Hello, I don't particularly despise Android phones, in fact, I have a Nexus 5 that works reasonably well. But I will say for certain, with absolute confidence, that there are some cheap, poorly made phones that run Android, one brand comes to mind specifically, something called a ZTE. I was attempting to help an individual use Talkback on this phone, and you had to double tap in exactly the right place to activate an item. If you did not do this correctly, nothing would happen. Double tapping the Home icon took multiple attempts, nothing would ever activate on this cheap phone, and it was a horrible and hideous user experience. Too many poorly constructed crummy cheapphones flooding the market. Obviously, I-Devices are consistent in every way.

Yes, they are more expensive, but so much easier to use. I loathe Talk Back, it is more frustrating for me. I tried using an Android tablet and an Android phone and hated both of them. It is IOS all the way for me. -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Scott Sent: Saturday, May 20, 2017 11:55 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Convince me guys IOS or no IOS IOS is definitely more accessible than Android, from wha I have read. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ryan Mann <rmann0...@gmail.com To: viphone@googlegroups.com Date sent: Sat, 20 May 2017 09:27:14 -0400 Subject: Re: Convince me guys IOS or no IOS I like the blindness apps that are available for IOS. BeSpecular and Be My Eyes are a couple examples. Money Reader is another example. It is really easy to use a Braille display with IOS. Just go into VoiceOver Settings, Braille then pair it. One thing that really annoys me about Android is that from what I understand, each phone is laid out differently because each manufacturer puts its junk on. An iPhone is an iPhone. Once you learn one, you can use any iPhone that you have your hands on. Usually, when I get a new iPhone, I am able to get it set up within an hour or less then go on about my business. What really annoys me about Android is that not every phone gets updates. That means that if I am one of the unlucky people who has a phone that won't get Android O, I just have to read on mailing lists about the kool features while I'm stuck on the earlier version.

I currently have a blackberry PRIV running android 6.0.1, love the phone yes! But here is my question. I just got myself a brand new shiny fast sleek MBP and the question of android or IOS is popping into my head. I have a good while before I can afford to afford to get a new device, but I want some input here. Other than the continuity features, please tell me what is so great about IOS today. Please don’t tell me that its got the best accessibility, because that is a fallacy since google is equal, but features, useful new tools, etc just something that would actually sway me more to looking seriously at IOS again. thanks Doug. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
