Hi Mark and all,
Sadly my experience with the new iPhone 15 Pr is manifesting the
annoying drag and drop bug wherein when attempting to place apps before
or after others folders are inadvertently created against the user's
will. It is really irritating and this is on an iPhone 15 Pr which was
set up as new so there's no corruption potentially from having restored
from a backup.
I'm also still not receiving sounders for in coming email even though
all is set properly. But other than those all seems well at this early hour.
And I agree the 15's do feel lighter than those that had come before them.
Take good care,
Robin

So, I am posting this again, now.

Hello All,
Well, I spent 3 hours in the Apple Store this morning with both a 15 Plus
and a 15 Pro Max running iOS 17.
As for the physical devices? They definitely weigh less than the 14 series.
I am happy to report that I could not reproduce any of the VoiceOver
problems discussed on the list, of late.
For example, the single-finger, double-tap problem simply does not exist on
the 15 models I tested.
I had a friend of mine, the executive manager of the store, download a few
third-party apps such as Amazon, Libby, and Yelp. To my delight, VoiceOver
functioned just as expected.
Of course, I was not able to test VoiceOver functionality with my personal
primary third-party app; so in no way am I suggesting that my testing was
definitive or comprehensive.
However, I can say that my first experience with iOS 17 was a good one.
I was delighted to discover that while there were hundreds of preorder
customers waiting in-line, outside the location, the store had plenty of
iPhone 15 models, in all four major categories, ready to be purchase by
those of us who did not preorder.
I wasn't planning on buying a 15 but I have to admit that I really, really
like that new action button, featured on the Pro models. Perhaps I'll pick
up a 15 Pro Max in the next week or so, after I've given it some thought.
I did, however, purchase a set of wired Ear Pods with the USBC connector and
the USBC to Lightning adaptor so that I can continue to use my already
purchased Lightning Ear Pods with USBC devices. It's all about "baby steps"
(smile).
Your Brother in the Journey,
Mark
