Try using Siri as much as you can if you have dexterity problems.

    More? Oh boy! Whatever do you mean? Do you think if I bought a cover it would help? IDK. I'm new at this.

There is a lot more to it than that.

    I hope so because when it says double tap to open, it's like I have to force my fingers to shake semi-violent and hope it hits thethe app I want.
Someone on one of the other mailing lists sent me a recording of him using his I Phone. He made it sound so easy. Like once you hit a number on the keypad and it's one you want, then just touch anywhere else on the screen.
He said Voice Over is only concerned with the last thing you touched.

There may be an accessability setting that may help you.

I'm slowly getting it. LOL! I have shaky wrists that cause my fingers to shake. So it's a little harder for me. Anyway. My uncle is an Apple expert and he lives close by. Thank God.  He turned on Voice Over for me. I just moved from Elgin to Quincy.

Nicole, I hope the store set Voiceover for you through settings, general and accessibility. When the phone freezes, sometimes it's best to shut down altogether with the power button which is on the top right. You have to hold it down for several seconds. You also hold it down for a few seconds to power back up and it takes a good minute in my experience for the phone to power back up again. The home key which is the round one at the bottom of the phone is your go to key for lots of things. I made you an offer of someone to help you. And yes, a lot of us who are totally blind use and love the phone. It does take work at first.
Sharon

I can’t figure out how to unlock the screen. It’s stuck on the camera. My son tells me the screen is gray. All it does is click at me. Which button is the power button? Ugh! I’m so lost. I just got the phone today, for my birthday. Can all blind individuals use one?
