Hi folks, I have an iPad mini 2, which has just about become slow enough to drive me crazy. So I am either going to have to bite the bullet and go for a full-size iPad or just give up the whole notion of having two Apple devices. I know that there is someone better keyboard support in iOS 11,

Hi everyone. Since I've updated to MacOS high Sierra, I've noticed some very strange things with VoiceOver. First of all, when composing an Email, in the actual body of the message, when navigating by character, using only the arrow keys, not quick nav, VoiceOver skips past certain ones you

Hi, Regarding whether it's better to use one method or another. I'd say that it's just a matter of preference. Some folks prefer the ease of using an app that does all the background work for you and presents things in a graphical interface for them. Others prefer to go down to the basics
