When I asked it to check the weather, with VoiceOver on it will describe the current condition, the temperature, and a summary of the conditions for the next few days. With VoiceOver off all Siri says is, "ok. here is the weather", and displays and not reads it.

Have you guys noticed Siri behaves differently whether VoiceOver is on or off? 
With VoiceOver on Siri is more descriptive but with VoiceOver off Siri is less 
than helpful and expects you to look at any information presented. Just saying.

Yeah, the only sure fire way that I can think of to get it to work would be to 
turn off voice over, and even then it won't work half the time. Sometimes it 
will work, but it is hit or miss, I might ask it a few things and it might be 
spot on sometimes, but that's only sometimes.

I agree that the usability of Siri has plummeted.

It has failed to make 3 calls in the last 10 minutes alone  even though it
announces that it is calling the number.

I think you're a little confused.  The 5C does not go any higher than the
32 gig model, but the 5S goes all the way up to 64 gigs.  I just wanted to
clarify, as I can see where that may be confusing.

I love ios7 and all its glory.  It's accessible with some quirks and some
pas crash and brake, but I'm sure that will come in time. But as for access
issues others are reporting I'm not ringing them. Yu just need to practice
some of the jesters  until you can do them in your sleep. Where did you hear
the 64 gig model was *not* going to be around anymore? I did not hear such a
thing even in the key note in june.

Hi Lynn,
Personally, I like IOS 7.

some of the gestures took some getting used to, and I still struggle with
a few of them, but that's me and not the OS!

We upgraded both our phones from i phone 4's to the 5C, 32 g model.  IOS
7 does run a bit faster on the new phones, but we didn't play around a lot
with the older phones, either.  I am also running the new OS on my i pad 2
and it's a bit sluggish, but this doesn't make it unusable.

I'm not sure what's available in the UK, but here in Canada, you can
definitely buy a 5S in the 64 g model.

Hello everybody

Firstly, let me just say that I'm not interested in what the "fat cats"
and the professional analysts say; I'm looking for genuine user opinion
here. I just wondered what you all make of iOS7.02 now that it is public, in
terms of accessibility primarily, and functionality as a secondary topic.
Speaking as somebody with vision, on the outside looking in as you might
say, it seems to me that Apple has maintained its reputation and commitment
as far as iOS is concerned, to accessibility. Although I haven't gave much
of an opportunity to play around with VoiceOver yet, from the visual
perspective iOS7.02 is gorgeous. I love the way that applications can now
interact, and the gestures which were there in iOS6 have been improved upon.
Of course, Apple's errors which only came to light when iOS7 hit the streets
were a little embarrassing for them I would think. But in fairness, they did
move swiftly to address them and now, we would seem to have as secure a
mobiles operating system as we can reasonably expect.

I do have one query though. I remember reading in the release notes that
there are a small number of functions which only apply to the iPhone5,
iPhone5C and iPhone5S. Is there anybody who has upgraded since the release
of iOS7 to an iPhone5, iPhone5C or iPhone5S from an earlier model and has
noticed a significant increase in functionality? If so, what were the
significant differences that you noticed?

I am toying with the idea of upgrading all of our iPhones to the 5S. But
I seem to remember that there is no longer a 64GB model available. Our
iPhones are currently all the 4S 64GB models. They work fine, and if I'm
going to upgrade there's have to be significant reasons. Yes, the dual
cameras would be nice, but not essential.

I very much welcome your input, and I hope that we can maintain a
cordial and productive discussion.

Warm regards

Lynne
