market today, except for all the other ones.

Yes iOS 8.1 is a one way trip and no it is no longer possible to downgrade to
7.1.2 afterwards.

Hi,
In response to Pam’s question from way back in this thread, you’re absolutely
correct in that there should be a reasonable expectation for accessibility
within Apple’s stock apps. Apple has been put to task for this in the past
prior to iTunes becoming accessible and, with respect to their
So, if im correct, The upgrade to 8.1 (if i do it) will be a one way trip?
Is there any way to downgrade back to 7.1.2?

Whatever did blind people do in the Dark Ages, before accessibility
became part of the language? As long as you have owned Apple products,
have you ever had a product with zero defects in hardware, software,
accessibility features?

What I find interesting is this notion that we are rewarding or punishing a
company, as if it makes a major difference. The difference is actually five
years ago, we wouldn't be having this discussion at all. The fact we even have

Rewarded? Oh, you mean, by buying more Apple goodies. I'd venture a
guess that Microsoft and Google would suffer the same. Maybe not?
Perhaps they are better?
As I said before, I am running 8.1 and notice little difference.
Maybe my own expectations are too low.

Hi. Well said Tim. Nothing good will come if we're not reasonable. For example,
when I received the first public beta of Yosemite, for some reason Text Edit
wouldn't open any files ending with the .docx extension. I immediately launched
the Feedback Assistant app and reported this bug to Apple.
