Hello list, So maybe it’s been around for a bit, but I barely noticed it first on the FB iOS app and now while browsing FB on my PC with Firefox and Chrome, but it looks like VoiceOver and Jaws at least are reading the included text in image postings. I know one could always add the alt text, but

With my XR, I bumped my SE to my business cell since my trusty 5S was giving me more and more trouble. Slightly annoying that the SE's a 64 GB device since it's got nothing on it now, but oh well. Slowness aside on the 5S which is to be expected for such an old device, it started to act all

nice review indeed. Apparently that model isn’t made now. They had a link on the review page for the site that has the best price according to them, which turns out to be Amazon. But then amazon said that item is no longer available but there was a newer model. I think that Cristobal is right

very helpful. One thing which I would love more of is storage space. I'm reasonably comfortable with 128 GB but would love the 256 GB model if it weren't so much more expensive. I really wouldn't enjoy going back to 64 GB of storage. On Thu, Nov 1, 2018 at 12:38 PM Cristobal Muñoz mailto
