It is a great idea. I think that apple would take more advantage of it's good
job in accessibility if they made a kind of certification for people with
disabilities who use their products, so they can advice individuals or
companies that want to use apple products.
I would say that it would be a great idea that every big apple store around the
world
had a, let's say, accessibility certificated employe who can advice and train
people in this specific issue.
I am as well very interested in this top pick, because here in spain and in
Mexico there is just a small amount of apple users in this market niche.
Take care!
