Re: Hmmm, iPad mini 3?
Think the processor and cameras are upgraded too. Nothing but the latest iMac grabs me, and not sure something that big should be that thin in case I bend it in my pants pocket.

Hi all, I just ran over to the Apple store website to compare the Mini 2 3. If I am reading things correctly, the only change is the addition of fingerprint security? For a minut, I thought the Mini 3 had upgraded wi-fi signals, but I’m not sure. They both say Wi‑Fi (802.11a/b/g/n); dual channel (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and MIMO. iPad2 says, Wi‑Fi (802.11a/b/g/n); dual channel (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and MIMO. Lol, that’s the same, correct? The iPad3 spacificly mentions 2 wi-fi antennas, where I cannot find those words for the 2nd Gen retina model. Anyway, what do you guys know about the differences in the 2 models?

Re: All of my five phone list emails or at least most of them seem to be going to my junk mailbox including ones I send
Hi Wren I think it is a gmail problem because on my PC with outlook express I get the problem that many emails are placed in the spam folder on the website and the bad thing is that outlook express does not have a spam folder so I have to go to the website to move the emails to the inbox folder.

Re: Question about west minster chime app
Yes, it is normal for the phone to vibrate twice on the hour and once for the half hour in your case but it will also vibrate once on the quarter hour and on the three quarter hour. Make sure in the app's notification settings you set show in notification centre to no more than one recent item, badges are off and the alert style set to none. You should also turn off show on lock screen.

apple pushing through mandatory ios 8 updates?
My wife has an Iphone 5s, I have a 4s. She did not buy Apple care for her phone, I did. This morning, she said Apple had pushed through the ios 8 update on her phone, mine is still showing 7.12. Why would this be? She uses screen zoom on her phone, and is now having difficulty adapting to the new unwanted update. I am a voiceover user. To my mind I am not sure it is fair for Apple to insist that everyone load the new ios update. This may be an unfair comparison, but a couple of days ago on my PC, Microsoft pushed through an i.e. 11 update. I use Jaws 14, which does not work well with i.e. 11. I was able to call for free the Microsoft disability support line to walk through removing the update because they understood the negative effect on my screen reader. By comparison, apple charges for their tech support, which my wife does not have, and there is no going back to the previous ios version. I think I like Microsoft's corporate policy better. Thoughts?

RE: apple pushing through mandatory iOS 8 updates?
Hi, Perhaps she has automatic updates turned on? I do not know if updates work that way with the IOS if you have updates turned on or not. However, I have mine set for manual updates so that I control when I update my apps and the spouse lets her apps update automatically. Very often I will know when an app has been updated before she does and sometimes I will have an app updated before she is aware there is even one available and has the update on her phone. Incidentally, I have not been forced to update to IOS 8 yet. Hope that helps, Merv -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

Re: apple pushing through mandatory ios 8 updates?
Hi Perhaps she has automatic updates turned on? This can be found and turned off by going to Settings, iTunes and App Store. With automatic updates turned on Apple forces the update to your device. I don't think that the update is installed unless she accepts the Terms Conditions Agreement. I could be incorrect on this. I know that I noticed that automatic updates was turned on and updating began on my son's iPod when I plugged in the iPod. I was able to stop the process by unplugging the iPod and turning off automatic updates.

Re: apple pushing through mandatory ios 8 updates?
App Store updates are automatic, but iOS8 will not install without the user's permission. It may download, but unless the user allows the process to continue, it will just wait until the user updates. Zoom is different, but to get the old method back, just go to Zoom's settings and choose full screen from the Zoom type near the bottom. The new method is one a lot of people seem to like - a square, inside of which is zoomed content. For some, this is a far superior method, but others like the old style, and now there is a choice between the two.

Response from TD Bank Mobile App Developers Regarding Reported Bugs
Hello, all. A couple weeks ago, I reported here about issues with TD Bank's web site and recent issues with the mobile app, the latter which had up to that point been completely accessible. Thanks to outreach by Karen Lewellen, another list member, I received an email from an app development representative,and I explained the issues to him. Yesterday, I received a response. Below, I have copied and pasted my original email to him and the response received. He assures me that the issues are up for fixing in a future app update. For now, the workarounds should suffice. Now I'm awaiting results of speaking with another TD Bank rep about the web site. Stay tuned. *** The mobile app has been fantastic until recently. Between last month and this, the layout changed slightly when paying bills, at least as far as I can determine with VoiceOver. The issue I am having is that when I input the payment amount, VoiceOver is speaking it but when I hit Submit it just stays on that screen. I had to have my husband write it in and hit Submit after turning VO off. Then, I attempted to check my Account history. I selected sixty days, and after the first screen, I hit the next button. Again, nothing happened. I have tried: 1. powering the phone off, then on, and trying again; 2. Resetting the phone; 3. Deleting, then reinstalling the app. Christine *** Hi again Christine, I sat with our testing group and I think we have figured out the issues and some potential workarounds for you. For bill pay after you enter your date and swipe right it is highlighting an icon for the pop up calendar. When you use voice over it is voicing that icon as Submit but that is not what it is for and I'm assuming that is why nothing is happening for you. As a workaround If you again swipe past that first submit it will read the next two objects as Failed visited link then it finally goes over to amount. If you continue on the next Submit you reach is the actual submit button. For the account history it appears as you swipe right through the history using voice over it never actually reaches the next page button. It will just loop. As a workaround if you reach the end of the history then swipe down it is letting us then highlight the next button. Both of these issues are new to us and seemed to have been introduced as of the launch of iOS 8. I've had them both logged to be fixed but hopefully these workarounds help you in the meantime. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

HTML documents and the KNFB reader
Hi, Just playing around with the reader and I'm wondering about something: I chose HTML for my format. I then printed my document. Now, I should explain: I had taken a shot of a page of teletext from my TV. As you might imagine, this has a particular layout. And so I chose to format the document as an HTML file. But when I printed it it came out as a straightforward paragraph. However, I did have to go via voice dream reader in order to be able to print the file. So, my questions are these: firstly, is there a way to print directly from the KNFB? Secondly, am I wrong in assuming that HTML implies a faithful reproduction of the original layout? I was very pleased when I first saw this option thinking, for the first time, that we could have the usefulness of OCR without the loss of formatting, but am I wrong? Any tips tricks answers et cetera, most appreciated! Sandy Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.

You can control whether your apps update automatically, but iOS updates are a bit different. They will automatically download, but you can choose whether or not you want to install them. You can delete the update but it will download again at some point. If you don't want to install it, then just know that whenever you go to General in Settings, 1 item will also show up. This is the current iOS 8 update that you can choose to install or not.

RE: rats! We must wait until Monday??
Scottsdale has WIFI, you have to accept it on your I-device, did it hundreds of times over the past several years when Tommy was in and have done so from my office also. Thing it is it does not stay connected if not actually in use so, if I was downloading a book and went to the cafeteria for dinner once that download finished within five minutes the WIFI turned off and when I wanted to do anything else like say check the bank (Tommy tried to slip a couple of expensive items by me saying it was his medications) I'd have to find those accept buttons again to check on the bank, unless I was running cellular only which I had to do a few times because our home network was down and Dummy me had no clue how to fix it.

Prismo manual and questions
Greetings. With all of the talk about the KNFB Reader app, I had forgotten that I had purchased Prismo a few years ago and then deleted it from my phone. I downloaded it from my purchase history last night. Does anyone know of a manual or documentation, other than what is in the app, for using Prismo? I read over the help documentation in the app and there's not much there. Partly I am wondering how the app will tell me that the picture is straight or if I am the appropriate distance away from the page. Any info would be greatly appreciated. For those that have Prismo, has anyone tried it on an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, and if so, how has your experience been?

RE: bluetooth keyboard quit working on my ipad minny
I assume you are dealing with the know fact that there are issues with using a bluetooth keyboard with iOS 8. Maybe You will probably get more detailed help if you mention the following: 1. When did you upgrade and did you use your bluetooth keyboard after the upgrade successfully? 2. What iOS device and what bluetooth keyboard do you have (not as important, but it won't hurt to know) 3. Are you aware of the various discussions and work-arounds that have been discussed, e.g. installing another keyboard under Settings, General, Keyboard and turning off quick nav? Since I don't know if you used your keyboard successfully with iOS 8 before, I guess it could also be as simple as your keyboard needing to be recharged or requiring new batteries.

RE: Hmmm, iPad mini 3?
iPad Mini Retina 3 did not get a camera or processor upgrade. It appears to be exactly the same except that the new iPad Mini has touch Id. I could be wrong, but I believe there used to be a 32 Gig version of the iPads before just as with the iPhone and that now Apple has dropped the 32 Gig size and you can only get a 16, 64 and 128 Gb iPad. The good thing is that now a 64 Gb costs as much as a 32 Gb last year and in the case of the iPad 2 (the one from last year) it's actually $100 cheaper. Even the new iPad Air pricing has come down by $100 so a 64 Gb iPad Air 2 now with A8X chip, 8 MP camera and Touch Id is $600. Not bad and I bet there will be retailers where you might even get a slightly better deal or other incentive if you buy one and there is probably an even better chance to get a deal on one of last year's iPad Minis if retailers want to reduce stock..

RE: Hmmm, iPad mini 3?
Hi Russ, If I were you I'd wait a year unless there is something wrong with your current iPad Mini. Yes, the iPad Mini Retina gives you a retina screen (probably not important for you) and it will give you the A7 processor which will give you a bit better speed. However, unless you really feel you need Alex which in my opinion sounds less clear than the default high quality female voice, why not get a third year out of your device and then upgrade next year when there will be some real changes. Just my thought on this.

Re: trekker vs. apps?
It will depend on your needs. If you are going to be out and about all day long and require a GPS system, then you would be better off with a Trekker and save your battery power for your iPhone. The GPS in the iPhone will really suck up the battery. On the other hand, if you just want a GPS app for just in case, then an iPhone GPS app will probably due. The Trekker however uses maps with more points of interest then some of the GPS apps and offers announcement of each street your passing by such as Jones street on your left or 3 way crossing. Jones street on your left, Smith road in front and Jones street on your right. This tells you that Jones street runs left and right and it assumes you know the street your already on. Far more detailed then many iPhone apps. So again, it will depend on your needs which way will be the best. Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2014!

Wow, I'd take that in a minute considering that a new iPad Mini Retina which I assume will now also come in 16, 64 and 128 Gb costs $299 and a new iPad Mini 3 64 Gb is $399, for what you would get and an extra $175 you could upgrade from 32 to 64 Gb and get Touch Id, definitely worth considering. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A.

Donna, Automatic updates refers to apps only, it will not automatically upgrade to iOS 8. In fact, if iOS 8 is in fact installed and not just downloaded to her device she or somebody else must have done this deliberately since you have to agree to Apple’s terms and conditions twice before the install actually starts.

Re: Hmmm, iPad mini 3?
The thing is, I haven't installed ios 8 on my first generation ipad mini. I'm wondering if it will make it run slower than it currently is with ios 7?

Re: Deleting Books from the Audible App: An Alternate Method
Hi Sieghardd, You know, I thought somewhere I had seen a listing of how many books were in my library, but I can't remember where. It might have been on the main site. As for the listening statistics, I have to confess, I don't really pay much attention to that. Although, I do remember when I switched devices a while back, I was momentarily mildly dismayed to find out that I was back at zero. I guess it just doesn't matter that much to me, but it does seem stupid that they don't back this information up, since it seems to be so important to them.

But it's better than nothing and hopefully others maybe request a better way to sort read from unread and there will be improvements with this.

RE: Hmmm, iPad mini 3?
Yes, it probably will make some difference, but then again as Apple refines iOS 8 it may run more efficiently on the slightly older devices and it's not like your iPad is that old. And if you do buy an iPad Mini 3 and maybe you wait a couple more months then 9 or 10 months later iOS 9 comes out and the next generation ipad Mini will be announced which most definitely then will get the A8 or even the nnewest A9 chip and you are once again in the same boat where maybe iOS 9 will run better on the newest devices and so on. My Mom is running iOS 8 on an iPad 2, that is the original large iPad second generation which I believe has an A5 processor and while she is not using voiceover, iOS itself works just fine. Your ipad |Mini as far as I remember would have an A6 or A6x processor and iOS 8 should run fine on that.

Re: trekker vs. apps?
I guess I'm lucky in that I still have my Maestro Trekker and my Trekker breeze. Although Humanware no longer supports the Maestro Trekker and hasn't for some time, the streets haven't changed in Las Vegas or at least where I live. I last used the Trekker/Maestro 6 or so months back to get to my doctor's appointment. He's around 20 miles from me. I was looking for his address in Maestro and found a previous route I had created. My sighted wife followed the instructions I was giving her from Maestro. One thing it can do is previous and next instruction so when she says what is the next instruction I can easily give her that information as well as to review the route with out even leaving the house.

RE: Prismo manual and questions
Hi Wayne, Prizmo has some sort of page detection which I found was very difficult to use but there is no feedback as to whether your phone is tilted or if your text is straight. That is definitely the big benefit of KNFB Reader and I think everybody who has used Prizmo and/or Text Grabber and now is using |KNFB Reader would agree that it is expensive but that it is definitely the best. I know David from New Zealand was very skeptical about it, but he has bought it now as well and posted a few weeks ago that he also recommends it and that he was impressed by its performance. Have you checked Applevis? I seem to remember that at some point there was a Prizmo Podcast.

RE: trekker vs. apps?
Allen, The Seeing Eye GPS app announces intersection just like the Maestro or Breeze do. I used to own a Maestro and later had MobileGeo which basically is the same but was designed for the old Windows Mobile platform and one thing I found even then when the information was updated was that a lot of POI's that the Trekker announced were not actually correct or even there any more. It seemed it was using outdated information even back then and given how fast businesses change these days I would guess that in most cases the POI information nowadays is pretty useless. I think here accessing online maps which get updated much more often is the way to go.

The Trekker however uses maps with more points of interest then some of the GPS apps and offers announcement of each street your passing by such as Jones street on your left or 3 way crossing. Jones street on your left, Smith road in front and Jones street on your right. This tells you that Jones street runs left and right and it assumes you know the street your already on.

To upgrade or not to upgrade, was: Hmmm, iPad mini 3?
Mary, I find it interesting how some people still have PC's running Windows XP and Jaws 10 which means said PC is probably 5+ years old, but in some cases the same people feel they have to upgrade a 2-year old iPhone or iPad or in some cases even a 1-year old device. We are definitely taught that consuming and spending is the way to go and for the last 10 or 15 years kids grow up like that. Many things are made as throw-away items (printers are a good example) and companies understand very well how to get people to fix things which aren't really broken. I bought my Mom's iPad 2 for her and if I suggested now that maybe she should upgrade to the latest iPad Air 2 because it was faster, thinner, lighter and had touch Id she would just ask me why she would want to do that since her iPad works perfectly well for what she does. She is of course correct.

Re: trekker vs. apps?
The streets themselves don't change much, but business locations, or whether they still exist, do change. So, if I'm looking for a point of interest such as a seafood restaurant, and there are several, and I choose to go to one, it's really not good to get there and find a shoe store instead, or to find that the restaurant no longer exists. It closed down 5 years ago. Also, routes from one city to another, or from one state to another that are plotted may no longer be feasible due to road construction or demolition within the last few years. --- Be positive!

Re: To upgrade or not to upgrade, was: Hmmm, iPad mini 3?
I sure wish Microsoft thought this way when it comes to operating system support. I did upgrade from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 in order to get Siri, and am still using the same phone. I'm thinking that, when I get the money, I may upgrade to a 6 plus for better battery life, but that's not going to happen for a while. I also plan to get the KNFB reader because of how well it does what it does, but that, too, is down the road. The only complaint I have about my current phone is that it is a 16 gig model. I sure wish we could use thumb drives. Well, maybe I should rephrase that, because we can get external storage devices for iPhones, but the price is far too high for my liking. --- Be positive!

Mary, I find it interesting how some people still have PC's running Windows XP and Jaws 10 which means said PC is probably 5+ years old, but in some cases the same people feel they have to upgrade a 2-year old iPhone or iPad or in some cases even a 1-year old device. We are definitely taught that consuming and spending is the way to go and for the last 10 or 15 years kids grow up like that. Many things are made as throw-away items (printers are a good example) and companies understand very well how to get people to fix things which aren't really broken. I bought my Mom's iPad 2 for her and if I suggested now that maybe she should upgrade to the latest iPad Air 2 because it was faster, thinner, lighter and had touch Id she would just ask me why she would want to do that since her iPad works perfectly well for what she does. She is of course correct.

Truth to tell, I still have an old iPad one, which I bought right when iPad 2 came out. It has not been upgradable since iOS 5. But a lot of things still work on it. To be sure, it is rather sluggish by today's standards. But it's great for reading books. All my book apps still run just fine.

And if you do buy an iPad Mini 3 and maybe you wait a couple more months then 9 or 10 months later iOS 9 comes out and the next generation ipad Mini will be announced which most definitely then will get the A8 or even the nnewest A9 chip and you are once again in the same boat where maybe iOS 9 will run better on the newest devices and so on. My Mom is running iOS 8 on an iPad 2, that is the original large iPad second generation which I believe has an A5 processor and while she is not using voiceover, iOS itself works just fine. Your ipad |Mini as far as I remember would have an A6 or A6x processor and iOS 8 should run fine on that. Apple may want you to buy a new device every year or every 2 years, but market studies show that especially with the ipad a lot of people are using them for much longer.

Hi Russ, If I were you I'd wait a year unless there is something wrong with your current iPad Mini. Yes, the iPad Mini Retina gives you a retina screen (probably not important for you) and it will give you the A7 processor which will give you a bit better speed. However, unless you really feel you need Alex which in my opinion sounds less clear than the default high quality female voice, why not get a third year out of your device and then upgrade next year when there will be some real changes. Just my thought on this. Regards, -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com

RE: apple pushing through mandatory ios 8 updates?
David, if your wife goes to Settings, General, About, and Version, does she have iOS 8.0.2 listed there? As others have said, Apple will download the latest iOS version to your device so it is available for update but you have to take specific action to authorize and install the update. In my case, my Settings, General, Software Update shows one item available which would be the most recent iOS 8.0.2 update. However, since I've not taken action to install that update, my Settings, General, About, and Version shows iOS 7.1.2.

My wife has an Iphone 5s, I have a 4s. She did not buy Apple care for her phone, I did. This morning, she said Apple had pushed through the ios 8 update on her phone, mine is still showing 7.12. Why would this be? She uses screen zoom on her phone, and is now having difficulty adapting to the new unwanted update. I am a voiceover user. To my mind I am not sure it is fair for Apple to insist that everyone load the new ios update. This may be an unfair comparison, but a couple of days ago on my PC, Microsoft pushed through an i.e. 11 update. I use Jaws 14, which does not work well with i.e. 11. I was able to call for free the Microsoft disability support line to walk through removing the update because they understood the negative effect on my screen reader. By comparison, apple charges for their tech support, which my wife does not have, and there is no going back to the previous ios version. I think I like Microsoft's corporate policy better. Thoughts?

RE: ipad mini 2 questions
And if you go for one of Apple's refurbished iPad Minis, the intorductory prices start at $209.95 and $250.00 for last year's model. I'm sure that if you look hard enough, you'll find a cheaper deal, but for something directly from Apple and the one year Apple Care, that's a very solid deal. In fact, the most exciting thing out of yesterday's event is probably the reduced pricing on the older devices. I'd been waiting to see if a new Apple TV was going to be introduced, but since that didn't happne and most likely won't for a while now, I think I'll just go grab myself a refurb model from Apple for $75.00. Again, a very nice deal when you take everything into consideration. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Friday, October 17, 2014 10:57 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: ipad mini 2 questions The $249 iPad Mini is the first generation in a 16 Gb version. I don't know why anybody would not spend $50 more and buy an iPad Mini Retina or, I guess now it's the iPad Mini 2, because it has the A7 64 bit processor as well as a Retina screen. This may not be important for you, but if you ever were to sell it that would probably get you your $50 back. Of course \I think it's even better to save up a bit longer and spend $399 for a 64 Gig iPad Mini 2. At least then you won't regret not getting more storage space and with apps getting bigger 16 Gb is not that much as it only leaves you around 12 Gb.

Re: Question about west minster chime app
Hi, You’re almost there really close in fact. Once you tap on the app any app in the notification center for which you want to make changes changing things such as whether it appears in notification center where it says on or off it’s merely a toggle so double tapping on that control toggles it either on or off. Further down where you select between alerts, banners and the like it’s an up or down flick that moves you through your choices. Once you flick to your choice which in this case would be no banners or alerts you can back out of that area of notifications and your setting will take hold. I hope this helps.

Re: iPhone Beeping
My phone is doing this as well ever since the update to iOS 8. I have not checked the time to try to determine whether it is happening at specific intervals since I only notice it when I have the headset disconnected. it is either the sound that indicates swiping to a new page or the sound that plays when it is not possible to flick in a direction. I know these sounds have actual names but I didn't memorize them. My iPhone 5 plays both of these sounds, seemingly spontaneously, while the screen is locked.

I cannot catch it occurring regularly, but quite often, around the top of the hour, one or the other of my devices will make a tone like when you swipe but are at the top or bottom of the screen. I have never heard them do it together. This occurs when the screen is off, but the device is not powered down. I really cant think of anything new, although I have updated some apps since the OS release. I have made sure nothing is running in the app switcher.

Re: apple pushing through mandatory ios 8 updates?
Hello David, does she have any kind of insurance on iPhone? The reason why I'm asking is because I recently had to call them, because of another issue I was having. I do not have AppleCare on the current home that I own either. But I pay for insurance through ATT. And they said if you're having a problem, We are able to help you via the phone anyway. So I took that report was worth and I never got a bill so I was happy about that. Pretty much what I'm saying, is is if she's having a problem she should still be able to call Apple. Hope this helps.

disappearing dictate button?
All, a friend not on list insists that his dictate button is gone; he was having issues and I think has reset his phone. IOS 8 was causing him issues and so he reset everything if I understand him correctly. Now he has tried to dictate messages, can find “next keyboard” and says only the spacebar is to the right, no more dictate button. Anyone have any ideas what I can tell him; if I have to I can manually try to fix his phone when we see him Sunday. Thanks.

RE: saving m4r files so they can be played as ring tones?
Only way to get ringtones onto your iPhone is via iTunes. You have to add the file to your iTunes tone library, just go to File, Add File to Library and browse to your M4R file. Then once it's in your tones library in iTunes, connect your phone, go to your device and check the tones radio button. Then either check to sync all ringtones or you can sync selected tones and then check the ones you want in the listview where they all show up. Once that is done go to Sync and activate it.

Re: apple pushing through mandatory ios 8 updates?
Hi Sieghard I'm still running IOS 7.1.2. When I go to iTunes App Store, under Settings; When I swipe down to automatic downloads, I can choose to turn on music, apps, iBooks updates. I'm assuming that the updates toggle on/off button applies to Apple's downloading the latest IOS version to ones device, being there options to choose to have or not have music, apps iBooks automatically updated. Am I assuming incorrectly? If my assumption is incorrect, what exactly is the Updates toggle on/off button for? I wasn't implying in my earlier message the latest IOS would be installed. Just that the download would be pushed onto one's device for installation when one is ready to install the update.

They have also dropped the price points so for $499 you can get the 16 GB WiFi, $599 you can get the 64 GB 'wiFi model and for $699, the 128 GB. .

The new Mini will be available in gold and have the touch ID sensor. Other then that, it's the same device. You're better off grabbing last year's model if those two features aren't important to you. I guess the other thing that is a plus is that pricing seems to be headed down. With the lack of a 32GB model, the 64 and 128 GB devices are $100.00 cheaper pushing the older versions down too. By offering the 16 GB iPads at the same introductory price, it's like Apple wants you to just buy the larger storage options instead. I guess if you're into the enhanced photo and video aspects with the new Air 2, the new versions may be interesting, but all in all, underwhelming. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Traci Duncan Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2014 2:27 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Hmmm, iPad mini 3? Hi all, I just ran over to the Apple store website to compare the Mini 2 3. If I am reading things correctly, the only change is the addition of fingerprint security? For a minut, I thought the Mini 3 had upgraded wi-fi signals, but I’m not sure. They both say Wi‑Fi (802.11a/b/g/n); dual channel (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and MIMO. iPad2 says, Wi‑Fi (802.11a/b/g/n); dual channel (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and MIMO. Lol, that’s the same, correct? The iPad3 spacificly mentions 2 wi-fi antennas, where I cannot find those words for the 2nd Gen retina model. Anyway, what do you guys know about the differences in the 2 models?

Re: apple pushing through mandatory ios 8 updates?
Yes, and you have to agree to them twice even. There is no accidental installation of a new upgraded to iOS. -- Raul A. Gallegos Oh Mario...if only I could control everyone the way I control you ...

I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

If anyone knows, feel free to correct me. It's just a different policy between Microsoft Apple on whether or not to CHARGE for Technical Services (InPerson and/or TelePhone).

This morning, she said Apple had pushed through the ios 8 update on her phone, mine is still showing 7.12. Why would this be? She uses screen zoom on her phone, and is now having difficulty adapting to the new unwanted update. I am a voiceover user. To my mind I am not sure it is fair for Apple to insist that everyone load the new ios update. This may be an unfair comparison, but a couple of days ago on my PC, Microsoft pushed through an i.e. 11 update. I use Jaws 14, which does not work well with i.e. 11. I was able to call for free the Microsoft disability support line to walk through removing the update because they understood the negative effect on my screen reader. By comparison, apple charges for their tech support, which my wife does not have, and there is no going back to the previous ios version. I think I like Microsoft's corporate policy better. Thoughts?
