Hi, Group.
My question is about the Arabic Keyboard of iPhone. When I double-tap and
hold a character in order to get more characters related to it, VoiceOver,
sometimes, says 'Alternative Characters Hidden',. Can I unhide these hidden
characters?
Thanks!

streaming doesn't always cut it. I mean we had horrible cell service
when the last hurricane came through, and it's still messed up at
times. I would rather have a nice amount of storage and that's more

I like my iPhone plan with Verizon. For $27 and some change, I get
unlimited talk and text, and 5 gigs of data. I accidentally used a

important, because our internet is so crappy. Sometimes, our wifi

My next phone which will be the 14 next year, will be the pro model.
The pro model of the 13 is already up to 1 terabyte of internal

Having a much better chip then in the iPhone 8 will be very nice as

Yes, you can indeed move the voice over speaking rate by 5%
increments. Your speaking rate should be in your router. Once you
find speaking rate, you should be able to move by 5% increments. If
you go to speaking rate in voice over settings, then it would go by
10% increments.

The thing about Lidar is you need to buy a Pro model to have that sensor
