Has anyone gone from an iPhone 8 or 8+ to the new SE? I have th 8+ on which Touch ID no longer functions. I like the size of the plus model but may have to downsize as the other newer models are much more expensive. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that we ha

I’m a little surprised that your Touch ID no longer works reliably. I too have an 8+ and haven’t had any problems with it Have you got a cover on your phone that maybe obscuring the finger print sensor? Have you tried resetting your finger prints? > On 12/06/2020, at 13:33, 'E.T.' via MacVisi

My phone has a cover yes but it does not cover any part of the home button. I may try to get someone to tak me to an Apple store before I do anything else. I do like the 8+. I also may again work with this and try different strategies. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Ma

Have you been cleaning your phone with anything in particular lately, especially since this whole virus thing? As I think some alcohol based cleaning products can be quite damaging to the phone. Sent from Petrus's iPhone On 12/06/2020, at 15:17, 'E.T.' via MacVisionaries wrote:  My phone

Simon, it's really a downgrade. It's a budget model compared to the 8/8+. On that basis, was it a positive change for you? From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that we have been visited in the past. What if it were true? On 6/11/2020 8:16 PM, 'Shawn Krasniuk' via

Hi all, I moved from a 7 to the new SE. At least to this point it has been a very positive experience for me. Since I had the 7 and not the plus I was even able to keep my same phone case. :) I especially like the fact that my bluetooth now works and I can connect new devices. I would say that

Price. One camera as opposed to two, if I am not mistaken. Probably other factors too. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that we have been visited in the past. What if it were true? On 6/11/2020 8:42 PM, 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries wrote: How do you fig

OK, but a better price is a good thing. And personally, I don’t care about the camera. For a sighted user who takes a lot of pictures, yes, that would be a downgrade, but not sure I would consider it a downgrade for a blind user. I have to say, I’m giving the SE some serious consideration. Cheer

Hi, I’ll just chime in with one comment regarding cameras on iPhones as they relate to blind users. With the onset of AI as part of the iPhone experience, cameras may not be necessary for taking pictures per se for blind people, but the clarity and accuracy of the lens system, along with proce

Hi Tim, You make a great point regarding other use for the camera as a blind user. I will just say that the times that I have used seeing AI as well as other scanning apps I have gotten a faster and more accurate result than I did on my 7. HTH Gabe Sent from Gabe's iPhone > On Jun 12,

I know. I just had to put my $.02 in, too. :) Tim does make a good point about AI, though. If I were feeling wealthy, I'd love to just buy an SE and use it alongside my 11, just to compare the experiences. But since I'm not feeling wealthy, that's not going to happen. lol Cheers, Donna > On Jun
