The Apple Keynote - New Apple Watch’s, iPads,Services, and iOS 14 and Watch OS 7 Released

 

A fantastic Apple Keynote last week, an hour long, and completely Audio Described.

You can still watch the Apple Event on:

https://www.apple.com/apple-events/

 

For more info on the new Apple Watch S6, Apple Watch SE, iPad 8th Generation,  iPad Air, Apple 1, and Apple Fitness Plus, and iOS 14, check them all out on the Apple Aussie website at:

Quite a few new bands, including the Solo and Braided Solo bands which are one long rubber band which you have to size correctly as you just slip it on and if you have measured it correctly with Apple’s Guide it will fit snuggly.

 

iOS 14 and Watch OS 7 Some Major features which I think Are Fantastic

 

Widgets.

App Library.

Pin conversations in Messages..

Send An Audio message via Siri.

1 finger Double or Triple Back tap.

VoiceOver Recognition.

 

Watch os 7

 

Sleep app.

Braille support for VoiceOver.

Change VoiceOver languages on the fly.

 

Apple TV was also updated to iOS 14, as well as the iPod touch 7th generation.

 

I’ve noticed a bit of instability in iOS 14 in some iOS apps, and on the Watch OS 7 side, Taptic time is not that reliable to use, and some folks have reported issues using it with a Braille Display.

If your happy with iOS 13 and Watch OS 6, perhaps see how things unfold over the next several weeks.
