I'm sure you're being sarcastic, and I'm not saying Android
accessibility has caught up to IOS yet, but it's vastly improved and is
definitely an option for some. It should be even better when Android L
comes out next month. Samsung has also added quite a few accessibility
features to their handsets on top of what's already included in Android.
It seems to me that Google does care about the blind.
* ChromeVox is a screen reader built into ChromeOS and it works on
Chrome Books and in the Chrome browser.
* Talk Back is a screen reader included in Android.
* Google has greatly improved the accessibility of Google Docs, both
with ChromeVox and 3rd party screen readers.
* Chrome now works with 3rd party screen readers as well as ChromeVox.
* Apps like Google Maps and Hangouts have become much more accessible on
Androind and IOS.
Sure they could do more, but it seems to me like they do care and
they're doing a lot more than others.

I can say right now from using android the caller id bug you would not
have there 3rd party caller id apps that you can get the point is if
apple is not meeting your needs then it may be time to look at other
options. I certainly wouldn't upgrade to IOS 8. It would appear that
apple is not fixing bugs. I know people who have IOS and they have
never seen so many accessibility bugs.

I
know, at one time, Apple was in the forefront of accessibility. I gave
them
high praise and they deserved it. But, as some of my Mac user friends
have
said, they seem to have lately been resting on their former reputation
and
less on getting it right the first time. Obviously, they knew about all
of
these iOS bugs before release. This is why they have beta testers who
are
blind and have low vision. Yet, they decided that was more important to
get
it to people who see, than to wait until it was just as ready for people
who
are blind or have limited vision. Shame, shame, shame on you Apple, I
thought you were a better company than that. Put your development where
your
mouth is and fix the many problem issues in iOS 8. Otherwise, don't
claim
to
be such a friend of people who are disabled.

I'm sure that we can. All we have to do is to wait until they can get
it
to
us. I will patiently wait.
