Episode 83: An Apple special. First impressions of the iPhone 12 Pro Max, demonstration of the lidar-based people detection feature, and a discussion about the new Apple Silicon Macs

Posted on Posted in episodes

Yes, I know I originally said I would skip a new iPhone this year, but some people are just beyond help. I’ll give you my initial impressions of the iPhone 12 Pro Max as a blind person running Apple’s VoiceOver screen reader after 24 hours of use.

The reason I purchased a new iPhone after all was because of the exciting world of Lidar. Heidi Taylor joins me as we demonstrate the People Detection feature, designed specifically for blind people and built into the latest version of iOS.

Then I’m joined by Katie Frederick and Janet Ingber to discuss Apple’s One More Thing event in which they announced the release of the first three Macs based on Apple Silicon.
