[Electronics-Talk] Slightly OT: Setting Up a New iPhone

[Christopher Chaltain]

You can also ask Siri to turn on VoiceOver. This is only after your iPhone is on a network.

            I know that this is not necessarily related to accessibility, but it might save people a lot of time.

            At least for me, I thought that the easiest way to turn on VoiceOver on a new iPhone was to plug it into the computer to connect it to iTunes. This is okay if the iPhone backup that you want to use with your new iPhone is through iTunes. I thought that, once setup, I could choose another backup from iCloud, and sync to that, but that is not the case. I do not know why iCloud backups are not available through iTunes-or maybe they are and it was iTunes not playing well with Windows/JAWS. Either way, it seems that, if you want to sync your new iPhone with an iCloud backup instead of a backup through iTunes, you have to set it up manually. As for VoiceOver, I found out through a Google search that triple pressing the side button will turn on VoiceOver.

            I hope that this helps someone, and I apologize if this was considered enough off topic to not be appropriate for the list.
