I had a ton of issues with quit NAV, and there were a lot of little quirks and stuff that wasn’t as accessible that I expected to be accessible… Like adding a card to Apple Pay or navigating deep within system settings, or using the terminal. I also use Microsoft 365, and it just plain works better on windows. The issue with braille is that, after a while, the display would just disconnect and reconnect. Most of the time you would lose anywhere from a few words to a few lines of text that you just input. Sometimes spaces and new lines would all get inserted at the end of the document instead of where you put them. It was an absolute mess, and from what I understand, max don’t even properly support Bluetooth braille displays anymore. It’s not like I’m using some super obscure device… Relatively speaking. I tried a humanware brailliant, and I currently use a fifth generation freedom scientific focus 40 blue. I do math and light programming. Braille is non-negotiable. It has to work

I felt like it was no where as efficient as NVDA, and clunky. I can’t even search my mail, for a while I couldn’t remove apps from my dock as well. Just found it annoying and it’s kinda heartbreaking since I love Apple and used a Mac when I was more low vision compared to now.

I dislike iOS due to the lack of customization (plus a slight preference for Samsung hardware) and MacOS runs all of my dev tools and lets me have a full-featured local dev environment without the need to deal with VMs or containerization.

Orca is outdated and as far as I know not maintained. I want to work on building a modern screen reader for Linux, but it's no easy task. Also if I build one from scratch it would probably be built more for me with my partial vision.

Older generations hmm general second hand market i think. I mean old devices of Apple ecosystem new ones are out of reach for anyone maybe only politicians and celebrities 5.000-8.500 cash when you monthly get 700 as disabled person?

I checked the prices for used MacBooks from 2009 right now it's 500-1800 cash still quite alot compared to new Windows laptops from store you can get new laptop for the same price.
Maybe because in that country there's no Apple Store or Apple seller apart from one mobile provider that's the hype and prices?

As a disabled person you usually get 500-700 cash disability benefits for everything (rent is 500-1700 or more depends on city - only solution live with parents or with friends or with multiple people or marriage quickly, meds some are partially refunded some not some non available due costs but health insurance is mostly free not if you go private or go to dentist it's full cost self pay there or lose job, transport is often price reduced there's no Uber) as student/schooler with low income or excellent grades extra 500-700 so money mostly goes elsewhere. Average job is extra 1.300-1.700 people there can't buy new Apple devices market share in Internet usage is constantly 3-6% of mobile sales due prices.
