On this special episode of the Life After Blindness podcast, Tim is joined by Derek Daniel to discuss the announcements Apple made at their 2019 fall event. You can find out more information about Derek by visiting his website, Life After Sight Loss.
Join Tim and Derek as they discuss the upgrades and new cameras for the iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max. They also discuss the other hardware announcements related to Apple Watch and iPad.
Despite being visually impaired, Derek is a photo and video enthusiast who is very excited about the new iPhone cameras. Tim isn’t as excited but they can both agree that the price points for all these products are a really good move on Apple’s part.
Is it worth it to upgrade to any of these new products m. Tim and Derek share their thoughts for my blind persons point of view.
Next, the conversation turns to Apple Arcade and Apple TV+. The guys agree that there may not be a big interest within the blind and visually impaired community for Apple Arcade however they do feel that Apple TV+ could be quite popular. Especially since it comes in at a monthly price of $4.99. Tim then talks about a press announcement from Apple that says every TV show and movie available on Apple TV+ will have audio description in 8 languages at launch.
Then, Tim talks to Derek about the things that were not announced at this year’s Apple event. Including the rumors surrounding a possible tracker or tile type device as well as augmented reality glasses. Hopefully these rumored products will be announced in the near future. Each could be very popular and helpful to people who are blind and visually impaired.
