Year End Review: Apple 2015

In this podcast, the Tech Doctors offer their opinions on the major hardware and software that Apple released in 2015. It was a very busy year with plenty of excitement along the way. They begin with the opinion that VoiceOver Accessibility has steadily improved throughout the year. As of the end of 2015, the Tech Doctors are confident that VoiceOver is performing well on all of the Apple devices. The current versions of iOS 9, OS X WatchOS 2 and tvOS are all working well with VoiceOver. The Tech Doctors next discuss the Apple Watch. Robert loves his watch and uses it every day both at work and at home. Allison has not integrated her watch into her life to the extent that Robert has,but she acknowledges that the watch improves with every software update. Allison expects to enjoy the watch a lot more in 2016. Robert briefly discusses an app which allows one to silently check the time on the watch by detecting vibration patterns that represent the hours and minutes. The app is called TimeBuzz. Robert next briefly demonstrates an app called iReg. This app allows one to record audio directly on the Apple Watch. The Tech Doctors talk briefly about the new MacBook. Neither Robert nor Allison have one but they believe that it is the beginning of a new and exciting next generation of Apple laptops. The Tech Doctors are seriously enjoying Apple Music. They love having streaming access to more than 30 million songs on iTunes. The Tech Doctors then spend some time on the iPhone 6s Plus. Allison and Robert are of the opinion that this is by far the best iPhone that they have ever owned. The podcast finishes with a discussion of the new 4th generation Apple TV, iPad Pro and OS X El Capitan. The Tech Doctors feel that Apple did a great job in 2015. They can’t wait to see what comes along in 2016. Finally, Robert and Allison very much appreciate your support of the Tech Doctor podcast. We hope you will continue to listen as we are certain that the best is yet to come.
