> This new edition of our soup-to-nuts tutorial for beginners contains everything you need to know to get started using the iPhone and the iOS 15 operating system. If you like step-by-step tutorials, you'll appreciate the detailed way in which you're guided through setting up your phone, placing calls, configuring VoiceOver, entering text and working with apps, using a Bluetooth keyboard and braille display, and more. If you prefer to look up the commands you need, you'll love the first appendix, which lists the most handy gestures and buttons in an organized manner so you can find the one you want. Other appendices include troubleshooting tips and a list of resources to help you learn more. Most of the book is relevant for iPod touch users, and since the layout of iPhone Plus screens resembles that of iPad screens, iPad users should find this edition useful as well.

Greetings to all.

I am putting this on the list as it has to do with the virtual experience for those who will not be attending the convention in person.  We are asked to share this information with those who might not have a computer as there are a number of ways this will be shared on Echo devices, on NEWSLINE and ZOOM.

Michael Powell, President NFBM
