Re: Questions about face ID

[Michaelmaslo04]

 
 

 Hello,
 

 
Their will be no issues with facial hair. I do not shave every day and have no 
issues whatsoever. Regarding to the mask, I am unsure of that. I wear sun 
glasses and have no problems with that. Of course that is not a mask so I am 
unsure.  
 
 
 
 
 Sincerely,, mike

Re: Questions about face ID

[Michaelmaslo04]

 
 

 Hello,
 

 
I sleep with my phone all the time. I never have any trouble unlocking it when 
I get up. The conveniences for me are unspeakable
 
I was able to set up my phone without any difficulties at all. I am totally 
blind and no issues were had
 
I personally would never go back to finger print access but that is me.

Bluetooth headset

[michaelmaslo04]

 
 
 
Hi list,  
 

 
I was wondering if any one could give me a idea on the best bluetooth headset I 
can get. I have a awesome pair of bose sound link. They have unbelievable sound 
quality. I am looking for a second pair to use for typing. My only gripe is 
that majority of the headphones which are bluetooth are latency while typing. I 
do not use dictation for I do not want everyone hearing my text messages. I do 
not want to use a bluetooth keyboard for I feel it is quite intrusive and a 
pain to carry while out traveling.  
 

 
Any recommendations I would sincerely appreciate.  
 

 
Thanks in advance.

Apple Watch

[michaelmaslo04]

 
 
 
Hello list,  
 

 
I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have a apple watch version one. I was 
wondering if I an able to connect more than one bluetooth devices? I have it 
obviously connected to the iPhone, but I want to connect it to my bluetooth 
headset also. Does anyone know if this is possible? My follow up question is if 
I connect it to my headset, will it stay paired to my iPhone and the headset at 
the same time? If not is there any reason to pair the watch to another device?  
 

 
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.  
 

 
So much thanks in advance.

Re: Airpod question.

[michaelmaslo04]

 
 
I agree with you it is a matter of preference. I tried them and did not like 
them at all. I could not fast forward rewind and could not do that. The pods 
did not fit securely. I then tried beatsx and did not like them.   
 
 
 

 
I am about to try some Bose sound links.

Hi joe,
  
  
  

  
Interesting comments.
  
I couldn't disagree with you more.
  

  
I look forward to your full post.
  

  
In that post I hope you give your suggestions on how it should react and look.  
 
  

  
My results are highly accurate.
  

  
Have a fabulous day.

Re: Calendar Replacement

[michaelmaslo04]

Hello everyone, when I tried this application I could not move from one month 
to another and when I flick from left to right I got to a lot of areas which 
voice over did not read. I saw a message with the link so I will try again and 
maybe I will have better success. Is there any secrets to make it read?
