Well done OP for putting this out there. Any little that can help people in these categories is great.

Anyone with such a condition will already be aware of the products available, but may not have known that they were able to purchase via Amazon, so that's useful. I hate that most advice you get suggests specific suppliers that are often well overpriced for the items they sell and work out bad value even with the VAT off.
One example was a T-Loop system I purchased last year. The recommended suppliers wanted £120+ for it. Amazon was around £17 for the exact same product. If they have the items you need you can save a small fortune.

As "goods that have been designed solely for disabled people"?

I assume it was a joke...

Perhaps, but with this having been posted under "entertainment" and "fashion", among other mostly non-eligible categories, I wouldn't be surprised to see it being misinterpreted.

I'm sure that whatever we say in the world today that somebody will find a reason not to like it.

Indeed a joke on the basis that you have to be mad to pay their prices.

Fair enough. And yep, you're probably right with that. :stuck_out_tongue:

It is a shame that Apple's prices are so high because their accessibility features are very, very good; especially for the visually impaired who, thanks to software such as VoiceOver, can keep in touch and stay connected with folk. When phones with physical buttons started go out of fashion, my wife was very worried but VoiceOver has made it much easier to use smart phones and iPads.

My Mrs got her vat back on an Apple Mac from Stormfront about four years ago. They couldn't work out how much the voice over and access facilities were worth on their own so didn't charge any VAT at all!
