Considering how many resources Facebook and other companies spend each year trying to eliminate fake news, I am constantly amazed at the number of people who are amused by these obviously fake and not amusing stories. If someone posted a fake story about a blind friendly device on May 22nd or a new Cumulative update on March fourteenth and then at the end of the message they said. Hey only kidding. Everyone would be angry. Not the least bit amused.

This may be available as early as this fall, the braille cells would take up part of the screen, but of course there still would be a smaller area which accepts the familiar touch gestures as well and it will be priced similarly to the rumoured iPhone 8 at just over $1,000 US. Below is a direct link to the Podcast, if you subscribe to Today in iOS you can quickly skip ahead and start listening at around 32 minutes into the Podcast. I am not much of a braille user myself, but I know many on this list use braille all the time and this would probably be a big hit for braille users.
