Well, in terms of assistive technology, the iPhone is pretty much identical to the iPad.  You can run KNFB Reader on either, although the iPhone would be more convenient to use, easier to hold above documents to take picture.

For a blind person using VoiceOver, the iPad is extra weight and real estate we don't need.

If they buy one, they should buy the other.  Yes, it can be used as a phone, but they don't have to pay for phone service.  And with iOS 8 and wifi calling, the distinctions are starting to blur.

        Hello Folks;
I hope you don't mind but I need help. Could I get some input on how the I phone could be classified as assisted technology. I'm seeking assistance from my VR agency here in Georgia. They will get the Ipad but not the phone.I will be starting work in the mental health center in my town soon as a team leader. I think the phone is better since it will support the KNFB-reader. 
Sorry for posting here but you folks are the experts so could you give me
some pointers.     

Peace Stancil Tootle
