Good question. I forgot to mention that. It seems more responsive. Whether that is the better processor or the screen that is designed to be more responsive, I won’t take a guess at. My experience thus far though, is VO is more responsive, but not too much so as to be a problem.

Thanks On 8 Oct 2021, at 12:22 AM, Richard Turner <richardturne...@outlook.com<mailto:richardturne...@outlook.com>> wrote: iPhone 13 Pro, 256 GB, Sierra Blue (not that the color matters.) ESR clear case. I received the phone on September 25th. I've already mentioned in a previous note about the setup process so won't repeat that here. First of all, I like the phone very much. I like the size, I have no issues with the gestures to unlock, go home, do the app switcher, control center, or notification center, and no issues with Face ID. Compared to the SE 2020 it replaced, the sound is amazing! It is faster in downloading things like BARD Books, though since they put their library on the Cloud, it is pretty darn fast even on a first generation SE; but noticeably faster on this phone than even the SE 2020. The battery life is truly excellent! I wanted to wait until I had used it over a period of a week or two to say anything about the battery. I have had several days where I used the phone for a lot of hours, 8 or more, for playing music, streaming videos, reading and writing emails, reading the news, exploring settings, etc. I can easily get the bulk of two days use before putting it on the charger at night. I use the screen curtain all the time. I have brightness set to auto, so when I check it, it is always at 0; and since having the brightness very low saves battery life, this could be a big help in this area. I usually will turn VoiceOver off if someone needs to see the screen, so when I turn VoiceOver back on, the screen curtain is in place. Once in a while I just toggle off the screen curtain; but I have to remember to toggle it back on when they are done. A side note about the charger; when I was helping a friend with her iPhone 12 Pro purchase at the Verizon store, the MagSafe Apple wireless chargers were on sale for $30; so I got one. They are only safe on the 12 and 13 iPhones. My friend got one as well. It works great! The phone charges in 2 to 3 hours from under 10% to full. The Lidar Sensor works quite well with Seeing AI's World channel, but they need to increase the number of objects it recognizes, which they are working on. Super Lidar, the free app from SuperSense has a very useful feature if you travel alone and have either a way to wear the phone with the camera facing forward, or are comfortable holding it with the camera facing forward. It identifies people, and if they have no mask, it says "Person without a mask" or something like that. That kicks in when they are getting close to you. In Super Lidar, the proximity sensor vibrates faster as you get nearer an object, so I could see it helping when in line at a store or somewhere, to know if the person ahead of you has moved up in the line. I have not taken it for a walk as yet, but while riding in a car, GoodMaps Outdoors, does a great job of keeping up with intersection announcements. I think the processor speed may help there but I have not tried GoodMaps Outdoors on any other device. OCR with Voice Dream Scanner, Seeing AI, SuperSense are all excellent of course. That is about all I have to say at this point. Feel free to ask about anything I have not mentioned.
