People are different and have different interests. Not everyone is willing 
to tinker to figure something out. Some people just want things to work, and 
don't enjoy playing with their electronics to figure things out and would 
rather use them as tools to get to other things in life. Furthermore, this 
is actually true for most people, which is why software developers strive to 
make their applications intuitive and easy to use. Just because someone 
isn't just like you and has your interests doesn't mean they're screaming 
for attention!

some people want to learn, others don't. The ones who want to learn willing 
to try and learn the ones who don't, you could talk till you're blue in the 
face give them something that's really easy to learn and they refused to 
learn. All part of just wanting attention.

First, the learning curve for the iPhone is really overrated.
The hardest part is learning how to touch the screen.  After that, it's a 
piece of cake.

I've found that the phone reacts to other body parts, such as your elbow, 
nose, chin.
And mine reacted to a cold cup of soda when I leaned the phone against the 
cup accidentally.

And isn't the Blind Shell Phone a flip phone as well as a touch screen 
model?
Perhaps someone knows for sure.

Would anybody have any good suggestions on a good flip phone for the blind. 
I've tried to give my mother my old iPhones and she just can't understand 
how to use it. No matter how hard I try to just tell her let's start with 
the basics on just say using Siri and just make a phone call but she just 
doesn't wanna touch it

Jen:

It depends if you want a simple flip phone, or a smart phone.I am sure there 
will be a debate among members about the advantages and disadvantages of 
each, but, in this day and age, I think a smart phone would be a good 
choice.

As for me, I think the iPhone has the best in accessibility, but that will 
probably be debated also.Hahahaha.

There will be more of a learning curve for a smart phone, but worth the 
challenge.Do you have access to any Apple stores?They have classes for blind 
users, at least, they do where I live.
