hi Sieghard, this sounds like a reasonable answer, but it that case how come 
the purchased screen protecter was too long as well, Billy

The 6 Plus and 6S Plus is certainly much larger than the 6 and 6S, but that of

hi JR, Just bought the iphone6. When trying to purchase glass screen protecter 
and hard back cover.
The back cover was fine, but the protecter was much too large for the phone.
On the packaging, it stated for 6, 6s, 6plus.
II took it from this. The protecter would fit any of the above.
Is the iphone6 screen smaller than the 6s or 6plus?, Billy

Re: iPhone 6 or 6 plus

2015-05-16 Thread Christopher Chaltain
As others have said, it is. I'm sorry, but I was wrong about that. It 
was just an unfortunate short hand I used when I meant it was an add-on 
to the camera itself. As Jonathan pointed out, KNFB Reader does now take 
advantage of the optical stabilization in the iPhone 6+, so I was wrong 
about that as well. I appreciate the corrections, and I apologize for 
the inconvenience I caused with my poor choice of words and dated 
information.

Re: iPhone 6 or 6 plus

2015-05-15 Thread David Chittenden
I, on the other hand, prefer the 6+. I use GPS quite a lot, and the 6+ battery 
really comes in handy, both for that, and for office use.

KNFB Reader is significantly better with more complicated documents on the 6+ 
compared with my 5S. THE best feature for me, however, is the wider screen for 
braille screen input.

That said, I just acquired an iPad, and braille screen is very much nicer on 
the iPad. I can now use 8 dot computer braille. And, I am brailling faster on 
the iPad, with less errors.

Re: iPhone 6 or 6 plus

2015-05-15 Thread Andy Baracco
I have a 6 and notice that the audio is much improved over previous vodels. 
The base response is much improved and it doesn't have that tinny sound that 
the previous iPhones had. I was considering buying an external speaker to 
improve the audio, but I find that this is not necessary.

get something on launch day, my 6 plus is only a 16GB, while my 6 is 
a 64GB. And, not that I really need it to be since I'm intending on 
staying with ATT, but my 6 is also an unlocked phone. My 6 plus is 
on the Next plan with ATT, meaning their kind of installment plan, 
as that is all I could get on launch day, unless I wanted to sign a 
two year contract. Now, as I understand it, I actually own this 6 
plus; and, while my relative can't get it unlocked until it is paid 
off, I have the option of paying off now, or letting my family 
member have the phone while I just keep making the payments.


Back to my reasons for getting the 6, I wanted the larger capacity, 
just in case I ever needed it, and I wanted to compare the 6 and 6 
plus. Thus, for me, the battery life on the 6 wasn't all that much 
less to make me still want the plus. Also, when using the KNFB 
Reader, I, personally, got just as good results with the 6 as with 
the plus. Then, too, when using MBRAILLE, my hands just seemed to 
fit better, making me type more accurately,  on the 6.

The whole point of the 6 Plus is that the hardware is used for the optical

Optical Stabilisation is a hardware difference in the camera. Digital

The latest upgrade to KNFB Reader now takes advantage of Optical Stabilisation.

Re: iPhone 6 or 6 plus

2015-05-15 Thread Jonathan Mosen
Yes, KNFB Reader confirmed on Twitter that they are taking advantage of optical 
character stabilisation, so the 6 Plus will have advantages, particularly if 
you're inclined to shake the phone when you take pictures.
For my purposes, the 6 Plus is the best phone I've ever owned. Braille screen 
input on it is fantastic, and the battery performance is far better than the 
six when doing really intensive things like GPS or streaming for a long time. 
It's quite remarkable.

Re: iPhone 6 or 6 plus

2015-05-15 Thread Vicky Collins
I've been able to hear well enough on all the iPhones I've had over the years, 
meaning the 4 and the 4S, as well as the 6 and 6 plus. The plus may have just a 
little more of a base sound, but I'm able to hear and understand on both the 6 
and 6 plus without any problem. I think my sister in-law is getting the plus, 
as my brother said it was too big for him. They each have an iPhone 4 right now.

 Hi. I have heard both the six and the 6+. I don't know if the speaker in the 
 6+ is any larger, but the housing is. I do hear a difference between the two, 
 and the six does sound like it has a larger speaker even if it may n.. But in 
 terms of clarity, they both seem about the same. I haven't played with the 6+ 
 all that often, so perhaps someone else on the list who may have both phones 
 can chime in here.

  I decided to start a new thread to answer Carol's question. 
  
  I like the somewhat smaller size of the 6; and, besides, rushing to get 
  something on launch day, my 6 plus is only a 16GB, while my 6 is a 64GB. 
  And, not that I really need it to be since I'm intending on staying with 
  ATT, but my 6 is also an unlocked phone. My 6 plus is on the Next plan 
  with ATT, meaning their kind of installment plan, as that is all I could 
  get on launch day, unless I wanted to sign a two year contract. Now, as I 
  understand it, I actually own this 6 plus; and, while my relative can't get 
  it unlocked until it is paid off, I have the option of paying off now, or 
  letting my family member have the phone while I just keep making the 
  payments.
  
  Back to my reasons for getting the 6, I wanted the larger capacity, just in 
  case I ever needed it, and I wanted to compare the 6 and 6 plus. Thus, for 
  me, the battery life on the 6 wasn't all that much less to make me still 
  want the plus. Also, when using the KNFB Reader, I, personally, got just as 
  good results with the 6 as with the plus. Then, too, when using MBRAILLE, 
  my hands just seemed to fit better, making me type more accurately,  on the 
  6.

The 6+ has a better camera don't know if the sound system is better on the 6+ 
but if you're thinking of getting the Cayenne SV reader then go with the 6+ 
because it has a better camera takes better pictures that's why I bought a 6+

Re: iPhone 6 or 6 plus

2015-05-15 Thread Wayne Merritt
I've got a 6 and also have a hearing loss in both ears. I regularly
use my 6 around my apartment with no issues. I am satisfied with the 6
and did not want the larger 6 Plus, mainly because I thought it would
be too much to handle. When I was able to touch a real 6 Plus, I
discovered that I was right to get the 6, for my own use and so forth.
To each their own though. What's best for you may be different than
someone else. If at all possible, I would encourage you to go to your
nearest mobile carrier or AppleStore and take a look at one. Until
then, it's all speculation.

Re: iPhone 6 and 6 plus with the KNFB Reader

2015-03-16 Thread Vicky Collins
Oh, grin, I'm not really interested in creating a Sendspace 
account, as I just did the podcasts kind of for the fun of it.  I 
did the comparison of the KNFB Reader between my 6 and 6 plus, 
seeing as I hadn't heard of any other one being done, as well as 
to test the Braille Sense U2 recording and Dropbox features.  
However, having mentioned that I did do these recordings, should 
anyone want to listen to the files in question, such as they are, 
feel free to contact me off list and I'll see what can be done.  
I've already heard from one person, and I'll try to contact him 
tonight when I get home from work.  Again, if anyone wishes to 
contact me regarding these, please make it off list so as not to 
cause clutter here.  Thanks.

Thanks much, and my apologies to everyone concerned. Now that you mention it, I 
think I may have heard that about Dropbox in passing at some point when I 
didn't have an account and so it didn't register. I have deleted the files, so 
the links will no longer work. Thanks again for the warning, and again my

  Weight and Dimensions



  iPhone 6: Length - 5.44 inches (138.1 mm), Width - 2.64 inches (67.0 mm),

  These came from this website:

  I will say that the website does not label the measurement between length and 
width, etc. but instead places the respective dimensions next to a drawing of 
the product.

Hi, 



I always use away mode as I can't stand tabletop mode. No the dot

at least on my 6. 



The 6 is only just wider than previous modles, so holding the phone isn't 
any different. I have never tried brailling on the 6; plus, so I cannot comment 
on the experience of brailling on the 6 plus. 



Hope this helps,

  Now, I can't reach the width to do this on either of the new phones.  I 
haven't been able to play properly because all the phones are tied down so as 
to stop theft, but this means I can't have a case on to stop them slipping from 
my fingers!



  How do people hold their 6 and 6+ when brailling?



  I wish I could be convinced that this would work well enough for me.  
I've tried table top mode, in every conceivable way that I can think of, but 
still haven't been satisfied so far.



  Any other comments still very welcome, thanks.

Hi, 



Its just the same as using a 4S or 5. In screen away mode, It doesn't 
matter about the screen size so you can touch near each end if you want. You 
don't have to try to reach the centre of the screen. 



Cheers,

  Here's another question for those of you who use the Braille keyboard

your knees, however do you manage to hold it and get your fingers still to fit 
properly across the screen?



  I was having a bit of a play today with the 6 and 6plus but I really 
don't quite envisage how I'll braille well and easily as I don't want to use 
table top mode or to work on a table.



  Please give me your experiences on this one.

Some accessibility notes on why you might consider the larger 
screen of the 6 Plus, taken from my article at: 


http://www.applevis.com/blog/apple-carriers-ios-iphone-news/recap-and-opinions-apples-fall-2014-announcements

One thing the article doesn't mention is that the iPhone 6 Plus 
supports the Perkins style layout for braille screen input, no flattened V 
shape necessary. Some users also find that typing with the regular on-screen 
keyboard (in landscape mode) is a joy

My problem is this!  I hold my phone, facing away from me, between my thumbs
and little fingers, and write with the rest!

 

Now, I can't reach the width to do this on either of the new phones.  I
haven't been able to play properly because all the phones are tied down so
as to stop theft, but this means I can't have a case on to stop them
slipping from my fingers!

 

How do people hold their 6 and 6+ when brailling?

 

I wish I could be convinced that this would work well enough for me.  I've
tried table top mode, in every conceivable way that I can think of, but
still haven't been satisfied so far.

 

Any other comments still very welcome, thanks.

Hi, 

 

Its just the same as using a 4S or 5. In screen away mode, It doesn't matter
about the screen size so you can touch near each end if you want. You don't
have to try to reach the centre of the screen. 

 

Cheers, 

Brett.

OK,

 

Here's another question for those of you who use the Braille keyboard on the
6 or 6plus.  If you don't use it on a tabletop, or in tabletop mode on your
knees, however do you manage to hold it and get your fingers still to fit
properly across the screen?

 

I was having a bit of a play today with the 6 and 6plus but I really don't
quite envisage how I'll braille well and easily as I don't want to use table
top mode or to work on a table.

 

Please give me your experiences on this one.

Some accessibility notes on why you might consider the larger screen of the
6 Plus, taken from my article at: 

http://www.applevis.com/blog/apple-carriers-ios-iphone-news/recap-and-opinio
ns-apples-fall-2014-announcements

One thing the article doesn't mention is that the iPhone 6 Plus supports the
Perkins style layout for braille screen input, no flattened V shape
necessary. Some users also find that typing with the regular on-screen
keyboard (in landscape mode) is a joy, almost like typing on a small
hardware keyboard. I don't have a 6 Plus so can't comment personally.
Anyway, here's the excerpt:

 

The larger screen seems to many people to be, at first, a non-issue at best
and an annoyance at worst. If you can't see the screen, why would you want
to use a phone that has a huge one (I'm looking at you, 6 Plus)? You have to
figure out where to put this massive device, get used to your apps being
even bigger, figure out new layouts. Why bother? Aside from the fact that
the iPhone 6 is actually not much larger than the 5S (the screen is larger,
but there is less of a bezel), I can come up with a few reasons

Re: Iphone 6 vs. 6 plus?

2014-12-27 Thread Kliph
With the battery life it’s a no brainer!  I have the plus, and I know people 
who have the 6.  And the 6Plus’s battery life is almost 60 percent better.  As 
for the camera, that depends on who you ask, some say the plus camera is 
better, some say it is not.  The battery life was the deal breaker for me, plus 
the extra space on the screen.  I use to use a bt keyboard, now I hardly use it 
because it is so much easier to type on the 6Plus screen.

availability of iPhone 6 and 6 plus

2014-12-26 Thread Vicky Collins
When checking the Apple Store app, it sure looks as if the iPhone 6 and 6 plus 
are becoming more readily available. For, when checking here in the United 
States with the app, it gives only one business day shipping time for the 64GB 
plus, and one to 3 business days for the same size 6 models I checked. Strange, 
though, as I don't yet see the unlocked models available here, and I thought 
they used to start selling them before Christmas. Also, when checking the My 
ATT app, looks like they are already offering their certified like new models, 
but online only.

Hi!
Of course there is that new command to help!
Just touching the home key twice quickly  [not pressing or clicking] brings 
down the icons 50% down the screen [there is a sound as they move] so 
bringing the top icons in reach!
And its on a time limit about 10 seconds if you do not select anything the 
icons slide back to their place!
I think pressing the home key sends them back if you did not mean to bring 
them down!

Hello All,

I’ve just rejoined this list as I am looking at a new iPhone. I’ve tried 
looking through the archives trying to establish what subscribers felt 
about the 2 new phones?


I see there are concerns about 128 Gig version of the Plus. The IOS-Today 
podcast suggests, as a generalisation. That women are more comfortable 
with the 6 and the Plus is a little big. But I wondered if this was 
because of the way in which sighted people interact with their phones? 
Someone with smaller fingers will struggle to reach from top to bottom 
while keeping their palm gripping the side of the phone?


I like the idea of the Plus as the image stabilisation might help barcode 
and OCR scanning. Do 6 Plus users see an improvement in scanning barcodes 
and OCR activities?


But what have female iPhone 6 Plus users felt about using a larger phone?

I look forward to learning of personal experiences of women with iPhone 6 
 6 Plus models with gratitude.


Thanks.

Re: iPhone 6 or 6 plus?

2014-11-12 Thread Vicky Collins

I have the 6 plus 16GB, and I have no problem
holding the phone in one hand and using the touch screen with the 
other.  Also, from what I've heard, the battery life is better on 
the 6 plus.


That being said, and having never seen the 6, I'm still toying 
with the idea of taking a look at the 6 at some point.  For, the 
6 plus does seem to be a bit wide for me on some occasions.  As 
stated before, I'm able to hold the phone in one hand and use the 
on screen keyboard without a problem, pretty much the same as 
with my 4S.  However, what I'm not able to do, is use some of the 
Braille keyboards, such as mBraille, as I did with the 4S.  
Wanting privacy when at work and on the bus, I would hold the 
phone with the speaker against my right ear, and then the home 
button of course on the right and facing towards my body, and I 
was then able to place my fingers such that I could type my text 
messages and the like.  But, this just doesn't work for me at all 
with the 6 plus, as I just can't seem to get the placement right, 
especially for letters requiring more than one or two dots.  Hope 
this makes sense.

Subject: iPhone 6 or 6 plus?


Hello All,

I've just rejoined this list as I am looking at a new iPhone.  
I've tried looking through the archives trying to establish what 
subscribers felt about the 2 new phones?


I see there are concerns about 128 Gig version of the Plus.  The 
IOS-Today podcast suggests, as a generalisation.  That women are 
more comfortable with the 6 and the Plus is a little big.  But I 
wondered if this was because of the way in which sighted people 
interact with their phones? Someone with smaller fingers will 
struggle to reach from top to bottom while keeping their palm 
gripping the side of the phone?


I like the idea of the Plus as the image stabilisation might 
help barcode and OCR scanning.  Do 6 Plus users see an 
improvement in scanning barcodes and OCR activities?


But what have female iPhone 6 Plus users felt about using a 
larger phone?


I look forward to learning of personal experiences of women with 
iPhone 6  6 Plus models with gratitude.


Thanks.
Gena

Interesting.

I didn't have to look at a phone which was nailed down in any way. Perhaps they 
are, normally, but I'd think they can be released, somehow. Maybe they'd do 
that for you so you can have a proper play.

 I popped into my local CPW shop on Walsall's high street,  so we know 
 they're out there and they do h1...   well, real ones, on and working, 
 but with so much impedimenta to nail them down,  it's difficult to get a

 Hi!
 Of course there is that new command to help!
 Just touching the home key twice quickly  [not pressing or clicking] brings 
 down the icons 50% down the screen [there is a sound as they move] so 
 bringing the top icons in reach!
 And its on a time limit about 10 seconds if you do not select anything the 
 icons slide back to their place!
 I think pressing the home key sends them back if you did not mean to bring 
 them down!

Hi,
You know i had the same thoughts as you, thinking i had made a mistake when 
ordering a 128 Gig 6+, however when i got it i found that in some way that i 
can’t quite describe, the 6+ feels better in navigating than my former 5S. I 
don’t know what it is that makes me feel that way, but i do and thus i’m having 
no problems with the 6+.

Re: iPhone 6 or 6 plus?

2014-11-10 Thread Wayne Merritt
The 128 GB 6 Pluses have had issues if the user has a ginormous number
of apps on them, like 700 or more. People that have 128 gig models of
this phone on this list have reported no issues. I am quite happy with
my iPhone 6. I have large hands, but the 6 doesn't seem overly big to
me, where the 6 Plus does seem a little much.

 Hello All,

 I've just rejoined this list as I am looking at a new iPhone. I've tried
 looking through the archives trying to establish what subscribers felt about
 the 2 new phones?

 I see there are concerns about 128 Gig version of the Plus. The IOS-Today
 podcast suggests, as a generalisation. That women are more comfortable with
 the 6 and the Plus is a little big. But I wondered if this was because of
 the way in which sighted people interact with their phones? Someone with
 smaller fingers will struggle to reach from top to bottom while keeping
 their palm gripping the side of the phone?

 I like the idea of the Plus as the image stabilisation might help barcode
 and OCR scanning. Do 6 Plus users see an improvement in scanning barcodes
 and OCR activities?

 But what have female iPhone 6 Plus users felt about using a larger phone?

 I look forward to learning of personal experiences of women with iPhone 6 
 6 Plus models with gratitude.

 Thanks.

Re: iPhone 6 or 6 plus?

2014-11-10 Thread carol.pearso...@googlemail.com
I've looked at and played a little with both and, for me, the most important 
thing is what is comfortable, of course!  I would definitely not go for the 
6plus as this is too large for me.  It's a little large for my hands to hold 
comfortably but, more important, it's the larger screen which my brain finds 
more difficult in the interaction as a totally blind person.  I owned an 
IPad for some time and went back to it time and again, trying to get more 
comfortable, but in the end I sold it because I just found it too large for 
my needs, and I think this was the visual concept rather than it being too 
large for sitting around and writing.


Hope that might help a bit.  Sorry it's rather late and not too well 
written.

Hello Carol,

No need for apologies, that’s great. Lots of people seem to be expressing the 
same. I think I’ll have to find a shop where I could feel at least a model of 
one each of the phones. You are quite right. It’s about what is comfortable for 
me.

Hi!
Of course there is that new command to help!
Just touching the home key twice quickly  [not pressing or clicking] brings 
down the icons 50% down the screen [there is a sound as they move] so bringing 
the top icons in reach!
And its on a time limit about 10 seconds if you do not select anything the 
icons slide back to their place!
I think pressing the home key sends them back if you did not mean to bring them 
down!

 Hello All,
 
 I’ve just rejoined this list as I am looking at a new iPhone. I’ve tried 
 looking through the archives trying to establish what subscribers felt about 
 the 2 new phones?
 
 I see there are concerns about 128 Gig version of the Plus. The IOS-Today 
 podcast suggests, as a generalisation. That women are more comfortable with 
 the 6 and the Plus is a little big. But I wondered if this was because of 
 the way in which sighted people interact with their phones? Someone with 
 smaller fingers will struggle to reach from top to bottom while keeping 
 their palm gripping the side of the phone?
 
 I like the idea of the Plus as the image stabilisation might help barcode 
 and OCR scanning. Do 6 Plus users see an improvement in scanning barcodes 
 and OCR activities?
 
 But what have female iPhone 6 Plus users felt about using a larger phone?
 
 I look forward to learning of personal experiences of women with iPhone 6  
 6 Plus models with gratitude.
 
 Thanks.

Re: iPhone 6 or 6 plus?

2014-11-10 Thread RobH.
I think that was for one handed users like driverson the move, however 
illegal that is.  When the device is in one hand and you're using hte other 
for navigating around the screen, size is hardly an issue since you can 
reach all of it.  I gave up original iPad as they are too big to hold in one 
hand.  Now I do it different on a Mini,  hold it portrait between both hands 
so thumb can reach between top and bottom long edges.  So it's variations 
like this we'd do with a 6+, and why I would happily have swapped out the 
Mini for a 6+, but way outside my price range. If you can afford a tablet 
and a phone,  then the 6+ struck me as ideal for a tablet,  not so sure 
about it as a phone.
I half hoped a new iPod Touch would have come out in this new phone form 
factor; and cheap enough to afford.

I bought a 2nd hand 5S now, so happy with that,  when I finish moving into 
it.

Hi!
Of course there is that new command to help!
Just touching the home key twice quickly  [not pressing or clicking] brings 
down the icons 50% down the screen [there is a sound as they move] so 
bringing the top icons in reach!
And its on a time limit about 10 seconds if you do not select anything the 
icons slide back to their place!
I think pressing the home key sends them back if you did not mean to bring 
them down!

I need a recording of the iPhone 6 and 6 plus

2014-10-23 Thread Neal Ewers
Hi all, as someone who is very much into sound and recording, I would
appreciate knowing about the quality of the internal microphone on both of
the new iPhones. If someone would be kind enough to make a short recording
on the recording app of their choice, and send me a dropbox link, I would
very much appreciate it. I have clients who are interested in this
information as well. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to do this.

 John,

 What do you mean how much the 6 Plus camera is?
 If you mean Megapixel, it is the same 8 MP as the 4S, 5, 5C, 5S and 6. Only
 difference is that it has opticaly/physical image stabilization and the
 newer eyesight cameras as in the 5S, 6 and 6 Plus have larger pixels which
 means a larger sensor which is needed in order to fit the same amount of
 the
 larger pixels onto the sensor.

 Hello,



 Just thought the below article may cheer up all you new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus
 users and give you some hope that once the main iOS 8 bugs have been fixed,
 you will truly have the best smartphone in the world as Apple says. This
 DXOMark Mobile test is considered to be the best camera test there is and
 it
 shows how Apple's decision to stay with an  8 MP sensor is not a bad thing.
 It also shows how all the sniggering by Android fanboys who thought their
 S5
 camera with its 16 Megapixels was so much better was a bit premature. Add
 to
 this that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus with its dual core processor and 1 Gb of
 RAM blows the S5 with a quad core and 2 Gb of RAM out of the water in all
 benchmark tests and you can rest assured that you do indeed have an awesome
 phone.

 Oh, yes, the above may come across as condescending but I don't really mean
 that. I do prefer Apple/iOS over Android, but nonetheless the S5 and other
 top of the line Android phones are also very nice phones and I realize that
 Android accessibility has come a long way. I also hope that trend continues
 and that Windows Phone becomes a lot more accessible as well so that we
 truly have choices. Anyhow, here is the link to that article:

Re: iPhone 6 and 6 Plus camera gets top rating

2014-10-02 Thread Christopher Chaltain
The iPhone 6 and 6+ are great devices, and I'm sure they blow the 
Samsung S5 away in some benchmarks, but I'm a bit surprised they blow 
the S5 away in all benchmarks. There are quite a few benchmarks out 
there to test all sorts of things. One of the problems with benchmarks 
too is that they tend to focus on a very specific aspect of the phone 
and don't always indicate how a device performs in every day use.


Looking at the specs, I'd assume the iPhone 6 would more than hold it's 
own in benchmarks that aren't memory intensive or spawn off a lot of 
threads. Furthermore, I think this is more indicative of how people use 
their phones and mobile devices. I'd guess the S5 would do better in 
benchmarks requiring more memory and that are more heavily threaded.


Like I said, I'd be surprised if the iPhone 6 blew away the Samsung S5 
in every benchmark. I'm sure Samsung has it's pet benchmarks that it 
uses when testing the S5 and does it's share of tuning to ensure it 
performs well in those benchmarks. As a software engineer who's worked 
with performance tests to ensure a platform gets good marks, my 
experience is that performance benchmarks are more about marketing than 
they are about real world customer satisfaction.


I'm sure I'll be labeled as an Android supporter or a Apple basher, but 
my only real point here is to put benchmarks into perspective and 
caution people against statements that say one platform blows another 
away in all benchmarks. When you see terms like all, every, never 
and so on, chances are you're not getting the whole story.


I hope Sieghard, one of the people I respect most on this list, doesn't 
take offense to anything I said above!

Questions about Tactile Screen Protectors for iPhone 6 and 6 plus.

2014-09-29 Thread SpeedDots
Hello all:
As we have had a great deal of questions posed to us, as well as a thread
started here, we wanted to pop in and update on the status of tactile screen
protectors for the iPhone 6 and 6 plus.
The assumption that we're not taking the lead on developing them to meet the
need is an inaccurate one; but, this is also likely a lack of understanding
how our products are produced.
We begin that process when the betas of the various operating systems are
released. We are always looking ahead to understand and prepare for how the
changes that apple makes to iOS and overall screen layouts are going to
impact our business and our products.
If there is not a change in the size of the phone screen, then obviously we
can easily make those changes using existing materials, templates, and doing
minor adjustments as they pertain to overall screen measurements.
As all of you likely know by now, Apple released two, (2) different phones
this time around. They are completely different from the prior models,
specifically the 5/5S/5c.
This means, that, we needed to purchase both phones. No; contrary to what
some sadly think, we do not have an in with Apple. and, we do not feel that
it would make us look like a professional and/or well conducted business, if
we were to go to them and demand that we be given special treatment, and
have our devices delivery expedited to us because we are producing products
for the  blind community who needs them. This was suggested to us; and I
only wish I were kidding.
so, we did what we do every year: stayed up until the wee hours of the
morning to pre-order. This has never failed us. Unfortunately, as lots of
you probably also heard, apple did not anticipate the popularity of its
products and have sufficient stock on hand. This, resulted in some models
being backordered. Ours were in that group. This, despite getting our order
placed within ten minutes after the online appstore was open and accepting
orders.
We cannot begin production without two things: our iPhones, and the arival
of our screen protector materials from China.
BTW: if any of you has an in with either apple, or one of the major US
shipping carriers to speed this process along, we are all ears. Talk to us
privately off list. Heck, if you're for real, you might even get something
free out of the deal. 
Once, we do receive these things, which we are expecting by the end of the
week, we can, and will, send all measurements, screen shots, and materials
off to our guy and begin production.
So, to answer the question of wil there be screen protectors? Yes,
absolutely!
When will they be available? We are going to work as quickly as we can to
get them done and up on the site once everything has been sent off and we
have our devices and materials.
and no, that's seriously not just business lip service. Again, we cannot do
anything without the devices and  materials in hand.
We will, of course, post announcements to this list, as well as all of the
usual suspects e.g. buy/sell/trade lists, twitter, Facebook, and in an email
that will be sent out to everyone who has subscribed to our new product
announcement list.
Along those lines: if you have not done so, or are not sure if you have,
please feel free to add your email to the list. You may do this by going to
our homepage, and filling out the form there.  You can't miss it.
If you've previously subscribed, no worries. We weed out duplicates, so you
won't get multiple emails; and as others who are on this list can likely
tell you, we don't spam. We really, only email you when we have something to
say. We too, loathe spam and pointless emails in our personal inboxes.
 
Finally, a quick note about some mentions here, and inquiries that we have
had regarding producing a screen protector to be used specifically with
MBraille, or now the native braille support in the iOS.
We have been accused of not listening, and not being interested. Seriously?
We are listening, and we do hear you; loud and clear.
Unfortunately, we've had three requests for this; so the masses are not all
voicing their interest to us or to our resellers at conventions either, I
might add. That all gets back to us, and we always are looking at different
layout options.
Some of you might have seen or used the phone keypad layout that we have.
That product came from us getting over 50 requests for this; and because
there was then no question that it would sell, we ran with it and made it
happen.
We are a business, and like any business, when we look at bringing something
new into the market, we have to be sure that initial sales will at least
enable us to recover any costs asociated with making the first batch of
product. That's pretty much true for any business; ones I know anyway...
We tell everyone who comes to us with a want for either a screen protector
for their android phone or tablet, or another layout they'd like to see for
their iOS device, to let us know. Our contact info is on our web site and
checked by real

Re: Iphone 6 and 6 plus

2014-09-24 Thread Joanne Chua
Hi Regina, the 6+ is definitely no where near the size of an ipad
mini. The size didn't add up at all. An iPad mini is 7.9 screen, and
the 6+ is 5.5 screen. A 6+ can fit in the Man's Shirt pocket, while
an ipad mini need a hand back or bigger to carry in it. If you put two
6+ side by side on the lanscape mode of an ipad mini, you might come
to the closer size of an ipad mini.

Re: Iphone 6 and 6 plus vs. 4s?

Very numerous, but here are just a few:

* Way better internals - more ram, faster processor, newest wifi, and so on
* NFC for making payments (coming soon)
* vastly improved camera
* Touch ID, for making payments, entering passwords, unlocking your phone, and 
more with just a fingerprint
* a much larger screen, making it easier to examine maps, webpages, and other 
content you would explore with a finger instead of flicking through
* lighter and thinner, though taller and wider - you will get used to it, but a 
6 or 6 Plus will be a shock at first
* far better support for iOS8, and more iOS versions in the future - the 4S 
will likely not get anymore updates, but the 6 will get them for years to come
* Overall, you'll find the 6 or 6 Plus a huge improvement in terms of speed, 
performance, and so on. Oh, and you'll get the Alex voice too.

Re: Iphone 6 and 6 plus vs. 4s?

2014-09-24 Thread Brent Harding
It will be interesting to see if Apple ends up coming out with a list of where 
Apple Pay will work in a given area? I suppose the unknowns are of whether it 
will work most places where Google Wallet on Android does now, and if the 
reverse will likely be true? I could see that being confusing if people see the 
NFC thing at places, or whatever indication there is that a place has it, and 
find out it only works with the one they don't have. I guess we'll have to see 
how the payment stuff shakes out.

It is on the same side of the iphone 4/4s, except instead of it being the
top, it is on the bottom of the iphone, to the left of the charger port.

I just took a look at the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and here's my observations

2014-09-21 Thread Joseph
Hello List,
I just looked at both the 6 and 6 plus. From the short time I was able to 
examine it, here's what I noticed.

This phone was on Wi-Fi, not cell service. So I didn't test the phone app.

1. VoiceOver worked extremely smoothly.

2. I didn't have any problems with the home button toggling VO on and off.

3. In notes and Safari, I didn't have any problems navigating using VO.

4. I connected my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and it worked well for the minute or 
so that I had it connected.

5. BTW, I love the 1 hand concept. It's really nifty and quite easy to use.

Now, after saying that, here's my personal conclusion.

I'll purchase a new 6 or 6 plus in the next month or so, without a doubt. While 
I suspect a few OS bumps along the way, it should be much better than my 4s.

Hello,
You bet. But for some reason, I spent a little more time with the Plus. I think 
it's just because that's the one I really felt most comfortable holding. I'd 
say about 5 minutes with the 6 and about 10 or so minuts with the Plus. I am  
really astounded with how well ballanced the phones were. But again, I still 
like the Plus. However, both phones really feel well built. Now, if they were 
only water resistant, that would be fantastic, wouldn't it?

Hi,

Most of your observation has to do with the ios8, not the hardware of
the phone or such though.

For me, 6+ can be hard to hold at the first second, but it can be
quite comfortable afterwards. I guess, it is just personal choice and
also, in some way, some people having some sort of resistant towards
bigger phone, with the concept that we are blind, we can do with a
smaller screen phone or such.

Re: I just took a look at the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and here's my observations

2014-09-21 Thread Danny Keys
Hello,
One thing that really stands out is this. In both the 6 and 6 Plus, the phone 
doesn't have the rather sharp feel of the 4s or the 5s. It feels kind of warn, 
or like something that fits just right. Kind of like an old glove. And it 
doesn't really feel metallic, instead it feels kind of warm. I don't know how 
else to say it. No sharp edges on either phone. The buttons are on the sides 
and no buttons on the top. The power button is on the right side of the phone. 
On the back of the phone is the video microphone, camera lens and the flash and 
light sensors. The lens sticks out about an eighth of an inch or so. The 
microphone is a small opening and the sensors and flash are between the mike 
and lense.
On the bottom edge from left to right earphone jack, Lightening port, 
microphone and speaker.
That's all I can think of for now.

Yes D, you got it right.

It is pretty rounded corner too.
I think that is what it is stand out from other phones. 5.5 can feel
a bit clunky to hold, but the iphone6+ is ust right. It is big, give
you that, but it is very nice to hold, to cradle it even.

I heard that the new ipad should release on end of october/early
november. Will be interesting to see the different in terms of size.
Rumour said ipad  comes to 10.7 screen and the mini become 8.9
screen or something.

 of the phone. On the back of the phone is the video microphone, camera lens
 and the flash and light sensors. The lens sticks out about an eighth of an
 inch or so. The microphone is a small opening and the sensors and flash are
 between the mike and lense.
 On the bottom edge from left to right earphone jack, Lightening port,
 microphone and speaker.
 That's all I can think of for now.

 Hi,

 Most of your observation has to do with the ios8, not the hardware of

 For me, 6+ can be hard to hold at the first second, but it can be
 quite comfortable afterwards. I guess, it is just personal choice and
 also, in some way, some people having some sort of resistant towards
 bigger phone, with the concept that we are blind, we can do with a
 smaller screen phone or such.

 the Plus. I am  really astounded with how well ballanced the phones

 But again, I still like the Plus. However, both phones really feel well

 Hello List,
 I just looked at both the 6 and 6 plus. From the short time I was able
 to
 examine it, here's what I noticed.

 This phone was on Wi-Fi, not cell service. So I didn't test the phone
 app.

 1. VoiceOver worked extremely smoothly.

 2. I didn't have any problems with the home button toggling VO on and
 off.

 3. In notes and Safari, I didn't have any problems navigating using VO.

 4. I connected my Apple Bluetooth keyboard and it worked well for the
 minute or so that I had it connected.

 5. BTW, I love the 1 hand concept. It's really nifty and quite easy to
 use.

 Now, after saying that, here's my personal conclusion.

 I'll purchase a new 6 or 6 plus in the next month or so, without a
 doubt.
 While I suspect a few OS bumps along the way, it should be much better
 than my 4s.

Re: I just took a look at the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus and here's my observations

2014-09-21 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I'm not sure if or when I'll get an iPhone 6, but I am interested in 
taking a look at it. I know this sounds shallow, but one of the reasons 
I held onto my Nokia phone as long as I did was because I disliked the 
feel of the iPhone 4 so much. I kept holding out hoping they'd come out 
with a phone that felt more like the iPhone 3. I just think the iPhone 4 
and iPhone 5 just feel like a glass sandwich.

Re: about the NFC in Iphone 6 and 6 plus

2014-09-19 Thread Christopher Chaltain
The NFC chip in the iPhones is only used with Apple Pay 
http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-bans-developers-from-using-iphone-6-nfc-2014-9


Even if Apple opens it up to be used with other apps and services, I 
wouldn't think you'd ever use it with a head set. The range for NFC is 
only a few inches.
