Yes, and a recent report I read stated a very nice accidental improvement in battery technology. We should see this improvement next year. It reportedly will double battery life. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone > On 15

Re: iPhone 6S?

No, the battery drain is primarily from the GPS signal being so weak. The power drain from the mobile connection is quite minor in comparison. I have almost equivalent battery drain whether I use unboard maps from TomTom, or internet based maps from AppleMaps or GoogleMaps. David Chittenden

Re: iPhone 6S?

That is another pattent Apple received earlier this year. Apparently, they figured out a way to have the fingerprint sensor read the print from anywhere on the screen (at least in theory). David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone

Re: Handwriting on an iPhone

Whilst on the home screen, turn the rotor to handwriting. draw the first letter , and then each subsequent letter, of the app name. At any time, use a two-finger flick down to cycle through the matching apps. Double-tap to open the selected app. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten

Re: Handwriting on an iPhone

. It works well for low vision people in school as well. You cannot handwrite in any app we know of with VoiceOver running. The app, 7 Nots HD, Prem will allow VoiceOver to read what was written, but VO blocks the ability to write in the app whilst VO is running. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email
