Yes, it is. And I like the action of that keyboard as well as it's quiet
operation. I'll be curious to see it working with IOS 8.

but Isn't the Apple Wireless keyboard considered a Bluetooth keyboard?
I believe it is. one would've hoped they tested and figured in BT
keyboards adequately. I recently got a Fujitsu LX360 which works pretty
well with iOS7 latest.

It's useable, and iOS 8 is stabil, but you may run into some
inconveniences.
It's hard for me to tell somebody to go ahead or not because everybody
is
different. Keep in mind that bluetooth keyboard support is very bad and
if
you are in the habit of manually dialing phone numbers iOS 8 is a pain
in
the neck because quite often as you dial one of the numbers just decides
to
stick and the DialTone goes on and on. As a minimum you have to bring up
the
app switcher and throw the phone app out, then try again. Prior to the
Goldmaster I had to actually totally shut down the phone and reboot in
order
to stop the DialTone.

Are you willing to comment as to whether version 8 is not very usable
with these bugs or not? I'm one of these who wants to install new
things asap regardless of the consequences. However, if it is so buggy
that it's hard to use then I won't. The problems which people
complained about last year didn't bother me to much if that says
anything.

A very positive article, what it unfortunately does not mention is that
iOS
8 at this time (the Goldmaster or release version) has the most Voiceover
issues of any release and some of these are not just little things like
Voiceover saying "Screen Locked" twice which it did for a long time after
iOS 7 was released.
I have been running the iOS 8 Beta since June and as far as I can tell
Apple
has listened to hardly any of the feedback and bug reports provided by
blind
beta testers. There have been 5 Beta versions and now the Goldmaster and
almost all of the most serious and annoying bugs are still there. I hope
that they react faster once the public release happens next Wednesday and
hopefully blind people start flooding Apple Accessibility with emails and
phone calls about these issues.
I will post a list of the 5 or so bugs which bug me the most and which I
know other beta testers have reported as soon as the iOS 8 update comes
out.
Anybody who wants to read about them just look for a post on Wednesday,
September 17 with subject "The top 5 most annoying bugs in iOS 8 with
Voiceover".
What bothers me is that a few of these issues are not specifically
accessibility related and they don't happen if Voiceover is not running
but
as soon as Voiceover is on you suddenly are plagued by this and that.
