Hi Carol

I must admit I have the same problem.  When they tell you to turn off your
electrical equipment on an aircraft for take-off and landing, I think to
myself: "Oh here we go", because I know it will be so hit or miss when I
boot my iPhone again, especially as I need it when landing.  This is
definitely the one big wish on my list of Apple enhancements.  It is ok if
you have enough sight or light perception to see the screen brightness.


Kind regards,

Jackie Brown

Can only add, Jackie, that my iPhone, mysteriously perhaps, has never booted
for me on first boot, even if i count really carefully, add or subtract a
sec or two whilst holding in the button. I always have to boot the second
time!
