[Electronics-talk] iPhone question

[Snow White Dove]

So what are the vhanges for IOS 7?  Is Siri going to be better? and what are the changes for the blind if you can answer these questions.

thanks and if you can't answer, I totally understand.  My husband is in the same position, just not with the I phone.

also, could you write me off list to tell me how I might become a tester as well.  I go nowhere, except for church without it.

thanks,

Jenny and Shasta

> Not sure what you got this horribly wrong information, but the iOS 7 is not revamped and only has a couple new features that are noticeable to the blind. Visually yes it is revamped before a blind user it is no different than what has brought before. I know this because I am a tester, and now that the GM has been released, I can tell you positively nothing has changed for the blind

Anyone using an iPhone 4 and above will be able to use the new OS, but it would be strongly advised to purchase the updated phone. This will allow for faster running of the phone and better access to apps. The 4, while still useable really should be put to the way side for a more updated phone. Using a phone for a couple of years before upgrading is what we should be doing. The gain far outweighs the cost in my opinion. The iPhone has opened so many doors for the blind, that having to purchase a new one from time to time is of small consequence.

>>> How long can one continue to use an iPhone?  By that I mean if a person bought a phone in 2008 can he still use it today? I don't want to buy one if I'll only get a couple years use out of it.  Thanks.
