In response to "it's not marketed to oldsters, who are most likely to use hearing aids. I would bet that the age curve for the iphone and the age curve for hearing " by amanda

I thought you had issues finding a phone that worked with hearing aids when you first got them. - amanda Jan 5, 15:19 5
- I do. All manufacturers are required to sell at least one compatible phone. Apple does not. ergo, illegal. - loosilu Jan 5, 15:21
- I recall the subject ... the IM only works when manufacturers provide an automatic transmission option. Apple doesn't (or didn't in the past, I dunno) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:20 3

    - if cars were required by the fed govt to be available in automatic, this would be a good analogy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 15:22 1
      - yeah, it kind of breaks down on that point; they are required by public demand to have it, so it doesn't need to be regulated ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 5, 15:24
