April fools has to be the worst and most pointless holiday out there. It would be cool if and when they ever get taptic technology developed to the point to where lines and dots could be simulated on the screen as though there were actually Braille present.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Saturday, April 1, 2017 3:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Apple rumours hint at special iPhone for the blind with integrated 2-row 20-cell braille display Hi, In the most recent Today in iOS Podcast which I listened to this morning at around the 32 minute mark, Rob mentioned that apparently reliable sources from Mac Rumours and 9to5Mac said Apple is working on a special iPhone for the blind with a 20-cell braille display. 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. Here now the link, if you listen by going to this link on a computer look for the button Jaws speaks as "Unlabelled 0": http://tii.libsyn.com/tii-item-0424-ios-103-gold-master-and-ios-1032-beta-1 Regards, Sieghard -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
