[NFBMO] new iPhone

[Seyoon Choi]

Hi Brian,

Similar to VoiceOVer’s accessibility shortcut, push and hold the side b button on the right to activate Siri. Most iPhone models, such as 12 and 13 models are 6.1 inches diagonally, mini models are even smaller at 5.4 inches diagonally.

Hope this helps.
Seyoon,

> Hi, Brian. I have the iPhone 13 pro model.,Michael has described the home screen gesture. Also, they wa I describe it is that it is about a quarter of the way up from the bottom of the screen, when you tap from the bottom and slide up.  The app switcher is just a further swipe up the screen. For example, if you are on the home screen, or in another app, a slide about halfway up the screen, and letting go, is going to land you on the app switcher. Also, triple tap of your side button is going to be your accessibility toggle for turning voiceover off and back on. Holding the side button and the volume down buttons at the same time will take you to the power menu. Holding down the side button alone, activates Siri.

With VoiceOver turned on, I position my index finger at the very bottom left of the touch screen.  Then, I slowly slide that finger straight up.  You will hear two clicks.  After that second click is when you lift your finger.  The phone will be on the home screen.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the 
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the 
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles 
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; 
blindness is not what holds you back.
