I know Apple can do well. I've seen it a lot in iOS. But we just have bugs upon bugs to deal with, and I'm just not sure what the quality control people do with accessibility. For example, right now there is a bug in iOS where if you use a bluetooth keyboard and arrow arround, and you hit a space, it won't say space at all. Sure, the smallest of bugs, but it still makes Apple look sloppy, just like Google. Google has had this problem with Docs for ages, but everywhere else Apple is wonderful, but they're starting to fail at accessibility.
