  • Some Apple HomeKit setups are breaking after iOS 16.2 update

    I ran into this issue after I updated all devices to their latest respective OS releases and tried to invite my spouse to the Home. Tried waiting it out and attempting to use their mobile number instead of AppleID didn’t help.

    Ultimately had to delete and recreate the home. Took a bit, but adding devices was as smooth as it has ever been and adding my spouse worked immediately thereafter.

  • Apple sued over claims website is inaccessible to visually impaired users

    I ran a general accessibility audit with Chrome's Dev Tools on Apple's homepage, a product page and a "buy" page and they seem to score pretty well. Around 80 out of a score of 100. With some tweaks it could be a bit better, but accessibility seemed to be considered. I'm not sure if there are specific experiences that this suit is meant to target. JAWS is widely used by users requiring accommodations, so I find it odd Apple's web devs haven't audited experiences with it. Accessibility is a benefit for all users (think "all ships rise") since improved controls and structured content don't care if one is sighted, etc. It's also worth considering that around 20% of the population has a need that the ADA addresses. On a long enough timeline, almost everyone lands in that percentage eventually. If I were Apple, I would suggest areas where they are continuing/going to make improvements (the work is never done) and compare their website and product offerings to competitors to show how they stack.
