Apple iPhone accessibility woes for 5.1.1 upgrade

Here I was starting to think that Apple's tyrannical approach did have one advantage over the more open and free spirited android OS (at least on the surface), the consistent look and feel that came about I presumed by developers knowing they would be subjected to a vetting program, a "is your app worthy" process to be available through the official Apple channel.

Well the latest iPhone IOS 5.1.1 update changed that view really quickly.

An official piece of code from Apple themselves, sure they will have tested its suitability with the phones own native support for accessibility such as voice-over? With such a dismal failure for voice-over to announce the terms and conditions page or any of the buttons on it I would guest not.

So if you or you have a friend that are totally blind or close enough it makes no difference you may want to advise them that having a sighted person around during the update is probably a good idea.

Apple it would seem has adopted the "Do as I say, not as I do" line.

Apple, sort out out your checks on your own software and NOT just focus on policing others.
