Hi, Maybe so. haha. I still think “hints” is a bit misleading. I just turned hints on and, its not just telling me what things do, its giving me access to information I had no idea even existed. For example, with hints off, the weather widget in notifications center tells you the current temp, day or night, and weather condition. With hints on, bringing Voiceover focus to the widget tells you that plus the high and low temperatures for the next 5 days. That’s a lot more than a friendly hint to double tap.
But like you said, maybe there will be a change pertaining this in IOS 7.
