[Trainer-Talk] iPhone with no home button

[Brett Boyer]

I tried to explain it as if there was a button at the bottom that you have to press and slide it up at the same time. Sometimes, hearing the click and feeling the vibration without speech helps. So literally, keeping VoiceOver on and turning off speech and showing them the difference between The sounds of navigation versus the sound of the home button. This way they know what they're listening for. Once they can identify that sound, and that vibration, then we work on the pulling up of the button.
