I think it comes down to personal preference. As you have said, accessibility is equal on both platforms. The way the screen readers work is also similar. There are a couple of differences. Android is more configurable, it has less restrictions. Also, many think that Google's voice features are better. On the other hand, with IOS, all currently supported devices receive the software updates as soon as they are released. With Android, this is only the case with the devices sold by google. With other brands, you have to wait until the manufacturer or carrier decides to release the update, or install a custom rom such as cyanogen which tends to release updates much faster. Both platforms have many apps available, and in many cases, the same apps are available on both platforms. With IOS, you would need to make sure you like the form factor of one of the current iphones. Again, it really comes down to personal preferences. We actually have the same platform choices as sighted consumers, and can access them at no extra cost which is the way it should be. > On May 20, 2017, at 2:23 AM, Douglas Cameron <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hey guys.
