For me the smaller size and 2 hours more battery life over the 8 Plus would be
pretty compelling reasons to fork out the extra cash for an iPhone X. Of course
that is also a really good reason for anybody who has a 6S/6S Plus or 7/7 Plus
to simply fight the urge to run out there and buy a new
If I upgrade to another Iphone this year, it's the 8 plus for sure. I
am not even in to smaller devices but would even consider going for
the 8 256 gb before I would buy the X. I want to give them another
year to get down face id, and I am really more of a touch id fan

I’m going to premiss my comment with a thought regarding Screen Curtain; as I
recall there had been a thread on this very e-mail list that concluded that
deploying Screen Curtain did not truly result in lowering battery drain. If my

Yes, but what if you’re one of the Joneses?
Apple’s basically got eight different models with different storage sizes to
choose from now.
Something for everyone. I’m more inclined to stick with a finger print model
for at least one more year and probably by next year the face ID thing will be

The price
The price isn't going to go down very much this year. Unlike what happens with
android phones, where you see all kinds of discounts and deals and two for one
at Cetera, don't look for any big deals on the iPhone ex. Besides, as a blind
person, it makes zero sense to buy this phone. You get
that price will come down over time if the market is anything to go on.

I couldn't agree more. If I were in the market this year, I would get an 8+. No

would it not be better to have the phone on a flat surface so that the scanning
device at least is steady?

I think
The iPhone X offers nothing for a visually impaired person that would warrant
the increased price. The iPhone 8 should service the needs of a visually
impaired person well.

I love the short text channel on Seeing AI. I almost stopped using KNFB reader
entirely because of that. I used to use KNFB reader mostly to identify the
pieces of mail I get, but now I use seeing AI instead.

I think OCR results also depend on who is doing the scanning since there are
people on this list who say they can’t for the life of them even get anything
good with KNFB Reader.
If the print is good I get near 100% accuracy both with KNFB Reader and the
document scanning channel in Seeing AI.
I say this because I have been using OCR apps, including text detective, text
grabber prizmo, KNFB reader and others since iPhone 4S and have not seen a huge
OCR improvements. In other words the OCR improvements do not match the huge
changes in the photo quality across the various releases of
Why do you say developers of OCR apps have not taken full advantage of the
camera capabilities of the 6S and 7? Just curious how you know this?
