Great video, James! Yep, you are a “little biased” toward Apple, lol! It’s interesting to hear the things you use as one who is legally blind” versus what our kids use, who are all completely blind and born that way (without ANY visual frame of reference at all). Our kids use Apple iPhone and tablet products, but use PC/Windows because the corporate employment world is dominated by PC/Windows. Google, Microsoft, and Samsung are trying hard to make their products more accessible constantly, so we are encouraging them to do so buy buying and using their products (as well as Apple products) and providing feedback back to them!
There are many good things to be said about Apple (despite their stock market decline and reduction in revenue...) but there a lot of good to be said about the other eco systems as well. I think all art very good and its great to live in a capitalist society because competition creates innovation. The more they try to make their products better than the other, the better it will be for all customers- blind or sighted. :)
Hi, Mr. Rath!!! I love you so much! I'm am also legally blind. And you inspire me so much! I'm only 13 now, and you helped me through my childhood. Thank you so much for you inspiration!
Hey this is interesting! I am also blind and an Apple user. I think it would be really difficult to switch to android for a week. So glad that you’re also an Apple user and since you were also blind. Thanks for the great video! Matt
Hi I'm legally blind also. I'm planning on switching to a Apple phone. both you and Molly Burke have shown how useful their products are for our community.in my opinion the Android is not very blind user friendly.
I’ve found that for my needs the iphone works better as a legally blind persons but I have used androids in the past and have been a good experience although you have to be willing to play with the phone settings to access the access abilities features. But most of the apps I use are better or only available in iOS.
I have been using Android devices for 4 years now. However, I'm willing to switch back to iOS. I had used iOS for 3 years before I switched to Android. I don't have any difficulties using Android or iOS, but I really prefer Apple devices.
The essential phone? Dinosaur! Well… Compared to my HTC one m nine, shiny brand new! iOS base accessibility into the operating system where is android offers a suite of applications! Processing power makes a huge difference! Yes! I’m totally blind at an Apple fan boy! I am also an audio file and a professional musician! For this, android freedom rips Apple! Thanks for the vid cheers… Keith
Right when I am about to get an android phone in three days, he comes along with this video:-) Thanks I'm partially sighted and was wondering how accessible the android would be for me🙂 ❤️ this.
There are actually a lot of people like me who are legally blind who use android. It's honestly a preference thing. Sam from the blind life uses samsung and he loves it. I use a pixel 2XL and derek from life after sight loss uses iphone. Everyone can use which ever operating system. I suggest you try both at a local store where you can play with them and try them both out! (Also, if you're interested, and you use magnification, I have videos on both iphone zoom and android magnification) if you use a screen reader, the blind life has a lot of tutorials for both operating systems.
this is a great video, thanks. im almost blind roo and im using the Iphone X as my daily driver, ive tryed android for a week to, but same here, id didnt work that well for me
Android and Samsung is so much better than IOS. Every single app i use on android the font size changes when you change phone settings. The font size in apps is huge on Samsung phones compared to IOS. Apps like Twitter, Amazon, Ebay, News apps, RUclips etc. Most apps on ios do not support dynamic type so they don't change size when you change system settings. Could not go back to apple after using these Samsung features in one ui. Only thing i don't like about Samsung is notifications are smaller than IOS.
If you come from a different ecosystem, it's not a surprise that it's harder to navigate. I've had issues when I first used the modern Mac OS system. However, it's good to see how people with disabilities uses a different ecosystem. I hope android manufacturers see this and learn something they can add to their future phones
It's a good OS, it offers a lot but hasn't worked for me. I started with Android before having an iPhone, first-gen Galaxy S, then later tried the S8+. then the Essential H-1. I've tried multiple times but always open to trying it again as more features and updates are released.
Ok, so you know me and how I live in the blind and sighted world almost at the same time. Android phones for me are not the well built. I was using it as a sighted person. My main compliant was that the android had less storage space then I needed
I use VoiceOver on Apple despite having 20/20 vision because I have fairly extreme light sensitivity due to my Sensory Processing Disorder. I really appreciate visually impaired content creators like you because although we might have different conditions, often the solutions work for a surprising variety of people.
Partialy sighted user, iPhone XS Max, love and use all the features you use, I've used android devices in the past nothing wrong with them its just like you say the operating system just doesn't work as smoothly as apples for us impaired/blind people.
I'v used apple products for as long as I could remember. First with the Mac back in 2006, when VoiceOver was just starting out. I can remember clearly when I first started using this amazing tool. Although, I must say that the early days of VO needed a lot of work. I remember, and I’m not sure if this was just with the computer I used, but I remember whenever I used voiceover back then, that it would read some stuff but others not as much. Mind you, my first introduction to voiceover was quite new to me, having used a desktop computer with JAWS, as well as the early days of the humanware braille note back in 2004. Fast forward to about 2011, and they started implementing us blind students to use iPads at the school I went to. This is really where my love for voiceover came to be. I was about 13 at the time, and didn’t have an iPhone, but I do remember due to my love of voiceover that for Christmas 2011, I received an iPod touch fourth generation. I adored that device although this is just my opinion, but I was not crazy about the compact samantha voice. Now that I think about it, I was not crazy about this samantha voice at all to begin with. I don’t know, she just wasn’t doing it for me. Fast forward yet again to 2015, and I received my first iPhone, the iPhone 5s. It was then that I started using the US Siri voice at the time, as well as Alex for a short while when iOS 9 was released. However, this all changed when I found the voiceover voice that I continue to use to this day, Allison. She is the one voice that I can actually tolerate. Yet again, a few years later, I received my second iPhone which is my current one, the iPhone XR. Quite a huge jump from the days of the 5S, but I can honestly say that I don’t miss that home button one bit. As you can see, I have loved Apple products ever since then and will continue to do so for many years to come.
I've only ever had Sony phones. Started with Sony Ericsson button phones, and bought a Sony Xperia for my first smart phone. It lasted for 3 and a half years before the camera died, and I continued to use it for another few months before purchasing a new one. Thought about getting a Samsung just to try something new, but ended up with another Sony Xperia, only a newer version. I just love the size of the Xperia compacts, and how cheap they are. I also don't need a phone with lots of fancy features, as I mainly use it to scroll social media and snap some pictures here and there. So Sony fits me well. I'm sighted, but I have tried playing around with the accessability features just for fun. Something I've noticed, is that Talk Back is kinda tricky when you have text in several languages your phone. I have mine set to Norwegian, which makes it sound reaaaly weird and cringy when reading English text. On my previous phone, the voice was apparently set to English, which made the Norwegian text sound really weird. I wonder if that's any better on Apple products...
Man. I wish the stigma of people with low vision always running to iPhones can stop. I have severely low vision and I'm fine running my Galaxy Note 9 without TalkBack. I just make sure to have magnification gestures on, and something cool I can do here is use my S-Pen to magnify stuff. I'm not taking aim at you though, nice video. Select to speak has been around for a good while, I remember getting it on a Samsung tablet with Android 5.1.1. I just wanted to address that there are legally blind users of Android as well, that's all.
Totally fair! I use what works for me and my needs (Apple's video editing software is a huge factor) but everyone has a preference and that should be respected!
Nice video! I am legally blind and my eyes are getting worse. I have always used Android phones and currently have a Samsung Galaxy S8+. The typical accessibility features work well such as zoon, font, neagive colors and a few others. I recently activated the Voice Assistant so I can start learning it. It has some glitches for sure. The biggest issue so far is when doing text to speech input. The Voice Assistant picks up the description of the enter button. Sometimes it will start entering “tap to pause” or other descriptions into the text field. Very frustrating. And like somebody else pointed out, trying to edit text is a real challenge. So this could be a deal breaker for me and I may have to go to IOS. I also use the Google Assistant and when I say “Ok Google”, the Voice Assistant starts reading what’s on the screen while the Google Assistant is talking back to me. Both of these issues seem to be a conflict between Goodle and Samsung. Also, I am mysteriously turning off Voice Feedback within the Voice Assistant. It has something to do with a two finger gesture or swipe but cannot figure out what I’m doing to cause it. Obviously if you were totally blind and this gets shut off, it would be a problem with no sound feedback. The only way to correct it is to turn off Voice Assistant and turn it back on. I like this phone and the accessibility features work well for partially blind people. But I have not seen any videos of somebody working an Android phone. I have seen several videos of totally blind people working iphones. So it may not be easy but I’m willing to switch because I use voice to text a lot oand it would be a nightmare using this phone to do it with Voice Assistant on. Maybe it’s just this phone? Not sure.
Hi I'm blind since birth and you and other youtubers like Tommy Edison have inspired me to stsrt my own chanel about blindness. I should have my first content up in the next couple of weeks
I’ve never tried the Speak Screen option so I’ll have to give that a try. I’d like to give Android a try but I’m also very used to using Apple products. Either way it’d be nice to know how it is to use an Android phone like my iPhone.
I actually did an unboxing and setup of the Google Pixel 5A - I honestly love Android 12's UI updates too. I'll probably make a video about that in the near future.
I am legally blind too and I use android. It works for me I have never use apple's phone. Right now its hard for me to go to the transition of learning IOS vs Windows. The only reason why Im making the switch is because Im working on starting my you tube channel and need to learn I movie. That its a pain in the rear lol.
if you would buy a samsung of the range s or note and more precisely the s10 and S20 or the Note 10 you would not say the same thing and you would baculate directly towards samsung believe me
Be my eyes just added a specialized help button that let's you get Google/Android support but not 24/7. A couple hugely frustrating things about talk back are dismissing notifications and editing text. I can't stand the lack of the rotor and action menus. It's really easy to lose the focus on a particular text field on Android when trying to navigate by words or characters.
I wanna make a video trying it out. I heard it was exclusive to Pixel users... Gonna look into that as all I have are Galaxy S8 and Essential Phone. Would love to do a video about that!
nice video My son is using a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Plus phone and I am thinking about buying him a iPhone 7 I hope my decision is correct I have a question for you that do you think voice over is have any updation so soon Hoping for a answer soon thank you
About six years ago I went completely blind due to my diabetes and I surgeries I see nothing no shapes no shadows no outlines nothing about a year and a half-ish after that I found a course teaching people how to use voiceover with an eye device the reason they claim they use a device is because it is a more refined and generally easier and easier to learn process then what android offers having said that I have never tried to use an android device but I do feel that being able to use my iPad to look things up on the Internet or look up RUclips videos or email people or download apps to call people has really improved my life greatly
@@jamesrath ha ha funny thing is I was looking up this video because I've been thinking of switching to android however, will give you an update since I posted on this video last night long after that I did get an actual iPhone I've been using an iPhone since I have not touched my iPad cents because I actually found I like the smaller screen for me being completely blind. I can actually find things easier, anyway I've just been thinking of switching to the android because from my understanding in the last few years talkback has come along way. Also have just been thinking of just trying it to try something different anyway, completely forgot it about posting on this video you just ran across my own comment. This is funny.
I use android on a moto G5s plus because it offers the features I want like expandable memory and a headphone jack. I have 20/80 vision so I don't quite have to rely on the accessibility features so much but sometimes I would like to give my eyes a break and maybe just listen to what I would otherwise be reading and android doesn't do that very well. Speakscreen and talkback on ios seem more refined but alone aren't going to sway me to iphone
You may want to double check the date this was posted. That was the essential phone. Vanilla android, solid processor, decent camera. Keep in mind we’re comparing accessibility features lol this isn’t an MKBHD general phone review
i ve used iphones.....they dont feel like a personal device you cant make it yours as much and all that emoji i message and time wasting crap.... lol im 28 and as an adult i dont use non of that never done never will
Very nice video. I'm Legally (I HATE that word) Blind as well as Deaf (wear CI). Right now I use both systems. Android for phone and tab S8 Samsung and an iPad mini. Personally I dislike Google accessibility. It just seems half baked. Like Google just added option because they didn't want to be sued so just threw it in. Apple hands down is king/queen when it comes to the disabled. So much support. They even have chat signers. I wish I could afford an iPhone as I would chuck this Google cr*** out the window....BUT on the other side of this coin, I really dislike Apples system itself (iPadIOS) it really needs to join the modern age! Home screen icons/text super tiny. OUTDATED file manager system. NO EXPANDABLE STORAGE (My biggest gripe lol). Their utter greed when it comes to many things...like the ep. storage. Their utter garbage of iCloud. Their intentionally making it very difficult for cross platforming.If I could have Apples accessability options on a Samsung device I would be in heaven.
Open source apps too-I'm sure there's a ton of accessibility apps/social media clients that aren't on the App Store because it goes against their stringent standards.

To navigate the green
Screen in zoom triple tap but hold down to pan around.
I prefer android but for accessibility qpps and features it seems that apple has it down
Actually, I think they're about the same... there are blind people who use both and swear by both. lol. They're both good and both could improve.

Hi James!,
Where did you get that jacket? I really like it!
I think the one I was wearing in this one was from H&M.
James Rath Ok cool, thanks for letting me know
Why didnt you try a flagship from Samsung? Its much better
I wanted to try Vanilla Android. I've used Samsung devices. I've had the first Galaxy phone, and the S8+. Even 8 iterations, didn't do it for me.
i ve used iphones.....they dont feel like a personal device you cant make it yours as much and all that emoji i message and time wasting crap.... lol im 28 and as an adult i dont use non of that never done never will
Hey i love you so so so much
Get a guide dog
That doesn't look or sound like a good android phone
U are so inspiring 🖤🖤🖤🙏🙏
Very nice video. I'm Legally (I HATE that word) Blind as well as Deaf (wear CI). Right now I use both systems. Android for phone and tab S8 Samsung and an iPad mini. Personally I dislike Google accessibility. It just seems half baked. Like Google just added option because they didn't want to be sued so just threw it in. Apple hands down is king/queen when it comes to the disabled. So much support. They even have chat signers. I wish I could afford an iPhone as I would chuck this Google cr*** out the window....BUT on the other side of this coin, I really dislike Apples system itself (iPadIOS) it really needs to join the modern age! Home screen icons/text super tiny. OUTDATED file manager system. NO EXPANDABLE STORAGE (My biggest gripe lol). Their utter greed when it comes to many things...like the ep. storage. Their utter garbage of iCloud. Their intentionally making it very difficult for cross platforming.If I could have Apples accessability options on a Samsung device I would be in heaven.
Discounts android being open play store.
Open source apps too-I'm sure there's a ton of accessibility apps/social media clients that aren't on the App Store because it goes against their stringent standards.
Yo try Samsung it's s lot better than that android phone and as good as your iOS phone
I Youse Androied select to Speeck
I found that. iOS is accessible much more than Google is in general!
Not really
android is better
