Incidentally, I'm told September 19 is the launch date for the new iPhone. At 19:01 05/09/2014, you wrote:
Well, let's see if that is about to change in iOS 8.

I flip the mute on and off. If the phone doesn't vibrate, it's turned off.

Nokia handsets gave me a definite vibration when they turned on, as does my S4 Mini with Telorion. But I never know whether I have held the power button in long enough for the iPhone, and therefore don't know if it is booting or not. Is there a definitive way of knowing this without seeing the screen light up? Other than that, I have no complaints about accessibility of built-in apps and restoration etc. Kind regards, Jackie Brown Emails: jackieannbrown62@xxxxxxxxx thebrownsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Twitter: @thebrownsplace Skype: Thejackmate -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Barry Hill Sent: 05 September 2014 13.20 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Top 3 iPhone accessibility Problems There are some apps that I've installed that have unlabelled buttons, and one or two that are just impossible to use with VO, but accessibility of the iPhone itself seems to be just fine. I've done resets and fresh installs with no problems. The thing I do think could be better is accessibility of iTunes. It's a lot better than it was, but it's still not easy.

For example, are there instances where sighted assistance is simply unavoidable for performing an operating system related task? Can one reset the phone to default factory settings without sighted help?
