Mark on iPhone 13 from an iPhone 8 Perspective

Hello Everyone, I've enjoyed reading all of the comments on iPhone 13. To say that I was disappointed that this year's iPhone models do not have any kind of fingerprint reader, would be the understatement of the season. So, as for me, I have updated my beloved 8 Plus to iOS 14.8, had a new batte

HomePod problem

I have a stereo pair of HomePods which was working just fine yesterday. This evening, I went to watch my Apple TV through the HomePods, and they are not responding at all. Siri doesn’t respond. Touching the top of the homePod eels no sound, and in the home app, I am informed on helpfully that th

If I could I would probably go for that Sierra blue. There is just no way I am upgrading my watch and phone right now though. Right now I have the normal blue watch and blue phone. On 9/15/21, Simon A Fogarty wrote: > Ok, that's a pastel blue from memory. > > Cheers. > > -Original Message

RE: Initial thoughts after today's Apple Event

Simon, You have to remember, Apple makes up names for their colors. My wife describes Sierra Blue as a light Sky Blue. All of their colors, she says, are in the pastel hews. It is only on the 13 pro and pro max. The regular 13 and 13 mini have Midnight, which is basically black. They also have

Yeah I spoke to apple about the s7 watch yesterday, I asked what the star light colour was and she said that it's a cream type colour A combination between gold and silver. Which is what Richard said yesterday. Again a colour to attract the Asian / Chinese market who like the bling colours. -

I'll be curious to see your feedback Alan. I wasn't a fan of slide to type when I gave it a brief look because it forced me to use just one finger. I may give it another look to see if it's advantages outweigh that negative. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook From: viphone@googlegroups

Hi LeDon, I might have to revisit the slide to type setting. When I tried it with iOS 14, I wasn't impressed but I was comparing it to FlickType which I will no longer have at some point. I'll play around with the slide to type setting a bit later and report back with my results. Alan Lemly

Hi List, I'm looking for an alternative to FlickType for when I have to upgrade my iPhone SE 2020 or upgrade to iOS 15 and no longer have a working FlickType app. Can anyone using Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard comment on its accessibility and what on screen typing is like using it with Voiceover?

I hold my phone in my left hand and do gestures with the right, but am fortunate enough not to have any problems with my hands. However, I do not think I could hold my phone in the same hand that I was using for gestures. I don't use Siri all that much. -Original Message- From: viphone
