RE: Anyone encountering this issue with alarms with iOS 11.1.2?

Hello Feliciano, I cannot reproduce your bug on my 8 Plus running the latest version of iOS 11. I can toggle the alarms on and off and the settings take effect, perfectly. I can also easily dismiss an alert, in the same way I have done in all previous versions of iOS. Mark From:

Anyone encountering this issue with alarms with iOS 11.1.2?

Hi, I have an iPhone 6s with iOS 11.1.2. There is a bug with the alarms on the clock app when using the VoiceOver screen reader. Anyone else in countering this issue? I have already reported this bug to Apple accessibility. I have set alarms to go off at a certain time throughout the week

RE: Serious Radio do you use the iPhone or a standalone radio for at home use

This seems like a silly question, however, does the Sonos act as a hardware medium or an internet medium for Sirius radio? For example back before the merger I had a Polk radio for XM. Now I live in an absolute dead zone. Even taxi drivers lose their signals when they drive in to this complex

Re: Serious Radio do you use the iPhone or a stand alone radio for at home use

The best way for me is to link my account with Sonos because you get live and on demand content. If I just want live content I can listen on my tap with Alexa. Juliette > On Nov 21, 2017, at 2:18 PM, Jen . wrote: > > Hi, > is there a directory so you know what station

You know, this isn’t going to be very helpful, I think you hold the back button after the Fire TV is connected. There is an exact explanation on the Amazon website. I think if you Google voice view FireTV you’re going to find it. It’s very simple. It’s just that I did it several months ago, so

Rick can give his reasons, but mine would probably be that I enjoy using SIRI for asking to find a particular movie or something on Youtube, there are a lot of accessible apps and while I don’t know the Fire TV, Im not sure if it has apps like the ‘Apple TV for playing content say from CBC

RE: Amazon Prime Video on Apple TV

I would say the Apple TV is 100% accessible. Just because all apps are not accessible does not mean the device isn’t. If you go by accessibility of apps you would also have to say the iPhone is not 100% accessible. Anyhow, I guess it comes down to interpretation and semantics. From:

Hi Rick, I’m curious why you prefer your AppleTV fourth-generation over the fire TV stick. I to have both of those, and these days, I think I actually prefer the fire stick. Of course I don’t take a vantage of the music sending etc. that I could do with my AppleTV, so perhaps that’s why.

RE: Amazon Prime Video on Apple TV

Well, it’s definitely a good thing that so many popular off-the-shelf devices are now accessible, competition is always good for innovation, but let’s not forget that ultimately we do have Apple to thank for that. I just checked on Amazon.ca and was surprised that they are selling the Fire TV
