Hi,

No, which is why I've used Skype in the past. But I can forward calls to my

Thanks for this. In Sierra, when you come across a cell in Numbers that has a
comment, VoiceOver will say “has a comment” after it’s announced its
co-ordinates. In High Sierra VoiceOver doesn’t give any indication that a cell
has a comment. I will report this.

That's one thing I really hate about the X you have to take it out to

Hi,
Yes, whatever model suits your needs and budget is likely the best. I don't

gave me one. I don't find the Face ID to be a security problem and I seem to
remember a lot of noise about the finger-print sensor when
I don't understand the fuss. We are talking about a mainstream
device, right? And we also live in the digital age where virtual crime
runs rampant. If Face ID adds a layer of security, all the better.

The thing that makes me sad is that Apple, by all accounts, including theirs,
