If Apple were a european company or especially German company they would have faked it so the braille support only worked in the government agency’s office responsible for certifying braille support. It would have failed in the real world. Sort of the same philosophy as the German Auto manufac

Again, we do this in my state. Blind persons can get what ever adaptive equipment especially for work. This could be radically different state to state though. You don’t need braille displays though to be literate in braille and teach / learn. I imagine it helps but they definitely didn’t exi

I would say more memory is always better, if you can up that to 16GB or more that’s probably a worth while thing if you’re going to do a lot of heavy work. Audio itself isn’t bad but if you run a lot of tools in parallel etc. The SSD size depends on what you’re storing. If you have an external
