Yes Apple does employ people with disabilities which is at least good to know but I cannot understand about that particular store, I can assure you all the Apple stores in London sell them as do the Compu b stores in Ireland. ----- Original Message ----- From: Irene Maloney To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, January 20, 2014 11:37 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: i phones Hi Eleanor, The Apple store I telephoned was the one in Newcastle city centre where I bought the iphone. The chap said they definitely don't sell them there and it seemed a huge place to me. I will ask around in the area. Interestingly, the chap who served me with the phone is himself visually handicapped and did need help from other assistants to read certain stuff. He was saying that the chap in charge of the Apple store in Plymouth is totally blind but don't know if this is indeed fact. However, it is great that the Apple stores do employ visually handicapped people.

They do indeed keep bluetooth keyboards, there is even an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, expensive and does not have rechargable batteries. I have the Logitech ultra-thin Mini, again very expensive but worth it. I love it. Then you can get a Bluetooth Keyboard from Amazon which has standard batteries and to my mind looks similar to the Apple expensive one. This one is just £10.00 sterling. I even have a rubber bluetooth keyboard which I purchased in Ireland in Compu b which is the equivilent Apple store in Ireland. ----- Original Message ----- From: Irene Maloney To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, January 20, 2014 8:38 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: i phones Hi, I bought an iphone a couple of weeks ago from an Apple store. It is a 5C and cost £469. That is of course in U.K. currency. Nevertheless, I hope it gives you some idea of the cost. I am determined to conquer using it but at times this seems an impossibility. Do many of you out there use a blue tooth keyboard? The Apple store don't keep them so where can they be purchased? Cheers, Irene. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Seoirse Neilan Sent: 20 January 2014 17:59 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] i phones Hi all, i'm interested in getting an i phone but am unsure of which type to purchase. I am also wondering if it is easy enough to navigate the touch screen and if anyone knows, what are the costs involved ? I would very much appreciate it if anyone could offer me some advice on the above questions. Thanks and God bless, Seoirse Seoirse
