Subject: Does anyone know how to stop Siri / Safari from opening a default app 
in iOS?

Hello Everyone,

I've been fighting a terrible, terrible cold for the last week and, as a
result, have not been able to post some articles to the list.  I am just now
beginning to feel a tiny bit better and so wanted to use what little energy
I have to post a question to which I cannot find the answer:

Scenario:
1.
Ask Siri to perform a web search by saying something like, "Search the web
for 'What is Amazon Music Unlimited, single'."

2.
Siri will respond with something like, "OK, I found this on the web for
'What is Amazon Music Unlimited, single'.  Check it out."

3.
There will now be 3 items on the display.  If you select the first item,
which is usually the answer given by Amazon, instead of opening the answer
in Safari, the Amazon app will open, which has absolutely nothing to do with
your search query.

I find this maddening.  And now, even the Google app is doing the same
thing.  This is to say, instead of opening a web browser, it will launch the
Amazon app.

Does anyone know how to stop this behavior?

All replies greatly appreciated.

Mark

Re: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

[Cris Ali]

Hi Sieghard,
I remember the days when one needed to go to a phone store to have them cut the 
full size sim card to the Nano sim size. My first experience was in 2012 in 
Jordan. When the store tech told me he is going to cut the sim card, I got very 
nervous.somehow I thought that he may screw up things.
But truthfully, my experience with using an e-sim for the last three years is 
very positive. When I setup my 14 pro last night I was nervous that the 
transfer of the e-sim from my old phone to the new one may fail, and thus I 
will have no phone service to call the help and support number. Then I was 
happily surprised by the ease the e-sim transfer went.

Hi Chris,

I remember when the iPhone 5S first came out which had the Nano SIM that I went 
to the Philippines and had a really hard time finding a Nano SIM since most of 
the carriers and devices still used full-size SIM's or Micro SIM's. I ended up 
finding a place where they told me that a Micro SIM can actually be cut to fit 
a Nano SIM tray and that is what they did, but when technologies change there 
is always a period of a couple of years when things might not be quite as one 
would like, certainly keeping your old phone for travel will solve your issue. 
I think, however, that many carriers in many countries will offer e-SIM options 
because honestly it is such a superior system that I wonder why nobody came up 
with it years ago.

Hi folks,
I followed this thread with interest, because I travel overseas frequently 
enough to be concerned about the lack of physical sim tray in iPhone 14 series 
sold in the US. Each time I travel to another country I buy a local sim 
specific to the country I am visiting. Usually it takes less than two minutes 
to replace my american with the local sim and start using a local number. 
Nevertheless, I ordered iPhone 14 Pro and just received it this evening. For 
the last three years I have been using an ESIM on my XR in order to keep my 
physical sim tray free for the time of travel overseas. 
Setting up my new phone was very easy and surprisingly, the automatic transfer 
of my e-sim from my XR to my 14 Pro went very smoothly. For the time being, I 
will keep my XR saved for travel overseas, just in case I found it difficult to 
get e-sims in other countries, and I recommend to any of you who travel 
frequently overseas to keep your old phones for this purpose if you upgrade to 
series 14.

Hi folks,
I followed this thread with interest, because I travel overseas frequently 
enough to be concerned about the lack of physical sim tray in iPhone 14 series 
sold in the US. Each time I travel to another country I buy a local sim 
specific to the country I am visiting. Usually it takes less than two minutes 
to replace my american with the local sim and start using a local number. 
Nevertheless, I ordered iPhone 14 Pro and just received it this evening. For 
the last three years I have been using an ESIM on my XR in order to keep my 
physical sim tray free for the time of travel overseas. 
Setting up my new phone was very easy and surprisingly, the automatic transfer

will keep my XR saved for travel overseas, just in case I found it difficult to

RE: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

[Richard Turner]

y. Today, each of 
these units will have a SIM card, meaning that if a network change is required, 
an engineer will have to visit each meter to swap out the SIM card – 
logistically complex and expensive. eSIM allows a wholesale change of network 
across the entire meter estate, should that be required, at the touch of a 
button.

"In addition to getting customers connected much quicker and easier, there are 
further benefits for the networks too – the logistic costs of SIM cards, 
including warehousing and postage, which far outweigh the cost of the SIM card 
itself – all but disappear. eSIM allows networks to digitally distribute eSIM 
plans to customers no matter where they are.

"Finally, we should not forget the environmental benefits of eSIM – today, more 
than 6 billion SIM cards are produced every year – that’s a great deal of 
plastic and potentially harmful chemicals going to landfill. eSIM will remove 
this completely."

This is exactly what I was thinking. Although I am a fan of switching sim cards 
to play with other phones, I do imagine that someone will come up with a way of 
easily transferring an ESim from one phone to another. Question is would this 
be a user accessible possibility? I have no idea but I imagine some resourceful 
hacker type person will come up with a way.

I would refuse to have an eSIM unless I was given a specific set of 
instructions as to how to transfer the Sim between one found in another. I have 
my old iPhone six which I would want to go to if my present iPhone gives me 
problems. I would not want to be without that physical Sim card for right now. 
Maybe for all times going forward.

I think, maybe the catch to Face ID is holding the phone at least ten inches

Speaking of the home button, it isn't getting used to no home button that is a 
problem for me.  I'm getting used to face ID and that is still somewhat of an 
issue for me.  Not having a home button, is no big deal.  I just wish I could 
still have touch ID instead of face ID.

Speaking of the home button, it isn't getting used to no home button
that is a problem for me.  I'm getting used to face ID and that is
still somewhat of an issue for me.  Not having a home button, is no
big deal.  I just wish I could still have touch ID instead of face ID.

And if all you have to do is transfer your e-SIM from your old iPhone to your

peasy.
I understand why people who make a living reviewing products have multiple

Re: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

[Cara Quinn]

Sieghard and all,

To be fair, I think this thread is actually relevant in that there have been 
other discussions here about accessibility / bugs between iOS versions where 
someone might actually feel like they want to move a sim to another phone 
running a different OS for accessibility reasons. So I personally am finding 
this topic super useful and informative.

Even for the accessibility of the physical process of switching sim cards that 
some folks may not have done before; that kind of discussion would also be 
appropriate here.

For myself, in using different phones for writing / testing software, I'll 
occasionally switch sim cards but as has been said, that sort of situation is 
not for everyone.

Anyway, regardless, the whole topic of esim vs sim can be valuable here, I 
think.

Just my thoughts, and thanks for such a great discussion.

Cheers!

Cara

Re: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

[Kelly Pierce]

Apple makes six variants of each version of the iPhone 14 lineup.  The
different variants have unique cell phone frequencies for the region
of the phone.  For example, American cell phone carriers use
frequencies used in no other part of the world.  Outside the big metro
areas, carriers support fewer frequencies and in some rural areas only
one or two.  While most people won’t notice much of a difference on a
two-week vacation, it could be the case where everyone around you has
signal but you in a given place because you have many fewer
frequencies to use on your device.  Already on my carrier, staff
becomes upset when people swap SIM cards with different phones. That’s
because network services are attached to the unique serial number on
the phone. For example, 5G network services and frequencies are made
available to devices registered to have 5G technology.  eSIM is the
future except in totalitarian regimes like the People’s republic of
China, where freedoms are limited.

Here’s an article with more details:

Maybe those who really want a physical sim card should check out the new iPad 
that was announced on Thursday.  10.9 inch with a physical SIM on those 
units... much cheaper than an iPhone 14 pro max...

Then you should not support Apple by buying a phone which does not meet your

Well said, Julian.

In addition, if I pay the same money for a product as those outside the US, 
then I expect the same feature set.  It really is that simple.  To me, selling 
a phone model that does not offer the same features but that costs the same 
price as the enhanced model, is insulting.

My guess is that eventually, SIM cards will be like analog - outdated. I am 
sorry for those who feel that SIM cards are important, but as I keep telling my 
husband, life goes on whether or not we do.

Then you should not support Apple by buying a phone which does not meet your 
requirements. Maybe if enough people do this Apple will put a SIM tray into the 
iPhone 15 again although I personally probably wouldn't hold my breath. It 
would seem that e-SIM is where ?Apple thinks the world is going or maybe where 
they should go so they are giving it a helping hand.

Well said, Julian.

In addition, if I pay the same money for a product as those outside the US, 
then I expect the same feature set.  It really is that simple.  To me, selling 
a phone model that does not offer the same features but that costs the same 
price as the enhanced model, is insulting.

Just my opinion, of course.

For what it's worth, some of us simply just enjoy the freedom of switching our 
Sim card between phones without having to interact with our carrier. Remember

I have had the same sim card now since my iPhone 5S. Each time I get a new one 
I just pop the card out and put it in the new one. Easy peasy.

The sad reality is, every time Apple shows "courage " look out, it means that 
somethings about to get taken away. Just like every time something is done in 
the name of "safety" it usually means some right or liberty is about to get 
taken away, that's as far as I'll go into that on this list though. Good luck 
in being able to get the phone that you want with a Sim tray. For my part, I'm 
going to hold onto my SE3 which is working quite nicely and suiting my needs.

It maybe perfectly reasonable as far as it goes, but apart from Mark being the 
list moderator the question also has little or nothing to do with the purpose 
of this list which is about the iPhone's accessibility features and physical 
SIM or e-SIM do not factor into accessibility.

I think Mark’s question is perfectly reasonable and has become confused with 
other issues.

Here in the UK my understanding is that iPhone models come with a removable SIM 
tray.  When I discussed ESIM with my provider EE the person I spoke to was far 
from advising me that an ESIM was the way to go.

RE: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

It will continue to work nicely until you need a new phone in 2, 3, 4 or 5 
years or however long you decide you want to keep your iPhone SE third Gen and 
at that point you will get a phone without SIM tray just as you do now when you 
buy an iPhone 14 Pro.
I predict that in short order many other flagship phones from Samsung, Google 
and so on will be released without a SIM tray just as Samsung did away with the 
3.5mm headphone jack after Apple did (at least on most models). I don't keep up 
with Samsung too much, but I doubt they brought it back.
Anyways, to me it makes total sense that over the next few years the world will 
switch to e-SIM. And here are another couple of Billion less little plastic 
pieces ending up in landfills, oceans and the environment. You have to keep in 
mind that in countries like the Philippines and many other Asian and African 
countries people use cell phones with minimal service and often just a small 
prepaid load which allows them to send text message and what is more to receive 
messages and phone calls. A SIM in the Philippines costs less than a Dollar and 
people switch them like we do our underwear and in many cases they go in the 
trash after a relatively short time when the person decides their next prepaid 
plan should be with a different provider. If everybody did e-SIM that could 
still be just as easy without all the SIM cards ending up in the garbage and 
requiring all sorts of resources during the manufacturing process.

The sad reality is, every time Apple shows "courage " look out, it means that 
somethings about to get taken away. Just like every time something is done in 
the name of "safety" it usually means some right or liberty is about to get 
taken away, that's as far as I'll go into that on this list though. Good luck 
in being able to get the phone that you want with a Sim tray. For my part, I'm 
going to hold onto my SE3 which is working quite nicely and suiting my needs.

What would happen is that your iPhone 8 would have cell service and  your 
iPhone 13 Pro Max would not and that is the short and the long answer.

As it stands even if Mark decides to buy the phone from somewhere else
it should work just fine here in the states. I mean people buy the
phones here all the time and send them to other places. Yes if you
take your sim from your 13 and put it back in your 8 it will just
work.

I think Mark’s question is perfectly reasonable and has become confused with 
other issues.

Here in the UK my understanding is that iPhone models come with a removable SIM 
tray.  When I discussed ESIM with my provider EE the person I spoke to was far 
from advising me that an ESIM was the way to go.

I'd expect it to just work. I get the situation where people want to be able to 
use multiple phones by just switching out the SIM card, but that's not 
something I'm interested in doing. When I got my iPhone 11, the person at the 
AT store basically just handed me my phone and I could walk out of the store 
with it. I asked if there was something we needed to do, like swap the SIM 
card, and he said no, it was all good. It was the easiest it's ever been for me 
to get a new phone, and it was the least amount of time I've ever spent in a 
carrier's store.

RE: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

[Christopher Chaltain]

For my part, I don't expect the same feature set in all parts of the world for 
the same device, and I wouldn't find this insulting. Just as people have the 
right to choose which product they want to buy, companies have the right to 
choose what product they want to sell, and this includes offering slightly 
different feature sets in different parts of the world. Citizens of different 
countries may expect different things or be willing to pay more or less for the 
same feature. Countries have differing laws and different cultures will have 
different expectations. Bottom line is that companies are going to try to 
maximize their profit, and if this means tweaking the feature set from country 
to country then that's what they're going to do.

Haven't there been times when Apple has released a device worldwide but some 
services were only available in the US to start out with? What about things 
like differing power standards, laws requiring USB support, different frequency 
spectrums and so on.

All just my opinion, but Apple isn't going to change their ways just because I 
want them to. Unless I'm willing to send Apple a message from my wallet, I'll 
just keep looking at my product options and buying something from what's 
currently available and not what I want to be available.

I'm perfectly happy with an ESIM, and in fact I prefer it due to it's ease of 
use for what I want to do with a smart phone. I respect those who want a 
physical SIM though, and I'd never push back against them or expect them to use 
an ESIM just because it works for me.

Well said, Julian.

In addition, if I pay the same money for a product as those outside the US, 
then I expect the same feature set.  It really is that simple.  To me, selling 
a phone model that does not offer the same features but that costs the same 
price as the enhanced model, is insulting.

Just my opinion, of course.

For what it's worth, some of us simply just enjoy the freedom of switching our 
Sim card between phones without having to interact with our carrier. Remember 
the good ole days of CDMA? Were you had to interact with the carrier and give 
them your electronic serial number every time you wanted to switch phones? I 
realize that eSIM is nowhere near as draconian, but still, some of us just 
enjoy that freedom and enjoy that method and it should not be taken away from 
us. Therefore, I fully understand why Mark wants to go through the trouble of 
finding an iPhone 14 that still allows him the flexibility. Not that I'm 
necessarily in the market for an iPhone 14, but, I will be watching this 
discussion with interest. I'm certain that some of my clients will asked 
similar questions so I would like to have good info to give them.

When I got my 13 pro max, I put in my sim card from my iPhone 8 for the first 
time.  It was surprisingly easy.  I wonder what would happen if I took the sim 
card from my 13 pro max and put it back into my iPhone 8.

RE: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

[M. Taylor]

Peter, with all do respect, this is not the same as the removal of the 
headphone jack.

In that instance, the jack was removed from all new models of the phone, 
regardless of from where they were purchased.

I did not start this thread to engage in a debate.

Each person is free to purchase his /her preferred device.

In my case, I will do my best to obtain the model that allows me the greatest 
wireless carrier flexibility.

So, let's keep this thread on point; said point being how, if possible, to 
purchase iPhone 14 with a physical SIM tray from within the United States.

Thank you,

Mark

Well said, Julian.

In addition, if I pay the same money for a product as those outside the US, 
then I expect the same feature set.  It really is that simple.  To me, selling 
a phone model that does not offer the same features but that costs the same 
price as the enhanced model, is insulting.

Just my opinion, of course.

For what it's worth, some of us simply just enjoy the freedom of switching our 
Sim card between phones without having to interact with our carrier. Remember 
the good ole days of CDMA? Were you had to interact with the carrier and give 
them your electronic serial number every time you wanted to switch phones? I 
realize that eSIM is nowhere near as draconian, but still, some of us just 
enjoy that freedom and enjoy that method and it should not be taken away from 
us. Therefore, I fully understand why Mark wants to go through the trouble of 
finding an iPhone 14 that still allows him the flexibility. Not that I'm 
necessarily in the market for an iPhone 14, but, I will be watching this 
discussion with interest. I'm certain that some of my clients will asked 
similar questions so I would like to have good info to give them.

[regina alvarado]

It’s an interesting question. I keep getting the message on my 13 promax that I 
don’t have a Sim card, and I Have to say okay each time. Is there a way to get 
this off my phone or am I supposed to have a SIM card? By the way, what is a 
SIM card? My education is lacking. I’m not sure I’ve ever had one. I always 
have my phones Put together by a person at the store for whatever company I’ve 
been with, and never have they ask me for my Sim card. Anyway, just a little 
confused. Thanks for any help you can give me, and sorry that I’m asking a 
stupid question.

RE: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

[Richard Turner]

Apparently the iPHone isn't expensive enough already so he wants to add the 
cost of going to Canada for the sake of a physical sim tray, which of course is 
his choice.

Perhaps simply calling Apple and asking what happens if you do not specify a 
carrier when ordering instead of mucking around waiting for answers on 
lists?

Only Apple can answer this question.

Subject: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a 
Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

Hello Everyone, 

And so it begins.

I was in one of my local Apple stores, yesterday taking a look at iPhone 14 Pro 
Max.  

It is my hope to purchase an iPhone 14 model with a physical SIM tray.

While discussing this with a store manager, I was somewhat surprised to learn 
that, according to him, the store has been inundated  by customers who only 
want to buy iPhone 14 with a physical SIM tray.  He told me that they are 
working on crafting an in-store response to the enquiries designed to 
discouraged customers from seeking a physical SIM tray.  He followed that up by 
saying, "I know you, Mark, and no response is going to keep you from getting 
that SIM tray model, if that is what you want."  (smile)  He is a very smart 
man (smile).

So, the search begins.

Does anyone know away to purchase an iPhone 14 Pro Max with a physical SIM 
tray, from within the United States?

Some people are saying that if you buy a model from the Apple online store, 
without designating a wireless provider, that Apple will ship you a model with 
a physical SIM tray.  However, I cannot locate anyone to confirm this.

Make no mistake, I'm not above taking a short trek up to Canada to pick up a 
model but if I can avoid it, I would prefer to do so.

I have a friend who is heading to Japan in a couple of weeks and, of course, I 
could have the friend pick up a model, in Japan, but that makes me somewhat 
uncomfortable; I don't know why.  I think I'd rather go to Canada, in person, 
to grab a model.

All replies greatly appreciated. 

Mark

RE: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

[rick.alfaro]

I also would be annoyed by not being able to use a sim tray. What if you have 
another phone that you want to switch to like possibly an Android model? This 
used to be easy because all you have to do is simply switch the sim card from 
one phone to the other. Now, as far as I know, you can't do that any longer 
without jumping through a bunch of hoops. Hopefully, there will be a way of 
achieving the same result easily.

Re: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

[Julian]

For what it's worth, some of us simply just enjoy the freedom of switching our 
Sim card between phones without having to interact with our carrier. Remember 
the good ole days of CDMA? Were you had to interact with the carrier and give 
them your electronic serial number every time you wanted to switch phones? I 
realize that eSIM is nowhere near as draconian, but still, some of us just 
enjoy that freedom and enjoy that method and it should not be taken away from 
us. Therefore, I fully understand why Mark wants to go through the trouble of 
finding an iPhone 14 that still allows him the flexibility. Not that I'm 
necessarily in the market for an iPhone 14, but, I will be watching this 
discussion with interest. I'm certain that some of my clients will asked 
similar questions so I would like to have good info to give them.

Subject: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a 
Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

Hello Everyone, 

And so it begins.

I was in one of my local Apple stores, yesterday taking a look at iPhone 14 Pro 
Max.  

It is my hope to purchase an iPhone 14 model with a physical SIM tray.

While discussing this with a store manager, I was somewhat surprised to learn 
that, according to him, the store has been inundated  by customers who only 
want to buy iPhone 14 with a physical SIM tray.  He told me that they are 
working on crafting an in-store response to the enquiries designed to 
discouraged customers from seeking a physical SIM tray.  He followed that up by 
saying, "I know you, Mark, and no response is going to keep you from getting 
that SIM tray model, if that is what you want."  (smile)  He is a very smart 
man (smile).

So, the search begins.

Does anyone know away to purchase an iPhone 14 Pro Max with a physical SIM 
tray, from within the United States?

Some people are saying that if you buy a model from the Apple online store, 
without designating a wireless provider, that Apple will ship you a model with 
a physical SIM tray.  However, I cannot locate anyone to confirm this.

Make no mistake, I'm not above taking a short trek up to Canada to pick up a 
model but if I can avoid it, I would prefer to do so.

I have a friend who is heading to Japan in a couple of weeks and, of course, I 
could have the friend pick up a model, in Japan, but that makes me somewhat 
uncomfortable; I don't know why.  I think I'd rather go to Canada, in person, 
to grab a model.

All replies greatly appreciated. 

Mark

[Joshua Hendrickson]

Mark, I'm just curious, what's wrong with going the E-sim route?  I
didn't have any trouble changing the physical sim-card from my iPhone
8 to my 13 pro max.  However, if apple is going the e-sim route, then
personally I'd go with that option.  However, again, I hope you can
find what you are looking for.

[lenron brown]

order it outside of the US that is the only way. Honestly if you can
find a deal on the 13 pro max take it.

Re: And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

[CHELA Robles]

To my knowledge, I don’t think there’s a way to get a physical Sim because if I 
remember correctly, they stated that it was gonna be electronic so I could be 
very wrong though. I could be very wrong, but I don’t think the model you’re 
looking at has a physical Sim tray, but I could be very wrong in this as well. 
That’s just what I’ve gathered from the Keynote that I heard or the Apple 
event. Whatever you wanna call it.

And So It Begins: Does Anyone Know How to Buy iPhone 14Pro Max with a Physical SIM Tray from within the United States?

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone, 

And so it begins.

I was in one of my local Apple stores, yesterday taking a look at iPhone 14
Pro Max.  

It is my hope to purchase an iPhone 14 model with a physical SIM tray.

While discussing this with a store manager, I was somewhat surprised to
learn that, according to him, the store has been inundated  by customers who
only want to buy iPhone 14 with a physical SIM tray.  He told me that they
are working on crafting an in-store response to the enquiries designed to
discouraged customers from seeking a physical SIM tray.  He followed that up
by saying, "I know you, Mark, and no response is going to keep you from
getting that SIM tray model, if that is what you want."  (smile)  He is a
very smart man (smile).

So, the search begins.

Does anyone know away to purchase an iPhone 14 Pro Max with a physical SIM
tray, from within the United States?

Some people are saying that if you buy a model from the Apple online store,
without designating a wireless provider, that Apple will ship you a model
with a physical SIM tray.  However, I cannot locate anyone to confirm this.

Make no mistake, I'm not above taking a short trek up to Canada to pick up a
model but if I can avoid it, I would prefer to do so.

I have a friend who is heading to Japan in a couple of weeks and, of course,
I could have the friend pick up a model, in Japan, but that makes me
somewhat uncomfortable; I don't know why.  I think I'd rather go to Canada,
in person, to grab a model.

RE: Does anyone know how to create an event on Facebook using your personal profile on IPad/IPhone??

['Simon Wong' via VIPhone]

Well Eleanor, I would assume it’s the same on the phone as it is on the 
computer. I don't know about the app or if you would do this in safari but you 
would flick to where it says events if you are logged into your account, there 
should be a add event and you would just have to fill in your event info and

Subject: Does anyone know how to create an event on Facebook using your 
personal profile on IPad/IPhone??

Hi all 

Just wondering if anyone could help with this please. I’ve got an event coming 
up and would like to create it on Facebook. I don’t have a Facebook page of any 
sort, just my own personal profile. So just wondered if anyone could send me 
some instructions on how to create a Facebook event using my personal profile 
please?? I’d be creating it using my IPad or IPhone, not computer. 

Many thanks for any help anyone can give.

Re: Does Anyone Know How to Delete a Tune-In Favorite?

[Evan Reese]

Hi Chris,
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this.
I tried signing in to my Tune-in account, but apparently, even though I 
downloaded the app, I don’t have a Tune-in account.
I thought that I could sign in using my email address and my Apple password, 
which is how I generally download apps. That didn’t work, so I hit the Forgot 
Password button and entered my email address and Tune-in doesn’t recognize it. 
So I didn’t have a Tune-in account, even though I have the app.
So I decided to create an account. But when I created an account, I had no 
Favorites. So there’s no way to delete a Favorite from that account because I 
hadn’t entered any Favorites via the Tune-in account, only via the app on my 
iPad Mini.
As I said, they apparently didn’t think of providing a way of deleting a 
station that no longer streams. It seems that it has to play first before you 
have the option of deleting it via the app.
So I guess I’m stuck with it unless I uninstall the app and then reinstall it. 
But then I would lose all my other Favorites.
Thanks anyway for trying to help.
Evan

Subject: Re: Does Anyone Know How to Delete a Tune-In Favorite?

Hello Evan,

I just logged in on my computer using the Google Chrome browser and found how 
to remove a favorite.

When you first go to the site, you will have to arrow down the page to find 
where it says sign in.  It is not a link or button, but if you just hit enter 
on it, it will bring up the sign in page where you can sign in.
Also, at the top of the page, right before it says search, you will find a 
slash link.  This is a navigation menu link, and if you hit enter on it, it 
will bring up a list of navigation links at the top of the page.

Once you get to your favorites page.  after each favorite, you will find a 
button that says zero.  If you hit enter on this button, you will get some 
choices that pop up, one of these choices is remove.  Just hit enter on remove, 
and this should remove the station from your favorites.

Hope this has been helpful.  Let me know if you have questions.

Chris

Hi Chris,
Unfortunately, that method doesn’t work because the station went off the 
air. So when I double tap it, I get an error message saying:
Error
We’re sorry. An error occurred with this stream. Please try again later.
Then an OK button below that.
That’s all that’s on the screen. All I can do is hit the OK button and go 
back to my list of Favorites. I wonder if they neglected to think of a way to 
delete a Favorite that no longer works. Seems unlikely  but it’s possible I 
suppose.
Thanks for trying though.
Any other ideas?

Hello Evan,

If you are wanting to delete or remove it from your favorites, just double 
tap on the station, then on the play screen, you will find a favorites button 
that is currently selected.  Just double tap the favorites button to unselect 
it and remove it from your favorites.

Hope this helps.

to remove a favorite.

When you first go to the site, you will have to arrow down the page to find 
where it says sign in.  It is not a link or button, but if you just hit enter 
on it, it will bring up the sign in page where you can sign in.
Also, at the top of the page, right before it says search, you will find a 
slash link.  This is a navigation menu link, and if you hit enter on it, it 
will bring up a list of navigation links at the top of the page.

Once you get to your favorites page.  after each favorite, you will find a 
button that says zero.  If you hit enter on this button, you will get some 
choices that pop up, one of these choices is remove.  Just hit enter on remove, 
and this should remove the station from your favorites.

Hope this has been helpful.  Let me know if you have questions.

Chris

Hi Chris,
I never thought of that. I have never logged into that site, just used the 
Tune-In app on my iPad Mini.
I’ll try it out and see what happens and let you know.

Re: Does Anyone Know How to Delete a Tune-In Favorite?

Hi Chris,
Unfortunately, that method doesn’t work because the station went off the air. 
So when I double tap it, I get an error message saying:
Error
We’re sorry. An error occurred with this stream. Please try again later.
Then an OK button below that.
That’s all that’s on the screen. All I can do is hit the OK button and go back 
to my list of Favorites. I wonder if they neglected to think of a way to delete 
a Favorite that no longer works. Seems unlikely  but it’s possible I suppose.
Thanks for trying though.

Hey Guys,

it. It seems like there should be an easy way, but I’m just missing it.

Re: does anyone know how?

[Angie Nutt]

I got fed up of the screen activating if say I’m reading a book and I put it in 
a pocket. I felt sure I could stop this and sure enough, in Accessibility 
there’s something called tap to wake. I switched that off. Hopefully this will 
stop things activating by accident. Worked for me

All the best

No, unfortunately the control center settings do not control the icons on the 
locked screen.

in iOS 11 this could be disabled. In iOS 12 it seems not.

I don't understand Sieghard's claim that it isn't part of his lockscreen

Hello folks,
Does anyone know how to remove the flash light and the camera buttons from the 
locked phone screen?  As you know, when the phone is locked, the flash light 
and the camera buttons are still accessible.  I do not want them to be there.  
Very often, as I put the phone in my pocket, my finger touches one of them by 
mistake and activates it. That drains my phone battery out.  The other day 
while I was in the train in the underground, Someone alerted me that my phone 
flash light is on because he can see strong light coming out of my pocket.  It 
was funny in a way, but also annoying.
I looked through all the phone’s settings to see if I can remove these buttons 
but I was not able to locate the setting to hide these buttons from the locked 
screen.

If anyone knows how, I will extremely appreciate it.

Regards,



Cris

Hi Cris, 

Thank you for this, but I already have raise to wake turned off.  I also have 
tap to wake turned off, but still the flash light can still come on if I 
accidentally put my phone in my purse the wrong way, and a few hours later if I 
take my phone out of my purse, it is extremely warm, and that is how I know the 
flash light has been on since I put the phone in my purse.  

This is so annoying!  I still just don’t get what is the whole point to having 
the flash light on a locked screen!  Guess I’ll never know as it makes no sense 
to me, now, if I wanted it on my locked screen, I would add it to the locked 
screen.

Hi Janet,

I guess for the time being, and until apple decide to listen to customer’s 
wishes, the only advice is to change two settings on your iPhone.  First you go 
to settings, and go to display and brightness and turn raise to wake off.  The 
second is to go to settings, general accessibility and turn tap to wake off.  
This way, once you lock your phone, you won’t be inadvertently activating the 
camera or turning the flash light on as you put the phone in your purse or take 
it out.

Hi Keith, 

Thank you for this, as I searched and searched, but I couldn’t find anything 
related to the annoying flash light or the camera.  

Again thank you as now I can stop beating myself over the head trying to find 
or figure out how to get rid of this!  I still don’t understand the whole 
purpose of having the flash light or the camera on the locked screen though,

Hi Cris,
Thank you for this, but I already have raise to wake turned off.  I also have 
tap to wake turned off, but still the flash light can still come on if I 
accidentally put my phone in my purse the wrong way, and a few hours later if I 
take my phone out of my purse, it is extremely warm, and that is how I know the 
flash light has been on since I put the phone in my purse.
This is so annoying!  I still just don’t get what is the whole point to having 
the flash light on a locked screen!  Guess I’ll never know as it makes no sense 
to me, now, if I wanted it on my locked screen, I would add it to the locked 
screen.

Hi Janet,
I guess for the time being, and until apple decide to listen to customer’s 
wishes, the only advice is to change two settings on your iPhone.  First you go 
to settings, and go to display and brightness and turn raise to wake off.  The 
second is to go to settings, general accessibility and turn tap to wake off.  
This way, once you lock your phone, you won’t be inadvertently activating the 
camera or turning the flash light on as you put the phone in your purse or take 
it out.

Hi Chris,

I am a bit confused here, I don’t have either Flashlight nor Camera on the lock

swipe from right to left, but even then there is no Flashlight unless maybe you 
have the camera’s flash turned on permanently which of course you can change, 
you can set it to come on automatically or not at all.
The actual Flashlight as far as I know can only be turned on either by asking 
SIRI or by swiping up to the Control Centre and then you do of course have both 
the camera and flashlight buttons there. Do you maybe mean the Control Centre 
instead of the lock screen?
As far as the Control Centre is concerned you can in fact decide what is on it 
or not, just go to Settings > Control Centre > Customize Controls and select or 
deselect the items you want or do not want. You can definitely take the 
f;lashlight and camera off if they are on the Control Centre.

I run iOS 12.3, I usually run whatever is the latest Beta, in the case of 12.3 
I received the official release yesterday as well since apparently it changed 
from the last public beta release. I do, however, not have an iPhone XR or XS, 
but an iPhone 8. Maybe it is not on the older phones, where exactly on the lock 
screen is this supposed to be? If I press the side button to wake up my phone I 
have the following:

The time is announced and currently if I swipe left I can’t go any further than 
9:41 AM
If I swipe right I hear Wednesday, May 15, 2019
If I swipe right again I get “Press Home to Unlock button
Then another swipe right gets me Page 2 of 3
That is the last element on the screen.
If I go to Page 3 of 3 it is my Camera screen and Page 1 of 3 is the Today 
screen.
If I tap on “Press Home to Unlock” I get the “Touch Id or enter passcode”, 
there is the passcode field where it says 0 of 6 values entered, the keypad is 
on the screen and the only other button I see is the Emergency button on the 
bottom left of the keypad.
My wife who is sighted and who also has an iPhone 8 just confirmed the same, 
the only Flashlight button she has is in the Control Centre.
I guess if there is a flashlight button on the lock screen on the XR then it’s 
an XR feature and since there was no iOS 11 any more when the XR came out the 
iOS version shouldn’t matter unless the original iPhone X which was released in 
the fall of 2017 together with iOS 11 had the flashlight button and it could be 
disabled.

while I was in the train in the underground, Someone alerted me that my phone 
flash light is on because he can see strong light coming out of my pocket.  It 
was funny in a way, but also annoying.
I looked through all the phone’s settings to see if I can remove these buttons 
but I was not able to locate the setting to hide these buttons from the locked 
screen.

If anyone knows how, I will extremely appreciate it.

Cris

RE: does anyone know how?

[janet gross]

HI Cris,
I completely understand what you are saying about the annoying flash light and 
the camera.  I have the exact samething on my XR phone 12.2, and lock screen, 
and when I put my phone in my purse, sometimes the flash light comes on, and I 
lose quite a bit of my battery, but I don’t know this until I take my phone out 
of my purse, and the phone is extremely warm.  When the flash light is on, my 
phone is all lit up, and as a blind person, I only know this when a sighted 
person is around, and they tell me Janet you must have the flash light on 
because your phone is lit up like a Christmas Tree, and then I realize that is 
why my phone is so warm!  I then check my battery, and sure enough, I’ve lost 
quite a bit of battery!  I don’t need the camera on the lock screen either 
because when I go to my home screen, there is the camera as well.  This drives 
me crazy, and I’ve asked other people how to remove the flash light, but I 
never get an answer.  I didn’t have this when I used my iPhone 6 either!
I’ve looked all through my phone, but I can’t find anything about the flash 
light or how to remove it from the locked screen.  This causes to much battery 
loss!  I’m constantly checking my phone when the phone is in my purse to be for 
sure it doesn’t feel warm because the flash light might be on again, because I 
don’t want to have to try to make a call, but the battery is drained!
Janet

Hi Sieghard,
I am not talking about the control center, I am talking about the locked 
screen.  Unfortunately I have both the flash light button and the camera button 
on my iPhone XR using iOS 12.3.  I wish I could at least remove the flash light 
button.  It happened quite few times that I turned the flash light on as I put 
the phone in my pocket.  Sometimes just a simple light touch turn it on.  I 
would only realize that the flash light is on when I feel my pocket heating up 
or if someone tells me to turn the flash light off.

Cheers,

Cris

Hi Chris,

I am a bit confused here, I don’t have either Flashlight nor Camera on the lock 
screen. The Camera can be accessed from the lock screen if you do a 3-finger 
swipe from right to left, but even then there is no Flashlight unless maybe you 
have the camera’s flash turned on permanently which of course you can change, 
you can set it to come on automatically or not at all.
The actual Flashlight as far as I know can only be turned on either by asking 
SIRI or by swiping up to the Control Centre and then you do of course have both 
the camera and flashlight buttons there. Do you maybe mean the Control Centre 
instead of the lock screen?
As far as the Control Centre is concerned you can in fact decide what is on it 
or not, just go to Settings > Control Centre > Customize Controls and select or 
deselect the items you want or do not want. You can definitely take the 
f;lashlight and camera off if they are on the Control Centre.

I run iOS 12.3, I usually run whatever is the latest Beta, in the case of 12.3 
I received the official release yesterday as well since apparently it changed 
from the last public beta release. I do, however, not have an iPhone XR or XS, 
but an iPhone 8. Maybe it is not on the older phones, where exactly on the lock 
screen is this supposed to be? If I press the side button to wake up my phone I 
have the following:

 

The time is announced and currently if I swipe left I can’t go any further than 
9:41 AM

If I swipe right I hear Wednesday, May 15, 2019

If I swipe right again I get “Press Home to Unlock button

Then another swipe right gets me Page 2 of 3

That is the last element on the screen.

If I go to Page 3 of 3 it is my Camera screen and Page 1 of 3 is the Today 
screen.

If I tap on “Press Home to Unlock” I get the “Touch Id or enter passcode”, 
there is the passcode field where it says 0 of 6 values entered, the keypad is 
on the screen and the only other button I see is the Emergency button on the 
bottom left of the keypad.

My wife who is sighted and who also has an iPhone 8 just confirmed the same, 
the only Flashlight button she has is in the Control Centre.

I guess if there is a flashlight button on the lock screen on the XR then it’s 
an XR feature and since there was no iOS 11 any more when the XR came out the 
iOS version shouldn’t matter unless the original iPhone X which was released in 
the fall of 2017 together with iOS 11 had the flashlight button and it could be 
disabled.

RE: does anyone know how?

[Cris Ali]

Thanks for the link Keith.  I never thought of checking this site.  It is 
disappointing that we cannot remove these icons. Apple sometimes does stupid 
things.  They think they know better than their customers.  This apple’s 
arrogance will one day haunt them.

Cris

I don't understand Sieghard's claim that it isn't part of his lockscreen 
(unless he's running iOS 11 and disabled 3d touch). it certainly is on all my 
families phones.

have the camera’s flash turned on permanently which of course you can change, 
you can set it to come on automatically or not at all.
The actual Flashlight as far as I know can only be turned on either by asking 
SIRI or by swiping up to the Control Centre and then you do of course have both 
the camera and flashlight buttons there. Do you maybe mean the Control Centre 
instead of the lock screen?
As far as the Control Centre is concerned you can in fact decide what is on it 
or not, just go to Settings > Control Centre > Customize Controls and select or 
deselect the items you want or do not want. You can definitely take the 
f;lashlight and camera off if they are on the Control Centre.

Hello folks,
Does anyone know how to remove the flash light and the camera buttons from the 
locked phone screen?  As you know, when the phone is locked, the flash light 
and the camera buttons are still accessible.  I do not want them to be there.  
Very often, as I put the phone in my pocket, my finger touches one of them by 
mistake and activates it. That drains my phone battery out.  The other day 
while I was in the train in the underground, Someone alerted me that my phone 
flash light is on because he can see strong light coming out of my pocket.  It 
was funny in a way, but also annoying.
I looked through all the phone’s settings to see if I can remove these buttons 
but I was not able to locate the setting to hide these buttons from the locked 
screen.

If anyone knows how, I will extremely appreciate it.

Regards,

RE: does anyone know how?

[Cris Ali]

Hi Sieghard,
I am not talking about the control center, I am talking about the locked 
screen.  Unfortunately I have both the flash light button and the camera button 
on my iPhone XR using iOS 12.3.  I wish I could at least remove the flash light 
button.  It happened quite few times that I turned the flash light on as I put 
the phone in my pocket.  Sometimes just a simple light touch turn it on.  I 
would only realize that the flash light is on when I feel my pocket heating up 
or if someone tells me to turn the flash light off.

Cheers,

Cris

Hi Keith.  In the YouTube app, when you bring up a vidio, there is a button

More Actions button is Playback Speed.  HTH.

YouTube half speed setting. Does anyone know how to activate this?

['Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.' via VIPhone]

Hi,

I understand there is a toggle within YouTube to play video at half speed. This 
can be useful when trying to learn a tune by ear. I can't seem to find the way 
to activate this, either via Safari or the YouTube app.

Does anyone know how this can be toggled on and off?

Thanks in advance. Keith

RE: Does anyone know how to post videos onto Twitter from an IPad using VO??

[M. Taylor]

Hello Eleanor,

I do not have an iPad.  

However, generally speaking, the official Twitter app works the csame on iPad 
as it does on iPhone.  

>From within the Twitter app, create a new tweet.  This will open a dialog box 
>near the lower left corner of which is an add photos button.  

Now, the only real thing to remember is that the labels in this section do not 
include the word button.  So, for example, you will hear, "videos" but not, 
"videos button."  Regardless, single-finger double tap on the labels to bring 
up the desired add box.

this one. I've got some videos on my IPad which a friend sent me. I'd very much 
like to put them on Twitter, but can't work out how to do so using VO. Facebook 
is no problem at all, as I just select the videos I want, click the share 
button, and Facebook is there on the list. Easy. However, Twitter doesn't 
appear at all, so I'm a bit stumped as to how to post my videos/achieve the 
same result. There must be a way, as I've seen plenty of videos on there. So if 
anyone's got any ideas at all how I can post my videos to Twitter using VO it'd 
be much appreciated??. 

Many thanks for any help anyone can give.

Go to the twitter site, click settings and apps and allow facebook to connect.

I just did it but I think I did it wrong as I do not see the tweet I just 
tweeted on my facebook page.

Hi all 

Apologies for cross-posting, but I'm hoping someone might know the answer to 
this/be able to help me. I have a Twitter and a Facebook account, and I'd like 
to be able to link the 2 so that I can simultaneously post to both. I'm using

TweetCaster, but when I downloaded it I found it terribly inaccessible with

confuse myself with all the different methods that came up. So I was wondering 
if anyone knew/could tell me of the best way/how I can go about linking my 2 
accounts? Do I need to do it through websites?, or is there a more accessible 
app that will allow me to do so? 

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Re: Does anyone know how I can link my Twitter and Facebook accounts so I can simultaneously post to both?

[Robert Doc Wright]

profile.

2. Go to your Settings menu's
Apps tab.
3. Click Connect to Facebook.
4. If you are not already logged in to Facebook, then you will be prompted 
to enter your Facebook login credentials. Enter your credentials and click 
Log

in to sign in to Facebook.
5. You will then receive a prompt explaining that Twitter will receive 
certain information from your Facebook account. In order to continue, you 
must select

“Okay.”
6. You will then be prompted to select the privacy settings for who will see 
your Tweets and Retweets posted to your Facebook wall. It is set to friends

by default.
7. Click “Okay” to complete the process.
8. Your Tweets and Retweets will now post to your profile Facebook wall and 
your username will be displayed there as well. Replies will not be posted.

list end
Note: To link your Facebook updates to Twitter, use this application on 
Facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/twitter.

list of 4 items

Hi all

Thanks so much for all this useful information. How do I go about linking 
them through twitter.com?? I've tried going into settings and apps, but 
nowhere is voiceover saying anything about connecting to Facebook. So if 
someone could send me some totally idiot-proof instructions on how to do 
this with voiceover I'd be so grateful. I've managed to do it the other way 
round (Facebook to Twitter), and that was very very easy. However, Twitter 
to Facebook doesn't appear to be as straightforward.


Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.
