With the 4S,  triple-click Home turns VoiceOver on without needing sighted help.

> Hi Judy!  I now use the IPhone and love it!  Before the IPhone I always just used a flip phone with no voice, it was just a phone.  My husband had used the Iphone for several years using a magnifying glass and that worked for him.  After the Iphone 4s came out and reviews were favorable and more and more of my blind friends starting to use them; I was jealous!  My husband surprised me with one and I tell you; it's awesome!  I am not a techy person and was scared at first, but it really is easy to use and getting used to the voice over and touch screen was not a problem.  Things are easy to understand so poking around and learning is not as stressful as I had anticipated.
