Hello All, I first sent this message to the list, yesterday, Friday, at around 12-noon, local time but the mailing list servers were down.
So, I am posting this again, now. Mark Original Message Posted on Friday, September 22, 2023: Hello All, Well, I spent 3 hours in the Apple Store this morning with both a 15 Plus and a 15 Pro Max running iOS 17. As for the physical devices? They definitely weigh less than the 14 series. I am happy to report that I could not reproduce any of the VoiceOver problems discussed on the list, of late. For example, the single-finger, double-tap problem simply does not exist on the 15 models I tested. I had a friend of mine, the executive manager of the store, download a few third-party apps such as Amazon, Libby, and Yelp. To my delight, VoiceOver functioned just as expected. Of course, I was not able to test VoiceOver functionality with my personal primary third-party app; so in no way am I suggesting that my testing was definitive or comprehensive. However, I can say that my first experience with iOS 17 was a good one. I was delighted to discover that while there were hundreds of preorder customers waiting in-line, outside the location, the store had plenty of iPhone 15 models, in all four major categories, ready to be purchase by those of us who did not preorder. I wasn't planning on buying a 15 but I have to admit that I really, really like that new action button, featured on the Pro models. Perhaps I'll pick up a 15 Pro Max in the next week or so, after I've given it some thought. I did, however, purchase a set of wired Ear Pods with the USBC connector and the USBC to Lightning adaptor so that I can continue to use my already purchased Lightning Ear Pods with USBC devices. It's all about "baby steps" (smile). Your Brother in the Journey, Mark -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
