Jackie, for me I've found that holding down the power button and doing a 1 Mississippi 2 Mississippi 3, and release, seems to work pretty reliably.
Not very techy granted, but it does achieve the desired result, mostly anyway!

Perhaps this is just me, but I find it difficult to know whether my iPhone is off or on when I have needed to reboot it, say having been on anaircraft. 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 thepower button in long enough for the iPhone, and therefore don't know if itis booting or not. Is there a definitive way of knowing this without seeingthe 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 OfBarry 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, andone or two that are just impossible to use with VO, but accessibility of theiPhone 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 lotbetter 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?
