In recent years, the iPhone has become known for the excellent photographs that it produces. This is not because Apple has defied physics and put a huge camera lens in a tiny iPhone. It is because Apple has learned how to use computational image processing to create stunning photos.

A few years ago, when they introduced the HomePod, Apple showed us that they can create fabulous audio using similar computational processing of sound. The three tech doctors, who are totally blind, can not appreciate the photos but we love how Apple is using its computational engineering magic to delight our ears with amazing audio.

Apple just introduced the new over the ear headphones called AirPods Max which take full advantage of computational processing to create a wonderful audio experience.

In this podcast, the tech doctors give the AirPods Max a thorough examination. This is, of course, what tech doctors do. Sit back, relax and enjoy. We will tell you everything you need to know about the AirPods Max.

The Tech Doctors are publishing this podcast on December 25, 2020. We are currently in the middle of a world wide pandemic that has disrupted all of our lives in one way or another. Far too many people are sick or dead and generalized anxiety is through the roof.

In this podcast, the Tech Doctors share their amazement and gratitude for what Apple has accomplished during this past fall. The new hardware includes: Apple Watch Series 6, four models of iPhone 12, HomePod Mini, M1 MacBooks and AirPods Max.

All of the hardware is running on updated operating systems which brings amazing collaboration between the products. This is something that only Apple can offer. We also saw significant enhancements to accessibility and even a glimpse into the future of indoor navigation for blind people.

The tech Doctors describe how these products bring pleasure and increase their quality of life. Thank you Apple for showing us a way forward.

In this Tech Doctor podcast, Robert is joined by Anna Dresner, Darcy Burnard, Steve Sawczyn and David Woodbridge.

The first accessible iPhone went on sale on June 19, 2009. It was the iPhone 3GS.

We are celebrating ten years of iPhone accessibility and remembering what it was like when our dream came true during the 2009 WWDC keynote presentation. You will hear audio from the WWDC stage and some audio clips from a very excited group of Maccessibility podcasters who recorded just after the 2009 keynote.

Come along with us and relive the excitement. Even after ten years, we are still astounded at the way Apple engineered VoiceOver to work on the iPhone’s touch-screen.

It was wonderful to get this group of iPhone pioneers together. Listen for their contact information at the end of the podcast.
