[NJTechDiv] Latest iOS and braille

[Tracy Carcione]

I think the problems are only with certain braille displays from Humanware, but, since I'm using the NLS EReader from Humanware as my display with my phone, I am holding off.

Good morning,

One word of caution regarding the recent upgrade, it causes problems with braille displays.
The recommendation is not to upgrade if you use a braille display with your device.
It is a sacrifice because there are security updates which are highly recommended.
I would call Apple Accessibility before you do anything else at this point If you do use a Braille Display.
