Hi Chris, I'm a little bit curious as to why you didn't go for the iPhone 4S instead of the 4, since the 4S is the latest one. I suppose it's either because it was too much, or you just didn't need the extra specs. Anyway, have fun with your iPhone regardless. :) Regards, Nicolai On Oct 29, 20

Hi! I tend to agree with this. I've met very few employees who know about VoiceOver, but those who have have been knowledgeable in that area. I've watched Youtube videos where people deliberately go out of their way to display "accessibility" on iOS, and when VoiceOver is on they refer to the g
