Re: where will you purchase the iPhone 5s

I'm planning on purchasing the unlocked device only, but I'm not sure if I should go to an Apple store or order it online. I would really like to get it this weekend, as I'm busy with work and travel after that and I have some time to set it up now. Part of me really hates the idea of actually

Speaker Phone with Voiceover

Hi, everyone. Sometimes, my phone switches to speaker phone automatically when I double tap to answer a call and bring the phone to my ear. This only started happening after I updated to IOS 7. Before that, I could always double tap, immediately lift the phone to my ear and start talking with the

Re: no unlocked 5s when ordering from the Apple Store

This is correct. In the US, you now have several options for buying an unlocked phone: 1) Buy the t-mobile, device only phone on apple.com. You'll pay the full price, and it will come with a t-mobile sim already., but it's fully unlocked and you can use whatever sim you want with it. 2) Go to an

Re: VO sounds

I love being able to turn VO sounds on and off. It might be one of my favorite, most used features of IOS 7. I often want to silence the ringer and text message volume but keep VO clicks on. I use VO sounds for orientation purposes and always felt disoriented when they weren't on before. For

Listening to Voiceover

Hi, I'm curious to know how you all listen and use your phones when you're out in public. Do you use earbuds and an earpiece, or do you turn the speech down low and do your best? In noisy environments most people can just look down at their phones. If you use speech, you want to be able to hear

Vibrate and keyboard clicks

Hello, everyone. Is it possible to keep keyboard clicks on while the phone is on vibrate mode? I like keeping my ringing volume on vibrate but I also hate typing on the keyboard when I don't have auditory clicks or feedback. Even when keyboard clicks are turned on under sound, you will not hear

Tiny External Battery

Hi, Does anyone here use a small, external battery pack? I'm considering different options, but I'm not sure if I really need one of the giant packs that fits in a bag or briefcase. I know many of you use 6,000 or even as high as 18,000 mAh packs, but that's just one more thing you have to carry

iPhone Keyboard

Removing a SIM

Hi, everyone. Is there anything I should be aware of when removing a SIM card from one iPhone and transferring it to another? I’m getting a new unlocked 6 Plus tomorrow, and I’ll probably switch out the Nano SIM from my 5S myself – something I’ve never done before. I understand that the Nano SIM

Re: Google Maps+Blindsquare or Seeing Eye GPS?

The Seeing Eye app gives detailed information about intersections, includes turn-by-turn directions and can also optionally pull POIs from Google Places instead of just four Square. Otherwise, Google (or Apple) maps plus BlindSquare is a fantastic combination. You won’t get detailed intersection

Re: Uber and Siri?

Hi Jenifer, I’ve played around with ordering Uber with Siri. IMO, the experience is not customizable enough for what I need. When you ask Siri to book a ride, she asks what type of ride you want, and then tells you how far away the ride would be and asks if you want to book it. I like to specify a

Turn-by-turn directions are no longer fully announced with VoiceOver as of iOS 11. If spoken directions indicate to "turn left on King Street in .5 miles," VoiceOver only announces "0.5 miles, King street" when exploring the screen. This means that VO users who turn off audio announcements can no
