Re: AG Debate: Apple Watch Acccessibility, Equals More iOS Blind Users?
I will agree on that score. Apple do many things I don't like, their proprietory attitude to data and software development, their bloody annoying insistance on not letting you have any control over your media organization, their habbit of ramming so called "Vertical intigration" ie, just allowing support and connectivity between their own devices and system using their own software (Itunes on the Pc at least is the spawn of satan!).
However, all that being said I can't deny the fact that Apple have come up with a bloody good screen reader that runs by default, can interact with all of an Ios device's native functions and handles a touch screen interface extremely well, and because of that compatibility there are a huge number of very awsome aps being developed for Ios, from games, to satnavs, to recognition aps etc.
I'm not one of the priests of Apple who think everything they do is covered in golden glorious shiny goodness a nd rale against heretics for using any other system, ---- indeed the way such people actively support Apple's monopolistic policy sort of gets up my nose, however I will say there is no denying there are huge bennifits to Ios, and I'd highly recommend an Iphone as a device just on the basis of what it does and what has been released for it.
That is why while I haven't bothered with the Iphone 6 series (sinse there really is nothing wrong with my Iphone 5), I probably will be keeping an Ios device around in the future, indeed depending upon it's functionality I suspect I'll be trading my Iphone 5 in for a 7 at some point in the next few years.
Of course, whether I bother with the Apple watch is another question entirely.
