Remember that this is a new feature for everyone, not just the blind. As future updates and iOS releases come out, we will probably see Apple implement haptic feedback more. In fact, this may be laying the foundation for something we may see next year on the 2017 iPhone or in iOS 11. Time will

Hi Mary, I just want to make sure you understand what haptic is referring. According to part of the deafblind culture, that the haptic means like feel and touch. I do understand from what Wayne is talking about. Wane, thank you for sharing with us about the new feature of the haptic

OK. Different strokes. It's just too bad that we're not apparently going to have a way of differentiating feedback that provides additional information as opposed to feedback that reinforces. Mary Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 20, 2016, at 8:00 PM, Woody Anna Dresner

Hi Mary, I like the haptic feedback when going through a table index. There's a click every time you switch letters, and if you move through them quickly, the clicks are fast. It just reinforces my sense of how quickly I'm moving through the list. There's also a click-type vibration when many

So I guess it's an all or nothing setting, right? I'm kind of intrigued by the uses of this home button with the different possible vibration patterns providing information supplemental to or as a replacement for speech. But I can't see the use for it in a table index. It seems like it might be

So are there actually two speakers on this phone and I'm curious as to where they are located? We've had stereo speakers on old school nokia phones for years so it is nice improvement. On 9/18/16, Miller Family wrote: > So, I ordered mine from T-Mobile, since verizon

Hi Wayne, I am curious if haptic feedback in the apps can be turned off. For instance, I honestly don't think I would like to have haptic feedback when going through a table index. That's fine for people who wanted. But if you don't, can you kill it? I'm getting on 7+, but I have to wait, since

Hi: I just saw this thread. I got mine last Friday evening and love it! One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is the haptic feedback you get when doing certain things on the phone, such as adjusting a table index. Each time a new letter is announced the whole phone vibrates: This is very

Hi Jim, The 7 is the same size as the 6, and the 7 Plus is the same size as the 6 Plus. The new phone definitely sounds better, with the stereo speakers. It's also faster, particularly than the 6 and earlier models. The haptic feedback and 3D Touch are nice as well. Only having one port for

Hi, I'm writing this using onscreen braille input on an iPhone 7. The inability to use six dots at a time has nothing to do with screen size. It's just that the multi-touch system on all iPhones can handle up to five fingers at a time. To enter all six dots on any phone, hold down five
