The Accessible Technology Podcast

Apple recently announced the M3 family of chips and the new M3 MacBook Pro / M3 iMac during their October event. These new chips and Macs offer a higher amount of Storage and RAM, as well as a faster processor, but that will not be enough to make the most up to date Macs appealing to everyone. So in this episode, you get to hear me reacting to Apple’s October Event, while also telling you my thoughts.

On 12 September 2023, Apple held another launch event. During this event, they announced 2 new Apple Watches and the iPhone 15 (iPhone 15 itself, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Plus).

In this podcast episode, you get to hear me reacting to the most recent Apple event, while also giving you insights into what all I think about Apple's most recent announcements.

In 2021, I started testing out a customised DSi council, which had been customised for me, that had an external switch port hardwired into it, that works with the L and R buttons.

In this episode, I test 5 more games out on it.

The Nintendo DSi was first launched back in 2008, and was the 3rd DS console to ever be released.

It was the first DS to include a camera (before even smartphones were capable of taking pictures), as well as being the first to get an audio player.

However, while the DSi (and other consoles in the family) were groundbreaking for the time, there were a lot of games that were very inaccessible.

That's why I contacted the Special Effect Gaming Charity to customise a DS for me, which I have now been loaning for some time.

In this episode, I test 5 more games on this customised DSi.

The Apple Vision Pro was the last thing to be announced at the end of Apple's WWDC23 conference on the 5th of June this year, that is supposed to move us into a new era of computing.

The device comes with features that will be familiar if you have had an iPhone, an iPad or an Apple Watch, while also offering AR / VR Features. And you can even use it with your eyes, your fingers or your voice.

But how accessible is it going to be for disabled users?

In this episode, I will give you my full thoughts.

The first Mac Mini came out in 2005, marking a way for new users of the Mac to start getting into it, thanks often to their lower price. If anyone wanted to get a Mac Mini, they would only have to buy the Mac Mini and a compatible display.

The MacBook Pro, meanwhile, was first launched in 2006, and was the first Mac EVER to feature a backlit keyboard. It was also the first to include a MagSafe power connector. But most important, it was originally only available in 15". This remained the case until 2019, when the 15" MacBook Pro was discontinued and replaced by the 16" model. Then in 2021 it was replaced again, that time by the 14".

But in January 2023, Apple announced their new Mac Minis and new 14" and 16" MacBook Pros, which have both been powered with the M2 Chip.

In this episode, you get to hear me reacting to their announcement and giving my thoughts.
