-in
deals for the iPhone XR were erected in stores.
 
zuma.jay (Instagram)
Retail store employees "selling" a product is nothing new. However, Apple
stores in general have been free of such pushes. Employees are friendly but
not overbearing, and you can usually do whatever you want without being
harassed. Suggesting an iPhone upgrade instead of a repair is a stark change
from this.
If Apple wants to turn its retail stores into selling machines akin to car
dealerships, that's its prerogative. In my opinion, however, there's a
certain line that shouldn't be crossed.
First and foremost, pitching users of the iPhone X to upgrade comes across
as a desperate move. The device is barely over a year old, and many iPhone X
users haven't even had it for more than a year. Trying to get someone who
spent $1,000+ on their iPhone less than a year ago to spend another $1,000+
is a bold move.
Further, many people dread the task of going to Apple stores and many have
to drive several hours to do so. The last thing those people want is for an
employee to immediately up-sell instead of helping them repair their
existing phone.
Lastly, at the iPhone XS event last September, Apple's environmental VP Lisa
Jackson took the stage to tout that iPhones are lasting longer than ever,
promoting sustainability and preventing unnecessary e-waste. Pushing iPhone
users to upgrade instead of repair their existing iPhone goes completely
against Jackson's pitch and makes you question what she said.
The only instance in which pitching an upgrade might be ok is if it's an
out-of-warranty repair where it makes some financial sense to upgrade
instead. For instance, I've had Geniuses suggest this in the past for Mac
repairs. If someone has AppleCare+ or is using a relatively new iPhone,
however, they shouldn't be pitched at all.
Michael Steeber wrote in December that Apple's in-store iPhone marketing
"clouds Apple's retail message." Its newfound push for upgrades instead of
repairs continues to cloud what once made Apple retail such a pleasant
experience.
What do you think? Should Apple pitch iPhone upgrades instead of repairs?
Let us know your thoughts down in the comments.

RE: Apple Varification

[Richard Turner]

And, you may want to call Apple Accessibility to see if there is something in 
your settings that is causing this to happen more.
Though, it could be simply part of the updated security in iOS.

Good Morning,

For some reason my mini IPad has started asking me for my ID varification. In 
other words, it will just pop up out of nowhere and say I need to varify my 
Apple ID in settings.

This just started a couple of weeks ago. None of my settings have changed and 
it's not doing this on my phone.

When given the option to select settings or "ask me later," I select the latter.

I have never had a password sign in to access my mini IPad, so I'm wondering 
why this has started and how to stop it.

Thanks.

Vicki

, otherwise it will keep asking you.
