That sucks. I was starting to talk myself into grabbing one to see if I could 
somehow jerry-rig/mount the wireless probe into a drum roaster. This has been 
my dilemma with somehow finding a way to keep track of the coffee  bean 
roasting temp since a wired leave-in probe wouldn’t work.
Ah well, the search continues.

That is very unfortunate and disappointing. As our population ages there are 
more and more  people with visual impairments and for many companies 
Accessibility has become part of their philosophy. It is not difficult to make 
an app that is accessible, but in the meantime I had already heard that 
apparently somebody tried your product some time ago and found it very 
difficult to use if not inaccessible. Obviously Chef IQ does not care about 
this and I will therefore go ahead and order the Meater Plus thermometer even 
if I think you may have a better product.

Thanks for that and I should have thought to check Applevis. Anyways, let's see 
what Chef IQ has to say, 3 years can be a long time and if it was discussed on 
Applevis I hope somebody contacted them to recommend accessibility improvments. 
If this was the case and nothing has been done regarding accessibility then my 
conclusion would be that the company is not very interested in it. Ultimateily 
I may just order both the Meater Plus and the Chef IQ and try/compare them and 
then send back the one I don't like.

A quick follow up. this topic got me curious. I came across this thread on 
Applevis about the Chef 
IQ app. It’s from three years ago and by the review, while it seems you can 
work with the app, acccessibility might be a challenge. Hopefully there have 
been accessibility improvements since this review was posted.

Honestly, no. Someone on the Blind subreddit did suggest it as an accessible 
option with VoiceOver  though so I pulled the trigger on one when it  went on 
sale as a lightning deal, but by the time I got it, I’d already received the 
reply from Meater about it’s limitations for what I wanted to use it for.
I’m currently using a Weber leave-in probe with a stainless steel stovetop 
popcorn maker which works well enough. The nice thing about the Weber app is 
that when you leave VO focus on the temperature readout, VO speaks the 
temperature change in realtime.
I’d be curious to know what the Chef IQ folks say if they get back to you.

RE: motion detector instead of an Accessible doorbell systems

I don't want a second door bell beside the door. Two door bells would be

Is there just a motion detector to alert me that a package was just left on my 
porch?

Most of the time the deliverer leaves without ringing or knocking.

Today I got a package from Amazon, no ring/knock.

Currently I have the logenex intercom, teledoorBell. The intercom box on the

pattern). Cordless phones can be moved around easily for convenience.

Someone mentioned that the Ring doorbell pro has a motion detector.

Having two door bell buttons would be confusing to door visitors.



Is there an iPhone app for a motion detector?

This would warn me when there is a delivery: package, groceries etc.

Hi Don,

When asking about accessible doorbells, what do you mean by accessible? How 
accessible would you like it to be?
I also use the Ring doorbell and I have it integrated with everybody’s  iPhone 
who lives in the house plus our Echo devices. Any time anyone nears our house 
porch we receive announcements that it detected motion. If someone rings the 
doorbell we have the option to either pick it up via the Ring app on our 
iPhones or the Alexa by simply asking Alexa to answer doorbell. For those who 
can see can activate the camera on their phones and see who is at the door. 
Unfortunately, it doesn’t identify the person for me yet. I’m hoping that’s 
near in the future with the advancement of AI. But for now I love it since we 
are notified any time we have a package dropped off and if anyone is home then 
we can immediately retrieve it.
I’m not sure how it integrates with the Google Home, but with the Echo devices 
you can download, what they call a Skill with the Alexa app and as long as you 
have a Ring account establish then you can sign into the Ring Skill and 
integrate it with your Echo. It’s pretty awesome!
Hope that helps some!

Subject: PROBLEMS WITH SIRI ON THE IPHONE 15 PRO

When I dictate a message on Siri, Siri begins to repeat it and then cuts off 
without reading my whole dictation. A few seconds later, Siri states the 
message fully.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I was going to install chat gpt in my iPhone when I read about copilot, and I

RE: Voiceover Fails on iPhone 15 Pro

[Kenny Nead]

My 15 Prosome times stops speaking when Siri is reading a text, just wondering 
what carrier do you have? I had a 13, and it did the same thing, that is part 
of the reason I bought the 15 Pro. Oh, I have T mobile.

If anyone has a solution to what I describe below, I will appreciate your help.

This evening VoiceOver stopped speaking on my iPhone 15 Pro.

  *   I hear the VoiceOver clicks and other sounds when I swipe up to activate 
the phone, but no speech.
  *   I hear the VoiceOver clicks and other sounds when I swipe left and right, 
but no speech.
  *   I’ve turned the volume up high; the VoiceOver sounds get louder, but no 
speech.
  *   A three finger double tap does not bring up speech as it should.
  *   I have attempted to use the voice command, “Siri, turn speech on,” or  
“Siri, turn speech off.” Neither will voice.
  *   I have checked for Bluetooth devices that might be connected, but all are 
turned off. Also, if this were a Bluetooth conflict, I don’t think I would be 
hearing the VoiceOver sounds.

Thanks very much.

RE: Does anyone know if this thermostat can be programmed and access using VoiceOver?

[Kenny Nead]

Not sure when you buy one, if it will still be Honeywell Home, they did change 
there name, just recently. And you will learn, it is really nice on Alexa, like 
when I go to bed, just say Alexa set thermostat to  whatever temp you ask

Thank you so much Kenny for sharing.  I too have a Honeywell thermostat, and 
have found the Total Connect Comfort app extremely accessible to operate the 
thermostat.  I never thought that Alexa might connect to it, but after your 
message, I did some research and am now connected.   There is a need for both 
the app and Alexa.  Ther is way easier if you just want to make a quick change

We have a Honeywell thermostat that works great with the Total Comfort Connect

The TCC app is completely accessible.

First, see if you find anything in the app store by searching for Pro One

The key will be if there is an app and the app is accessible.

I’m assuming this thermostat uses Wi-Fi?

Then, if that doesn’t work, ask the seller of the thermostat if there is an app 
and what the name of the app is.

Kenny, 
I searched on line, and I couldn't find  any $35.00 phone plan for one line.  
So, I called T-Mobile, and spent  20 minutes on the phone with them as they 
were searching on line, but they said they have no phone plan unlimited text, 
calling, data for $35.00.  Do you have one line or two lines on the $35.00 plan 
you just got from T-Mobile? In the $35.00 plan, is that with taxes?

Hi Carolyn, that's the way I did this last one. The lady over the phone offered 
to do everything for me. But since I only lived 3 miles away from the store I 
opted to just go to the store and grab my Sim cards instead of having them 
mailed to me. I don't know who you'll be able to switch to come when you go to 
your new place. But the deal that I have is actually fairly sweet. And they 
have top-notch customer service for both ends.

RE: How to read vitamin labels?

This is a labeler, that you put a label on your pills , and you have a pen, 
that you touch  on it, and it reads outloud whatever you have put on that 
label. .

Hi.

The term unlimited can be misleading. What I've found that the data is 
unlimited, but the speed you get it is throttled back if you go above a certain 
amount. I think Strait Talk gives you full speed up to 25 gigs of data, then 
they cut back the bandwidth a lot. I have what Spectrum calls unlimited data, 
and it does have a maximum amount.

Just letting you know.

I just went to   T Mobile, left AT and T and getting my unlimited plan for 
everything for 35 dollars. The customer service has been very good, and had no 
problem with dropped called, can not tell any difference between the two 
services.

Hi Carolyn, that's the way I did this last one. The lady over the phone offered 
to do everything for me. But since I only lived 3 miles away from the store I 
opted to just go to the store and grab my Sim cards instead of having them 
mailed to me. I don't know who you'll be able to switch to come when you go to 
your new place. But the deal that I have is actually fairly sweet. And they 
have top-notch customer service for both ends.

Yes it is true, you should go into a store, and ask them to go over your plan, 
I can't have Spectrum, and had trouble with Verizon, and AT, and T, so thought 
I would try out T Mobile, so far, so good, it is there cheapest plan for 
unlimited, but it works great for me.

Hello Carolyn and Kenny,
$35 sounds fine to me, but can I ask you Kenny, am I understanding you right 
when you say you are getting unlimited services from T-Mobile for $35.00 a 
month? I have been getting unlimited phone services from T-Mobile for $50.00, 
this is the reason why I am asking you if I am understanding you regarding the 
$35.00?

I have iPhone 12 Pro with latest I O S  with following apps:

I have several bottles of vitamins and don't know how to get the labels to

Hello Mike,

Yes, you are absolutely correct; I can definitely confirm this behavior.  It is

Hi folks,
 
I need to make a correction.  I stated in my initial post the following; I'm 
running iOS15.5 on an SE2020 iPhone.  For the last several months I was unable 
to tell my phone to call any phone number in my contacts that began with the, 
number / pound, sign.
The correction is to, with the, number / pound, sign.  It should read the, *, 
sign.

Hi All,
 
I'm running iOS15.5 on an SE2020 iPhone.  For the last several months I was 
unable to tell my phone to call any phone number in my contacts that began with 
the, number / pound, sign.
 
For example, when I want to forward my calls to the house I would tell Siri to  
call, Forward Arcadia.  This number in my contacts is;
*72 555-444-
and the phone calls would be forwarded.
 
When I wanted to disable call forwarding I would tell Siri to call Stop Forward 
and this number in my contacts is; *73
 
Well, I checked today and Siri is now calling numbers with the * phone numbers. 
 I recall several others on this group an other groups that had the same 
problem, so y'all that use this type of calling can check to see if your phones 
will do this now as well.
 
 
Stay safe and take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

Hello,

I have an IPhone 8 & am current on IOS.  My volume is fine & easily adjusted 
except for the text notification sound.  At times it will be fine then it will 
suddenly be quite soft such that I don’t notice when I get a text.  Everything 
else has the volume I want.  I even turned the volume up louder than I want 
thinking it would fix the text notification sound but no luck.  I have looked 
through settings & found no way to just adjust the text notification sound.  I 
looked at choosing some different sounds for this notification but none of them 
are as loud as I’d like.  I have not found a pattern in what seems to cause the 
notification sound to go down in volume as much of the time it is fine.

Any ideas on how I can increase the text notification sound?

Thanks,
Sherry Wells

Hi,

I have a Bosch washer and dryer that is mostly controlled by a touch panel, 
however, I use it via an app on my iPhone. It works pretty well. The only 
drawback might be that Bosch only sells apartment size washers and dryers. So 
if you are looking for a full size, Bosch won’t work for you.

I have a GE stove with a flat top for the burners and touch pad for controlling 
the oven. I have labeled the oven in braille, but the stove has the capability 
of working through an app on my iPhone. I just haven’t done the last steps to 
set that up.

By the way, in case it comes up for you when looking for appliances, if it says 
“ADA Compliant” that doesn’t mean it is necessarily accessible to the blind. It 
mostly means that the controls of the stove are on the front, and reachable 
from a wheelchair.

Good Luck!

Take care and stay safe!

Matthew,

Does your client realize that some of the features: Document, Scene, 
Handwriting, in the Seeing AI app require a photo to be taken? For me, using an 
iPhone 11, the currency & product features do not work at all. The color 
feature is 100% inaccurate. My app is up to date & so is my IOS. I only use the 
Short Text feature in the  Seeing AI app. I recommend VoiceDream Scanner for 
reading documents & CamFind or TapTap See for colors. EyeNote does great in 
identifying US dollars. The Short Text feature of the Seeing AI app can read 
product labels, but it takes some practice when it comes to reading labels on 
cans. There are two similar apps to Seeing AI, Supersense & Envision AI. Both 
of these apps to get full functionality have a monthly subscription. I 
typically don't recommend apps that have a monthly subscription. I prefer to 
pay for an app & pay for an upgrade or new feature that has been added through 
an In App purchase. Not everyone likes to use multiple apps when there are 
options in which one app can do all that is needed. I don't think that a new 
iPhone will solve your clients problem with the Seeing AI app. Hopefully, one 
of the above suggestions will help your client.

We have a Honeywell thermostat that uses the Total Connect Comfort (tcc) app

The physical thermostat isn't something I would want to deal with on my own,

So, the real question for me is, is the app they use accessible.

Hi folks,
I know that the topic of accessible thermostats has been discussed on this list 
countless number of times. From the past discussions I understood that both 
Honeywell and google nest make reasonably accessible thermostats. However, each 
company makes several models which makes it hard to determine which model is 
the most accessible. Needless to say that technology is changing rapidly, and 
because of this, some models are no longer available while newer models are 
being pushed into the markets.
My thermostat is no longer reliable. Therefore I hope I can get your opinions, 
based on your experience, which is more accessible, honeywell or nest, and 
which model? Does the installation need a technician or it can be done by any 
handyman?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Yes too all three of your questions.


A smart light-bulb can only work with a mechanical On/Off switch. You 
obviously need to leave the switch on after setting one up for it to

I live in an older apartment building in Vancouver, Canada.

I got Echo Dot and installed Alexa from the App-Store.

I have three questions,

1.

Can I use smart light-bulbs in old buildings?

2.

Can I use smart bulbs along with traditional bulbs?

I mean I want smart bulbs at a couple of places only.

3.

Does smart bulb work with mechanical switch too?

Thanks!

Xfinity is great if you have their internet.

Consumer cellular was quite affordable and very good customer service.

I know Consumer Cellular will give you all the details up front.

Verizon does have an accessibility department, so maybe they would be 
more helpful.

There's also an excellent open source Windows program called

in your library.



It saves them in .AAX (Audible Enhanced Audiobook) format. You can also

It's completely accessible using any screen reader. Here's the link to

Yes, I do understand that screaming a specific phrase to trigger Siri Shortcuts

These iOS Workflow shortcuts are really powerful. Using the ReddIt link

Hi Kenny,

   I’m not going to say your crazy,
Because you're probably thinking of something others are also thinking of.

   How to do it would be the crazy thing!

   I'm personally thinking what you are looking to do must be possible but I'm 
not sure you could do it with a Hey siri shortcut request if the jerkoff that 
just grabbed your phone is doing a runner.

   And thinking that if I grabbed a mobile device and started running, I'd have 
it in one hand and that would be by my side as my arms pumped as runners do!

You would have road noise possibly to take in to consideration,
Other background noises
The runner might have put your phone in to their pocket to free hands or make 
themselves look les like a running scumbag!

And of course your idea of the photo of the face depends on if the phone is 
being looked at, which they would do I'm sure once they were away from anyone 
following them!


However if you have an apple watch especially one of the LTE models,
Could you not do some of this stuff from find my iphone via the watch?
Find my iPhone I've used to locate my watch from my phone so somewhat around 
the opposite way to what you are looking for,

   But you could trigger an alarm,
   Lock the phone or wipe it if needed,
   I'm not sure about photos but there must be something that could give you 
that ability,
Infact I think there is built in to the watch but it's from the phones camera 
so you can hold the phone up with the camera looking at something and view it 
on the watch screen!


The other thing is if you use a caine you could throw it at the scumbag like a 
javlyn / speer,
Or if it's a broken down in to sections folding cain, throw it at their legs as 
they run so it might trip them and then you could kick the shit out of them 
while they lye there trying to free themselves,

   Or if you use a dog, teach it to chase the bad guy like a police dog!
That one I'd like to see happen!

Sorry most of this isn't going to do what you are looking for but just some 
ideas looking from a somewhat different angle

Good luck and I hope you can figure something out

Subject: Using iOS Shortcuts to Deputize Siri?

I'm not sure if this is possible, but I wanted to pose the question to the list 
to find out.


I own an iPhone 8 running iOS 13.5.1.


Here's the scenario. You're using your iPhone while waiting outside for
an Uber pickup, then a thief snatches it out of your hand. They take off
running. You have only a few seconds to react, but normally you start
screaming "STOP THIEF" or something too that affect immediately.


How about you could simply say the phrase "Hey Siri: STOP THIEF"


Then Siri would do the following on your iPhone:

1. Activate the front camera and take a picture.

2. Activate the back camera and take a picture.

3. Upload a copy of those photos to the iCloud linked to your account.

4. Set screen brightness to 0.

5. Lock phone and screen.

6. Disable fingerprint sensor, so only inputting the correct pin will
unlock the phone.

7. Play a loud pitch Siren or alert notification sound at the highest
volume level.

8. Continue to secretly take a photo every 30 - 60 seconds using the
front and back camera, and upload the photos to the iCloud, not
overwriting the other photos.


Now maybe I'm coming off here sounding like a lunatic, but I feel that
such a Shortcut would be nice to have just in case you encounter a
situation like this.


Can this be done? If so, what are the steps?


Also is there a site or blog featuring useful iOS shortcuts members have
freely contributed. Ones you can easily import to the Shortcuts app on
your iPhone?


Now I realize

Re: Using iOS Shortcuts to Deputize Siri?

[Kenny]

Guess I'm hoping by screaming the word "Hey Siri: Stop Thief" the perp 
will notice and hear the loud pitch notification sound and constant 
vibration emitting from the iPhone. This will cause him too hopefully 
drop the phone. You'll be able to locate it of course by tracking the sound.



Turning the finger print sensor off and setting the screen brightness to 
0 will essentially make the phone unusable to the thief.



The goal with this Shortcut is too have Siri trigger a loud enough sound 
or annoying vibration forcing the thief to think twice and drop your

case on it, it shouldn't get damaged.



I mean if you have a creative enough mind, their our many ways you can 
utilize the power of Shortcuts and Siri too protect you and the iPhone 
with just a few trigger words.

Problem: if they just tossed it, I couldn't use it either.

Re: Hangouts app not ringing iOS

[Kenny]

Just go into the Hangout's settings and under the Google Voice 
###-###- heading, toggle the "Incoming phone calls" option to "On."



You should also go into the notification settings for the Google Voice 
app and set the Incoming calls sound to "None." This way you won't 
experience double ringing when someone calls your Google Voice number.

And, I think you meant 256 GB not 654GB.
The amount of memory won’t change the size of the screen.

Subject: screen protector for SE2020

Hi,

My husband is looking for a glass screen protector for his IPhone SE2020. Does 
anyone know what size he should get and what a good brand is?

He has the SE2020 654 gig.

Thanks.

If Apple offers a trade-in for my iPhone 8, I'll definitely upgrade.

Everything known about the 2020 'iPhone SE'

By Mike Peterson Friday, April 03, 2020,

The launch of the so-called 2020 "iPhone SE," largely expected to be 
an updated iPhone 8-style device, is imminent. Here's what's been 
discovered about the subject of rumors for the last three years. The 
'iPhone SE' is expected to have a design basically the same as the 
iPhone 8. While rumors about a low-cost iPhone refresh have been 
circulating for years, it now appears that Apple will debut the device 
in early 2020. Here's everything that's been discovered about the 
upcoming 4.7-inch iPhone. The 'iPhone SE 2' at a glance According to 
the latest rumors and leaks, here are some key points about the 
"iPhone SE. The same footprint as the 4.7-inch iPhone 8 footprint 
Latest-generation A13 chip and 3GB of RAM 64, 128 and 256GB storage 
variants Retain a Home button with Touch ID Retail as low as $399 
Larger 5.5-inch "iPhone SE Plus" model at some point 'iPhone SE 2' 
design Despite the now possibly confirmed "iPhone SE" moniker, the 
device is more likely to be a spiritual successor to the iPhone 8 
instead of the popular 4-inch form factor. At this point, that 
4.7-inch footprint is so likely that case makers are already going 
all-in on the size. In late March, cases for an affordable iPhone 
8-style device began arriving at Best Buy . There may also be a larger 
version of the "iPhone SE" available, according to leaked code strings 
within iOS 14. That device would be akin to the iPhone 8 Plus, just 
with the same updated internals. We're not currently expecting any 
major design overhauls like an edge-to-edge display, OLED panel or a 
TrueDepth Face ID sensor suite. Like last year's stable of iPads, the 
device will continue to rely on older tech like Touch ID and will 
sport aging, bezeled designs. But its price point and internal 
upgrades, which we'll get to below, may make it a popular choice for 
many consumers. 'iPhone SE 2' specifications A concept render of what 
the 2020 "iPhone SE" will look like. Courtesy of OnLeaks and 
iGeeksblog. Apple is definitely going to give the "iPhone SE" an 
overhaul in terms of its internal specifications. But users should 
expect incremental updates, not major ones. Back in January 2018, 
well-connected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that the "iPhone SE 2" 
would sport an A13 processor - the same as the CPU in the iPhone 11 - 
and 3GB of RAM. More minor updates could include a new Liquid Crystal 
Polymer antenna design, which would give the refreshed device better 
cellular reception and performance. Leaked code in iOS 14 also 
suggests that the "iPhone SE" will retain a Touch ID fingerprint 
sensor, though it may support the so-called CarKey feature for 
locking, unlocking and starting compatible vehicles. The latest 
information indicates that the 2020 "iPhone SE" will be available in 
64GB, 128GB and 256GB storage configurations and will launch in white, 
black and PRODUCT(RED) variants. All of this is to say that the new 
"iPhone SE" will an entry-level device that will lower the barrier of 
entry for Apple's latest advancements in silicon, making it an 
attractive choice for users who have been holding out on upgrading 
from older iPhones for reasons of price or familiarity. iPhone SE 
availability Rumors about the updated device's launch date have 
shifted drastically over the years. In summer 2017, reports suggested 
that a second-generation iPhone SE could debut in early 2018, for 
example. Now, it appears that the 2020 "iPhone SE" will launch 
sometime in April 2020. While a credible tipster indicated that Apple 
would announce the device on Friday, April 3, another leaker said that 
the launch is slated for April 15. More confusing are case maker 
leaks, with at least one manufacturer potentially tipping an April 5 
release date. At this point, we're comfortable saying that the "iPhone 
SE" will launch in the very near future. But an exact day is still up 
in the air. As far as price, that's less clear. But a report from 
February 2020 suggests that it could start at $399, presumably for the 
base 64GB tier. That's about on-par with previous iterations of the 
iPhone SE, and cheaper than Apple's current lowest-cost iPhone, the 
$449 iPhone 8. 'iPhone SE 2' name An iPhone 8-compatible screen 
protector was updated to reflect 'iPhone SE' compatibility on Apple's 
site. The upcoming 4.7-inch device has been given several monikers by 
leakers, analysts and others in the Apple blogosphere. That includes 
"iPhone SE 2" and "iPhone 9. At this point, it appears that the device 
will simply be dubbed the "iPhone SE," according to an apparent leak 
from an accessory on Apple's official online storefront. The 
aforementioned tipster also suggested that Apple would 

Looking for A Simple Unlimited Voice Recording App for iOS.

[Kenny]

Hope everyone is having a blessed day!

I'm trying to assist a friend with a project she's taking on.

She wish to write a book, but is going the ghostwriter route.

Her plan is too record all of her thoughts via voice recording app on 
her iPhone 8.


The problem she's running into is that her voice is being recorded, but 
so is VoiceOver. That isn't acceptable, especially when someone else is 
listening to the recordings to take notes.


Can someone suggest too me a simple voice recording app for iOS that can 
be stopped and started with Siri?


If no such app exists, something that is easy too operate if Siri is 
disabled/turned off. Maybe by hitting the up (Start) or down (Stop) 
volume key?


Having no time restrictions on how long the recording can be would be 
nice too.


Any suggestions?

Re: Comcast low-income program

Thanks for sharing this information. My Verizon FiOS service leaves 
allot to be desired. Maybe I should check into this myself.

 I'm forwarding to everyone in case you do not already have 
Comcast/Xfinity and live in an area that they serve, or know someone 
who might qualify.


<<>>

If you aren't already aware, Comcast has recently expanded its 
low-income “Internet Essentials” program.  There is now more criteria 
which will expand eligibility for this low-cost service to more people 
stuck in the digital divide.  This will allow affordable in-home 
internet service which will free more people from having to use public 
Wifi hotspots to get internet access.


Learn more about Internet Essentials by Comcast program in English at 
internetessentials.com 


or in Spanish at es.internetessentials.com 



Summary of the Internet Essentials program is as follows:

How to Qualify:


To qualify, your household must:

Be in a Comcast serviceable area.

Receive a state and/or federal assistance program noted below.

Not have any level of Xfinity Internet service now or within the last 
90 days.


Not have an outstanding Comcast balance that is less than one year old.

Including meeting all of the criteria noted above, your household must 
also be eligible for or receive at least one of the following public 
assistance programs:


Medicaid: Federal Healthcare Program (Such as the Oregon Health Plan).

NSLP: National School Lunch Program.

SNAP: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. (Formally known as 
food stamps)


Housing: public housing assistance including HUD, Section 8, Housing 
Choice Vouchers, etc.


TANF: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.

SSI: Supplemental Security Income.

LIHEAP: Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

Federal Pell Grant: Community college financial aid (CO and IL only).

WIC: Women, Infants, and Children.

VA: Veterans Pension eligibility determination letter from the 
Veterans Administration.


Tribal Assistance program including TTANF, FDPIR.

What You'll Get


Internet Essentials includes:

15 Mbps downstream / 2 Mbps upstream Internet service for just $9.95 a 
month + local sales tax (if applicable). (A 1 Terabyte data usage cap 
applies as with other Comcast/Xfinity services)


No activation fees and no equipment rental fees for a Comcast provided 
Wireless Gateway delivering in-home WiFi!!  (This is a huge savings 
considering Comcast charges their full-rate customers $13/month for 
the equipment)


Upon approval of eligibility, the option to purchase a refurbished 
computer for just $149.99 + tax. (Windows 10 laptop OR desktop 
computer.  See the Welcome Kit page for details: 
https://www.internetessentials.com/welcome-kit )


Norton™ Security Online: Helps secure multiple PCs, Macs, smartphones 
and tablets from online security threats.


Access to free Internet training online, or in person at participating 
partner organizations.


Access to 40 (individual one-hour sessions) of Xfinity pubic WiFi 
Hotspots every 30 days. Xfinity Wifi Hotspot Finder: 
https://hotspots.wifi.xfinity.com 


Under this new expansion, internet access eligibility will extend to 
an additional 3 million low-income Americans. According to the U.S. 
Census, people living in high-poverty cities are 10 times less likely 
to have broadband at home than those in higher-earning communities. 
Comcast has already connected 52,000 households in Oregon and SW 
Washington.


If you have any questions, reach out to the Comcast Internet 
Essentials contact center at 1-855-846-8376

Also, if you want to buy the movie, and it says pre-order, that is what it

You have to wait until its official release for purchase.

weeks or months to get it?



Thanks for shedding any light on this for me.

Re: Bathroom Scales

[Kenny]

I agree! Just purchased this Renpho scale for $20 and think it's 
fantastic. The app for iOS is totally inaccessible. I just sync the 
Fitbit app to it for reading relevant details using Voiceover.

When RENPHO is connected to health app, body weight, Body fat, lean 
body mass and  BMI is transferred to health app. I personally enjoy 
this smartscale. I only need Bodyweight, bodyfat and lean body mass 
compositions. This scale is affordable, reliable and accurate too.

Hi,

Is it worth buying smart scales such as the kantron smart body fat 
analyser or renpho Bluetooth body fat scale? Has any one used either 
of these with the IPhone and how accessible and easy to use have you 
found them? Or is it best to just stick with the ordinary traditional 
scales?


Thanks, Husna

Re: Shop Independently with Shipt: an Accessible App that Brings the "Store to your Door"

[Kenny]

Really nicely done on your part.


I been grocery shopping online using ShopRite.com Home Delivery service 
for a few years now, and love it. Able to browse their weekly sales 
circular, take advantage of digital coupons, and learn the nutrition 
facts for any product. The $10 delivery fee is waved if my bill reaches 
$200 (Which it always does.) If I need specialty items I get them off of 
Amazon.com. Have a Prime account and never pay for shipping.

Shop Independently with Shipt: an Accessible App that Brings the "Store to
your Door"
By Deborah Kendrick
American Foundation for the Blind

Consider a few scenarios.
You have just moved into your college dorm and you realize that you forgot
shampoo, your favorite energy bars, sheets for your bed, or treats for your
guide dog.

You're in your dentist's waiting room, and you get a text reminder that
three friends are coming over for dinner and you don't have time to get the
necessary groceries.

You just plain find going to the grocery store complicated and time
consuming and wish someone could do it for you.
The resounding solution to each of these dilemmas could well be a business
called Shipt, a service whose motto is: "We bring the store to your door."
Imagine shopping on your mobile phone or laptop for everything from
groceries to party decorations to pet food or toilet paper, and having it at
your door in as little as an hour.

What is Shipt?
Shipt Inc. was launched in 2014 by chief executive Bill Smith in Birmingham,
Alabama. In December 2017, the grocery delivery service company was
purchased for $550 million by Target. By the end of 2018, Shipt.com had a
cadre of over 50,000 shoppers nationwide delivering groceries, pet supplies,
household goods and more directly to customers' doors, saving busy people
the time and trouble of cruising grocery and retail aisles. For those of us
who are blind or low vision, this service is arguably a superior method to
traditional shopping since it affords us the opportunity to browse products,
read descriptions, and compare prices in a way not necessarily available to
us when shopping on site.
Shopping with Shipt can be done on a computer or through an iOS or Android
app. This article will deal primarily with the iOS version. The stores
included in the app vary from city to city, although Target seems to be
available in any area in which Shipt has launched, as is CVS. Some locations
list 6 to 8 available stores while others offer only two or three. New
locations are added every week, however, so the likelihood of it being
within the reach of most US readers of AccessWorld is excellent.
The Shipt Shopping Experience

Let's first look at the experience from the perspective of a customer who
has already created an account and used the service at least once. Let's say
we are in an area where Kroger is the primary grocery store. (Those of you
who live in areas served by Publix, Meijer, Winn-Dixie, Lucky's Market,
Fresh Market, or a host of others need not worry. Shipt shops at these and
other stores as well.)
Waiting for a meeting to begin one morning, I have 15 minutes to spare and
open the Shipt app on my iPhone. It immediately shows me my own delivery
address and the next available delivery time from Kroger (usually within the
next 90 minutes.) Satisfied with my own delivery address and the selected
store, I begin shopping.

A number of quick links appear. The first of these is Buy Again. Others
include On Sale, Browse, Favorites, and categories such as Dairy, Produce,
Frozen, Bakery, and Pantry..
Typically, I start my shopping with Buy Again. Here, every item I have
previously purchased will appear. Let's say the first item is Blueberries.
Next to the name Blueberries are the words "6 ounces, price $4.69, Open
Product Detail."

Below this item description will be an Add 1 button. To add the item to the
cart, simply double tap the Add 1 button. Later, if you change your mind,
removing the item from your list is just as easy as adding it. Continuing
down the list of items previously purchased - milk, bananas, Swiss cheese,
and so on - I simply double tap the Add 1 button for any desired items. To
learn more about an item, double tap its name, which includes the Open
Product Detail invitation. While not all items have information on this
screen, the majority of products do.

I have never purchased Eggo's Mini Pancakes. The product detail reads, in
part, "Eggo's mini pancakes are a great tasting breakfast option ... Drizzle
with syrup, top them with fruit, slather on some peanut butter ... or enjoy
them for dinner."

Nutrition information appears here as well. For some products, this screen
will also include the product directions for microwave and oven. There is an
Add 1 button on this screen for quickly adding the product to your cart, and
a Close Product Details button in the upper left corner of the screen to
return to browsing in the same category or another. In every list, 

Re: Greater Voice Controls coming in iOS and Mac 13

[Kenny]

I don't know. Hope Apple isn't planning on slowly replacing VoiceOver 
with this VoiceControl? I can't realistically see how both features can 
co-exist, and work optimally.



It seems like they're trying to extend the accessibility of VoiceOver 
(Benefited only the visually impaired community) into something that can 
benefit allot more users (Mainly sighted.)



Guess only time will tell how this turns out.

Re: Theme Question: How Do You Use Your Apple Watch?

Great advice. Will wait it out then.

There are only 2 sizes and apart from that there are definitely watch bands

Unless you have really big hands and wrists I find the larger size is too large 
even for me and I'm not a super big buy, but I'm also not small.
My advice would be not to buy an Apple Watch now, as a relatively new device at 
least when compared to the iPhone and iPad development is still on a bit of a 
faster track and in just over 3 months it is likely Apple will release a new 
generation of apple Watch. My wife and I have the series 2 watch and for my 
wife it's not such a big deal since she isn't a Voiceover user, but a series 2 
is quite frustrating to use, a bit sluggish and at least mine constantly locks 
on me even if I am in the middle of tapping or swiping. I am sure the series 4 
is much better, but since you have gotten along without one for this long 
another 3 months won't matter so wait and see what Apple comes up with this 
year.

The below article is from the May issue of Access World

Voice Dream Scanner: A New Kind of OCR

There is a new player in the optical character recognition (OCR) space, and it comes from an old friend: Winston Chen, the developer of Voice Dream Reader and Voice Dream Writer, both of which we ve reviewed in past issues of AccessWorld. In this article we ll start out with a brief conversation with Chen. Then we ll take a look at the developer s latest offering: Voice Dream Scanner. Spoiler alert it will probably be the best $5.99 you ll ever spend on a text recognition app!


AccessWorld readers who use their phones to audibly read e-Pub books, PDFs or 
Bookshare titles are likely already familiar with Voice Dream Reader. It works 
so well with VoiceOver and TalkBack, it s hard to believe it wasn t developed 
specifically for the access market. But according to Chen,  I just wanted to 
build a pocket reader I could use to store all my books and files so I could 
listen to them on the go. No one was more surprised than me when I began 
receiving feedback from dyslexic and blind users describing how helpful Voice 
Dream Reader was for their needs and making some simple suggestions to improve 
the app s accessibility.

Chen s second offering, Voice Dream Writer, was also directed at the mainstream 
market.  Sometimes it s easier to proofread your document by listening to it 
instead of simply rereading the text,  says Chen. At the time, Apple s 
VoiceOver cut and paste features and other block text manipulation capabilities 
were,shall we say, not quite what they are today? The innovative way Chen 
handled these functions made Voice Dream Writer equally useful to users with 
visual impairments.

Reinventing the OCR Engine

  I ve been wanting to add OCR to Voice Dream Reader for a few years now,  says 
Chen.  It would be useful for reading protected PDF s and handouts and memos 
from school and work.

The hurdle Chen kept encountering was finding a useable OCR engine.  There are 
some free, open source engines, but they don t work well enough for my 
purposes,  he says.  The ones that do work well are quite expensive, either as 
a one-time license purchase with each app sold or with ongoing pay-by-the-use 
options. Either of these would have raised the price I have to charge too much 
for my value proposition.

Last year, however, Chen began experimenting with Apple s artificial 
intelligence (AI), called Vision Framework, that s built into the latest iOS 
versions, along with Google s Tesseract, TensorFlow Lite, and ML Kit.

  Instead of using a single standard OCR engine, I combined the best aspects of 
each of these freely available tools, and I was pleasantly surprised by the 
results.

Instead of making OCR a Voice Dream Reader feature, Chen decided to incorporate 
his discovery into a separate app called Voice Dream Scanner.  I considered 
turning it into an in-app purchase, only there are a lot of schools that use 
Reader and they aren t allowed to make in-app purchases,  he says. As to why he 
didn t simply make it a new Reader feature, he smiles,  I do have a family to 
feed.

Chen has been careful to integrate the new Voice Dream Scanner functionality 
into VD Reader, however. For example, if you load a protected PDF file into the 
app and open it, the Documents tab now offers a recognition feature. You can 
now also add to your Voice Dream Reader Library

The below article is from the May issue of Access World

Voice Dream Scanner: A New Kind of OCR
   
There is a new player in the optical character recognition (OCR) space, and it comes from an old friend: Winston Chen, the developer of Voice Dream Reader and Voice Dream Writer, both of which we’ve reviewed in past issues of AccessWorld. In this article we’ll start out with a brief conversation with Chen. Then we’ll take a look at the developer’s latest offering: Voice Dream Scanner. Spoiler alert—it will probably be the best $5.99 you’ll ever spend on a text recognition app!


AccessWorld readers who use their phones to audibly read e-Pub books, PDFs or 
Bookshare titles are likely already familiar with Voice Dream Reader. It works 
so well with VoiceOver and TalkBack, it’s hard to believe it wasn’t developed 
specifically for the access market. But according to Chen, “I just wanted to 
build a pocket reader I could use to store all my books and files so I could 
listen to them on the go. No one was more surprised than me when I began 
receiving feedback from dyslexic and blind users describing how helpful Voice 
Dream Reader was for their needs and making some simple suggestions to improve 
the app’s accessibility.”

Chen’s second offering, Voice Dream Writer, was also directed at the mainstream 
market. “Sometimes it’s easier to proofread your document by listening to it 
instead of simply rereading the text,” says Chen. At the time, Apple’s 
VoiceOver cut and paste features and other block text manipulation capabilities 
were,shall we say, not quite what they are today? The innovative way Chen 
handled these functions made Voice Dream Writer equally useful to users with 
visual impairments.

Reinventing the OCR Engine

“I’ve been wanting to add OCR to Voice Dream Reader for a few years now,” says 
Chen. “It would be useful for reading protected PDF’s and handouts and memos 
from school and work.”

The hurdle Chen kept encountering was finding a useable OCR engine. “There are 
some free, open source engines, but they don’t work well enough for my 
purposes,” he says. “The ones that do work well are quite expensive, either as 
a one-time license purchase with each app sold or with ongoing pay-by-the-use 
options. Either of these would have raised the price I have to charge too much 
for my value proposition.”

Last year, however, Chen began experimenting with Apple’s artificial 
intelligence (AI), called Vision Framework, that’s built into the latest iOS 
versions, along with Google’s Tesseract, TensorFlow Lite, and ML Kit.

“Instead of using a single standard OCR engine, I combined the best aspects of 
each of these freely available tools, and I was pleasantly surprised by the 
results.”

Instead of making OCR a Voice Dream Reader feature, Chen decided to incorporate 
his discovery into a separate app called Voice Dream Scanner. “I considered 
turning it into an in-app purchase, only there are a lot of schools that use 
Reader and they aren’t allowed to make in-app purchases,” he says. As to why he 
didn’t simply make it a new Reader feature, he smiles, “I do have a family to 
feed.”

Chen has been careful to integrate the new Voice Dream Scanner functionality 
into VD Reader, however. For example, if you load a protected PDF file into the 
app and open it, the Documents tab now offers a recognition feature. You can 
now also add to your Voice Dream Reader Library not only from Dropbox, Google 
Drive, and other sources, including Bookshare, but using your device’s camera 
as well.

To take advantage of this integration you’ll need both Voice Dream Reader and 
Voice Dream Scanner. Both can be purchased from the iOS App Store. VD Reader is 
also available for Android, but currently VD Scanner is iOS only.

Of course you don’t have to have VD Reader to enjoy the benefits of the new 
Voice Dream Scanner.

The app installs quickly and easily, and displays with the icon name “Scanner” 
on your iOS device. Aim the camera toward a page of 

Re: Button Layout on Wifi Instant Pot

Boy, wish I got this WiFi model, before I purchase the $44 for a 3qt 
Instant Pot deal on eBay last month.

Hi Les and everyone,
I am resending the layout for the buttons on the WIFI Instant Pot with forward 
info stripped out and a clearer subject line. Sorry for previous message and 
confusion. Les, I could not send this privately to you because I didn't have 
your email address, so am sending to the list in case others also may want it.

Here is the WIFI Instant Pot button layout. I am attaching an Excel file with 
the same info except that it is in rows and columns corresponding to the rows 
and columns of buttons on the pot. This is for the newe WIFI model, not the old 
blue tooth or other models.

There are 3 rows of 2 buttons and then three rows of 4 buttons on the pot. 
starting rows of two with the top row first.

row 1
left button: soup/broth
right button rice

row 2
left button meat/stew
right button multigrain

rrow 3
left button bean/chili
right button poridge

Row 4
left button cake
second button pressure level and wifi on/off. hold for 3 seconds to turn wifi 
on or off,.
third button keep warm
right button steam

Row 5
left button slow cook
second button decrease time
third button increase time
right button yogurt

Row Six
left saute
second button delay start
third button cancel
right button pressure cook

I am including other notes I took on the Quick Start materials that came with 
the pot:

For pressure cooking, add at least  1.5 cups of liquid  unless otherwise 
specified in the recipe. Liquids include:
water; broth or stock; fruit or vegetable juice; beer or wine with low alcohol 
content; water-based cooking sauces.

Do not fill inner pot higher than PC Max, 2/3 line.
for foods that expand such as rice or beans, go to the 1/2 line.

Liquids must be water based. Be cautious when cooking with more than 1/4 cup 
oil, oil-based sauces, condensed cream-based soups, and thick sauces.
Add suitable liquid to thin out sauces.
Avoid recipes that call for more than 1/4 cup oil.
Before pressurizing, make sure vint is sealed, turned towards the back.

Pressurizing: until pot pressurizes and vowelve pops up, lid is removable. Once 
pressurized, lid locks till depressurized.

to depressurize, can let it cool and depressurize naturally, vowelve goes down 
when depressurized, or can turn handle on vint.

NR versus QR: normal release versus quick release:
Normal release, let cool naturally and vowelve goes down when pressure is 
released.
Quick release use the handle to unseal the vent.

HTH.

Re: What Is The Measure App On iOS 12? Here's What You Can Use It For

[Kenny]

LOL! I wondered what this mysterious Measure app was that appeared on my 
phone after upgrading to v12. I moved it to the extras folder. guess I 
should play around with it a bit.



On 9/18/2018 2:41 PM, M. Taylor wrote:

What Is The Measure App On iOS 12? Here's What You Can Use It For
By Lucia Petersan.

With the release of iOS 12 on Monday, users of Apple mobile devices of all
kinds gained access to a ton of new apps and tools - including a surprise
hit: The "Measure" app. What is the iOS 12 Measure app, you ask? It's both
exactly what it sounds like, and a whole lot more. Through the magic of
ARKit 2 - the latest version of Apple's augmented reality development kit -
you can use your iPhone or iPad to take the measurements of just about
anything in your environment. Although the idea of an AR tape measurer isn't
nearly as exciting-sounding as, say, being able to catch a Pokemon in your
living room, it's one of the more practical applications of AR technology -
and as some folks have demonstrated on Twitter, you can still have some fun
with it, too.
Apple's own Measure app isn't the first of its kind; other developers have
previously harnessed the power of ARKit's earlier version, which was
released in 2017 alongside iOS 11, to create similar apps (with varying
degrees of success). The functionality of Measure isn't new, either -
although it works through different technology, the end result isn't
dramatically different from what you can achieve with a laser distance
measure.
  
What Measure does that these other options don't, however, is make this kind

of tool accessible to anyone with a compatible iOS device. Want to calculate
the length or area of something that's tough to get a tape measure against?
You don't have to buy a separate device to accomplish that calculation; you
don't even have to buy a separate app to do it. Everything you need is built
right into something you already own - your phone or tablet. All you have to
do to get access to it is update your device to iOS 12.
According to Mashable, the first time you boot up Measure, it will ask you
to "point your phone all around the environment you're in" for calibration
purposes. After you've completed that task, you'll be able to start
measuring items in your surroundings. To do so, you just point your phone at
whatever you want to measure so the camera can see it, then tap the points
you want the app to measure between on your device's screen. The app is also
capable of recognizing some things on its; per Mashable, you can measure
these objects "by holding your iPhone up to, say, a monitor, TV, or box,"
which will cause the app to "overlay the object in yellow and allow you to
lock that point in." Writes Jake Krol, "From there, you can get the
measurements of that recognized object without doing the manual work of
designating a boundary."
  
The app isn't without its flaws, of course; it's mostly accurate, but not

perfectly accurate. When Krol measured his MacBook Air, for example - a
laptop which measures at 13.3 inches diagonally - the app calculated it at
13 inches even, which is, as Krol put it, "not bad, though not quite dead
on." CNBC echoed this assessment, calling it "[not] a perfect replacement
for a regular measuring tape, but . good if you need a quick estimate when
you're in a bind and don't have a real tape measure."
Plenty of folks have found some, uh. creative uses for Measure, too, of
course. Take, for example, all the people who have discovered you can
measure your pets with it:
Well played, internet. Well played, indeed.
To get Measure, first make sure your device is compatible with iOS 12 by
checking here; if it is, go ahead and update to iOS 12 and you should be
good to go. Have fun, kids!

Hmmm... I always have my iPhone 8 placed face down on the table. When I

will just use that for now. Other than that, have not noticed any issues.

 Despite its size suggesting otherwise, the iPhone XR replaces the
 iPhone 8 <http://iphonehacks.com/iphone-8> in Apple’s iPhone
 lineup. This is more because of the way it has been priced as it
 is the cheapest newest iPhone in Apple’s 2018 iPhone lineup.
 There’s a huge size difference between the two but given how Apple
 has priced the iPhone XR, it is likely going to be the most
 popular iPhone of all the three handsets.


 *What is the difference between iPhone XR and iPhone 8?*

 So, how does the iPhone 8 compare to the iPhone XR? Is the latter
 really that much better? Let’s find out in our comparison.


   *Design*

   * iPhone XR – 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm and 194g, IP67 certified
   * iPhone 8 – 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3 mm and 148g, IP67 certified

 The iPhone XR is substantially larger than the iPhone 8. This is
 largely due to the former coming with a bigger 6.1-inch LCD
 display. Despite the 1.4-inch jump in screen size, the iPhone XR
 is still relatively compact since it features an almost bezel-less
 display. Both phones are IP67 certified. Unlike the iPhone 8, the
 iPhone XR is also available in a bunch of colors including Red,
 Yellow, and Orange.


   *Display*

   * iPhone XR – 6.1-inch True Tone Liquid Retina LCD display, 1792
 x 828 pixels (326 ppi), No 3D Touch
   * iPhone 8 – 4.7-inch True Tone Retina HD IPS LCD display, 1334
 x 750 pixel (326 ppi), 3D Touch

 The iPhone XR comes with a bigger and higher resolution Liquid
 Retina display. Apple claims it is the most color accurate LCD
 display in the market right now. However, unlike the 4.7-inch
 display of the iPhone 8, the iPhone XR lacks 3D Touch.


   *Processor*

   * iPhone XR – A12 Bionic, 7nm chip, 6-core CPU which is 15
 percent faster, 50 percent faster 4-core GPU, 8-core Neural
engine
   * iPhone 8 – A11 Bionic, 10nm chip, 6-core CPU, 4-core GPU,
 Neural engine

 Apple’s A11 Bionic chip from last year is still a powerhouse when
 it comes to performance. With the iPhone Xs though, Apple is
 taking things to a different level 

Re: iPhone XR vs iPhone 8: What's the Difference

[Kenny]

It's the 64 GB model. Well dealing directly with Apple I wouldn't think 
is the best option to get top dollar in a trade-in anyways. I'm sure 
Verizon, ATnT or T-Mobile will be offering much more. Sure the catch is 
having to sign your soul away in a 2 year contract or something for Cell 
service with them.



To pick up the iPhone XR, I'll do that though.

I think the older the phone is the less you might get back in a trade 
in though.  I could very well be wrong, and maybe someone else will 
chime in here regarding this.  When I bought my phone 6, I asked Apple 
one year later what would they give me for a trade in, and they said 
$100, and I paid $815, and only had it for a year.  I told them not a

But then again, I just might take a watch and wait approach. If I

December, I might not even need to update, but I’ll see.

A lot to think about.

Despite its size suggesting otherwise, the iPhone XR replaces
the iPhone 8 <http://iphonehacks.com/iphone-8> in Apple’s
iPhone lineup. This is more because of the way it has been
priced as it is the cheapest newest iPhone in Apple’s 2018
iPhone lineup. There’s a huge size difference between the two
but given how Apple has priced the iPhone XR, it is likely
going to be the most popular iPhone of all the three handsets.


*What is the difference between iPhone XR and iPhone 8?*

So, how does the iPhone 8 compare to the iPhone XR? Is the
latter really that much better? Let’s find out in our comparison.


  *Design*

  * iPhone XR – 150.9 x 75.7 x 8.3 mm and 194g, IP67 certified
  * iPhone 8 – 138.4 x 67.3 x 7.3 mm and 148g, IP67 certified

The iPhone XR is substantially larger than the iPhone 8. This
is largely due to the former coming with a bigger 6.1-inch LCD
display. Despite the 1.4-inch jump in screen size, the iPhone
XR is still relatively compact since it features an almost
bezel-less display. Both phones are IP67 certified. Unlike the
iPhone 8, the iPhone XR is also available in a bunch of colors
including Red, Yellow, and Orange.


  *Display*

  * iPhone XR – 6.1-inch True Tone Liquid Retina LCD display,
1792 x 828 pixels (326 ppi), No 3D Touch
  * iPhone 8 – 4.7-inch True Tone Retina HD IPS LCD display,
1334 x 750 pixel (326 ppi), 3D Touch

The iPhone XR comes with a bigger and higher resolution Liquid
Retina display. Apple claims it is the most color accurate LCD
display in the market right now. H

Re: iPhone XR vs iPhone 8: What's the Difference

[Kenny]

Bought it from the Apple site. They want to give me only $529 (Apple 
gift card) for a phone I paid $749 (Including tax) for? I don't think 
so. Maybe they'll go up to $629 if I wait a little longer. I mean the 
darn thing is still practically brand new.



If anyone knows of a trade-in deal being offered by Verizon, ATnT, 
Tmobile that offers more than $529 for an iPhone 8 (In pristine 
condition,) please let me know.

Kenny,

Maybe talk to your phone carrier about a trade in.  I think most if 
not all phone carriers are doing some kind of trade in promotion.  My 
only concern about the xr phone in which is what I would like, it 
might be too large for my hands.  From my understanding, the xr phone 
is much larger than my phone 6.  I will have to wait to go to a store 
and feel the xr for myself.


But then again, I just might take a watch and wait approach.  If I

Neural engine

Apple’s A11 Bionic chip from last year is still a powerhouse when
it comes to performance. With the iPhone Xs though, Apple is
taking things to a different level altogether. The two performance
cores in A12 bionic are up to 15 percent faster, while the 4
efficiency cores consume 50 percent less power when compared to
the A11 Bionic. The 4-core GPU also offers 50 percent faster
performance when compared to the A11 Bionic and it has been
optimized specifically for Metal 2.

The 8-core Neural engine is getting a massive performance boost as
well. It is now capable of processing 5 trillion operations per
second, while the A11 Bionic’s Neural engine tops out at 600
million operations/sec. This allows the A12 Bionic to complete
certain system tasks faster and also greatly helps in quickly
completing complex calculations for Memoji and Animoji.

  *Storage*

  * iPhone XR – 64GB, 128GB, 256GB
  * iPhone 8 – 64GB, 256GB

While Apple offers the iPhone 8 in two different storage tiers of 64GB 
and 256GB, it offers the iPhone XR in three different storage tiers: 
64GB, 128GB, and 256GB.



  *Camera*

bokeh and Depth control, Quad-LED True Tone Flash
  * iPhone 8 – Single 12MP camera setup with f/1.8 aperture, 1.22um
pixel pitch, OIS, Auto HDR, Focus Pixels, Quad-LED True Tone Flash

The iPhone XR and iPhone 8 both feature a 12MP shooter at its rear. 
While they might look the same, the iPhone XR features a bigger camera 
sensor with bigger 1.4um pixel pitch. It also has Smart HDR for 
improved dynamic range and details. The new camera sensor on the 
iPhone XR allows for wider dynamic range while recording videos in 
30fps, with both phones also capable of recording stereo around while 
video recording.



  *Front Camera*

  * iPhone XR – 7MP TrueDepth Camera, f/2.2 aperture, Retina Flash,
Portrait mode with advanced bokeh and Depth control, Smart HDR
  * iPhone 8 – 7MP FaceTime HD camera, f/2.2 aperture, Retina Flash,
Auto HDR

The iPhone XR 7MP camera is a huge upgrade over the iPhone 8. It is a 
TrueDepth camera system which means it is capable of 3D depth sensing 
which is used to offer features like Memoji and Animoji. The TrueDepth 
camera system also paves the way for Face ID. It is also capable of 
capturing Portrait photos with fake bokeh effect, something which one 
cannot do on the iPhone 8 Plus.

Re: Mirroring iPhone 8 Video/Audio Content to a Device Running Windows 10?

[Kenny]

Well I really love the ease in which I can use the Stream app on my 
phone to access content. Really don't like navigating cable channels 
using the browser. Never as easy in my opinion.



I'll consider this, but I don't want a gran or their friends going crazy 
buying movies if I happen not to be paying attention. That's why I want 
to be the one to control the content, not them.



They really rather spend most of their time watching YouTube videos 
anyway LOL.

Subject: Mirroring iPhone 8 Video/Audio Content to a Device Running Windows 10?

Good day!


Have sort of a dilemma on my hands.


I find myself watching/listening to a lot of Xfinity content on my
iPhone 8 using their very accessible Stream app.


Sometimes I want to mirror/stream this same content to my TV (So others
can enjoy it too.)


I have a Minix Neo Mini PC running the latest build of Windows 10 1803
connected to it via HDMI. It's pretty much the multi-media hub for
everything family watches!


Is there any accessible Windows 10 application available that would
permit iOS device to Window device video/audio mirroring?


Something that doesn't require a whole bunch of configuration to get it
working.


Both my iPhone 8 and Minix Neo box are on the same home WiFi network by
the way.


Any ideas?

Re: where're the cur ated playlists?

[Alex Kenny]

the curated playlists should be in the new tab, however I have not been
able to see them either. According to online reviews and descriptions of
the app, below the lists of new releases and tracks there should be three
options to access playlists from Apple editors, activity playlists and
curators. These options do appear in iTunes on the PC, but I'm not seeing
them on the New tab. Has anyone had any luck finding these in the iOS Music
app?
