Hello All, Well, quite unexpectedly, I updated my 8 Plus to the latest version of iOS 13, today. This is to say, I thought the system would ask me to agree to the terms of service, before updating but, for the first time in my history with the company, it did not. Instead, it went right ahead and updated then, after rebooting, it asked if I agreed to the terms of service (smile). I'm not blaming apple, too much, after all, I freely entered my phone's pass code which permitted the update.
Be that as it may, I must say that I have no major problems with the latest commercial release version of iOS 13. I am careful to mention that I am referring to the commercial release because I am running the latest iPad OS beta on my iPad Pro. After updating, I have been trying to reproduce many of the issues I've read about here on the list. I am happy and surprised to report that I cannot reproduce any of them on my 8 Plus. This is to say, call routing is performing as expected. Call waiting and all things call related are working just fine. Try as I may, I have not yet managed to lose VoiceOver or any hap tic feedback before, during, or after making any calls, even those on Face Time. Mind you I've only had iOS 13 on my 8 plus for 1 days so who knows what tomorrow may bring but, for now, all of my go-to apps, such as Nearby Explorer, Over Drive, all of my banking apps, Twitter, and all of the native apps appear to be working as expected. The only annoying thing I have noticed, so far, is that when typing in a contact, when composing a text message, VoiceOver does not read the label associated with a particular number. I will file a bug report on this, tomorrow. Steps to reproduce: 1. >From within the messages app, compose a new message. 2. Place focus in the, "To" field. 3. Type in the first few letters of a contact's name such as "dav" for the name "David." Now in previous versions of the OS, VoiceOver would say something like, "David Johnson, Mobile." In this release, it merely says, "David Johnson, 800-555-1212." Which may or may not be David's mobile number. As for the second thing I have noticed is that now, thanks to iOS 13 and Watch OS 6, my seemless VoiceOver audio switching between the watch and the phone no longer works on my Plantronics Voyager Edge. At least, I cannot get it to work. I can get audio from either device but no longer does it do so automatically. Thanks Apple. If anyone out there has got this working, please let me know how you accomplished it. Okay, that's all for now. In the Journey, Mark. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
