[NJTechDiv] Getting Voiceover while setting up a new iPhone

[Serena Cucco]

Hi all,

When I get a new phone, I let the really nice tech geniuses at my local
Verizon store put all my apps on to my new phone from my old phone/iCloud,
so they simply turn on VoiceOver for me.  I don't even have to ask them!
