Navazuji na včerejší tip.

Tady je porovnání iPhone a různých odnoží Androidu. Většina lidí má "Android" - distribuci plnou šmírovátek od Google obohacenou o bloatware výrobce, který nejen že šmíruje po svém, ale často zavléká bezpečnostní chyby, zabírá místo v úložišti i RAM.

V GrapheneOS mimo jiné vůbec není položka "Reklama" s Mobile Advertising ID.

I am impressed at how #Apple’s #AIWritingTools re-worded my text messages into a “professional” voice.

one of my real pain points with the iPhone is composing emails using the built-in mail app with #voiceover. It’s got slightly better with iOS 18, but the Misspelt Words option in the rotor still does not work. This might not be an issue for some, but for me I cannot send emails on the phone with confidence that it is written accurately and looks professional. I know there's the option of writing it in the Notes app, reviewing it and then pasting it into Mail, but come on! That's such a clunky workaround.

Is Mail any better on the iPad at all? I would quite like something that is an in between device to a laptop and a phone that I could use to quickly write emails, make additions to documents, write quick notes etc, and in that sense the iPad could be a nice fit, but if iPadOS has the same issues as the iOS versions then meh, it might not add much for me. Any thoughts?

My plea to all iOS apps developers for 2024: for the love of everything that is humane, use Apple's native photo picker. Was trying to get started with a couple of apps that require a photo upload and all VoiceOver kept saying was "Thumbnail, button" "Image, button" "Photo, button". Only yesterday I figured it is possible to get the native experience when uploading a screenshot for a technical support representative to see. I have a lot of photos where I know what's on them and that they're the ones I want to upload but I need at least the date they were taken. Thanks! #Accessibility #Blind #Apple #iOSDev #VoiceOver

"Bier’s first hit app, TBH, was marketed to teenagers and...it 'requested address book access before actually being able to use the app'. [...] Bier’s reputation for success is built on this growth hacking technique, so I understand why he is upset."

"Apple’s solution is imperfect. But if it stops the Biers of the world from building apps which ingest wholesale the contact lists of teenagers, I find it difficult to object."

Here's the disappointingly inaccessible AirPods 4 reset procedure from #Apple:

1. Open the lid of your charging case.
2. Double-tap the front of the case while the status light is on.
3. Double-tap again when the status light flashes white.
4. Double-tap a third time when the status light flashes faster. When the status light flashes amber then flashes white, you can reconnect your AirPods.

Playing around with the new iOS 18 features and I thought the new command mode of Braille Screen Input will make me the ultimate forms wizard, just opening the BSI, filling one field in, switching to commands and over to the next field. It sort of works with the dots 1 and 4 navigating to the previous and next item but it also goes over every single label, anything that is not a form field etc. Tried the same by setting the rotor to form controls but as soon as an edit field is found the editing commands jump in and I can only navigate by characters, words and lines. What would actually help is a gesture simulating the pressing of tab to jump to the next interactive element. Rant, and voice, over. #Accessibility #Blind #Apple #iOS

For me, the best thing about the #WatchOS11 update is that you can finally change the sounds for certain alert types, and when you change the sound, it changes the haptic as well. This means that I can finally tell the difference between text/iMessages and emails without having to use VoiceOver to check. Such a simple thing, but long overdue in my opinion!

I did some quick research about Apple Inc.'s financials earlier today and figured I might as well post it here before closing those tabs:

Market Capitalization (aka marketcap) is the value of one share of a company multiplied by the number of shares in existence.

Apple's marketcap is currently sitting around 3.358 Trillion USD [1].

For context, this is approximately 183% of the marketcap of Alphabet (Google), which is 1.835 Trillion [2], or roughly 216% the expected 2025 budget of the US military

[3]As of the end of Q2 2024 Apple had 25.565 Billion USD in cash or cash equivalents

After reading about the recent #Apple event in numerous outlets, I can unequivocally say that I absolutely do not want anything announced this year. Apples Tech consumerism hasn’t worked on me for a long time, but I think, what I am going to do, is just get a new battery for this latest SE that I have, new screen protector, a new case, and I will be good to go for years. As for headphones, I’ve got wonderful pairs of Bluetooth headphones that work with the current iPhone so I don’t need or want the new AirPods. In short, there is no necessary need for me to upgrade and my hardware is in actually pretty good condition. No scratches, no scrapes, so there’s just no need to upgrade anything I have.

Here is a gescription of the 4 colours of the iPhone Pro and Pro Max. This is from Access AI. Certainly! Here is a detailed description of the colors for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max:

1. **Black Titanium**: This color is a deep, rich black with a subtle metallic sheen, characteristic of titanium. The surface has a matte finish, which reduces reflections and gives it a sophisticated and sleek appearance. The black color emphasizes the premium feel of the titanium material, making it look both modern and elegant.

2. **White Titanium**: This variant is a crisp, clean white with a slightly cool tone. The titanium material gives it a subtle metallic luster, making the white appear more refined and luxurious. The matte finish ensures that the surface is smooth and less prone to fingerprints, maintaining its pristine look.

3. **Natural Titanium**: This color showcases the raw, natural appearance of titanium. It has a neutral, grayish tone that highlights the inherent beauty of the titanium material. The matte finish enhances the texture, giving it a sophisticated and industrial look. This color is perfect for those who appreciate the natural aesthetics of metal.

4. **Desert Titanium**: This is a warm, sandy beige color with a hint of metallic sheen. The titanium material gives it a unique, luxurious appearance, while the matte finish ensures a smooth, non-reflective surface. The warm undertones make this color stand out, providing a blend of elegance and modernity.

Each color option has been designed to complement the premium materials and craftsmanship of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, ensuring that they not only look stylish but also feel luxurious in hand. #Apple

Apple gave us a great, #accessible graphing calculator on #iOS and #iPadOS in the form of math notes. Given, for example a quadratic function: y=2x^2 +x +1 it generates a graph which sounds like this. While such simple quadratic equations can be used only in schools I see huge potential in making math more accessible to the #blind. As a math nerd and someone who almost failed a year at school due to accessibility, I am really happy and grateful to #apple for making this accessible to us.

This is gross, and further confirms Apple’s transition from innovation to rent-seeking, but there is a good solution: Stop having an app. Patreon would work just fine as a web site, no?

I honestly wish the audio games forum was shutting down instead of @AppleVis but on a more serious note, I'd love the site to be given to the community or archived in some way because this is blindness history and there is no other comparable repository of accessible apps for iOS. Can someone, anyone, talk to David and the team and preserve the apps databases, at least? Give the website to the community, don't just shut it down completely because there's a lot of community value. Shut down the forums, but at least keep the repositories and blog posts alive for as long as the domain and host will last. applevis.com/blog/end-era-mess… #Apple #Blind #Accessibility

Eben bin ich ziemlich unerwartet über Apples Serienremake von Time Bandits (Trailer) gestoßen. Ich bin gespannt ob die Serie (Trailer) an den Film der ja nun auch schon wieder ein gutes Stück länger her ist heran kommt, oder ob es eine weitere minderwertige Verwertung von früher mal Erfolgreichen ist.

Despite all my experience, I am sometimes tempted to give certain #software vendors a second chance.

And I was curious to see what the new #AppleMaps could do. Unfortunately, my trial only lasted a few seconds, because neither one of my operating systems nor the browser I use for my daily work are supported.

And so I can say: negative prejudices confirmed, I don't need something like this.
