I have a question regarding the use of iPhones for partially disabled persons. Are they able to provide good features for the disabled persons.
As a Disability Service Provider in Melbourne, we are curious to know about it.
Suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance!

Hello ~ Yes. Apple devices are full of Accessibility features. Take a look below by clicking on…

How to contact Apple for accessibility support - Apple Support
The links above may prove helpful to you and click on each to review the instructions contained there. Apple is very concerned about those with accessibility issues. I myself have issues and avail myself to many of the features explained in the links.

Apple iphones are terrible for my sister who has multiple sclerosis. MS affects both her finger coordination, and her eyesight, and one of the most difficult things is answering a simple phone call. She has difficulty touching the screen to turn on the speaker for a phone call. I can hear her tapping and tapping, and she can't get the speaker to come on. Anything that involves dragging up or down for accessing controls is impossible. Scrolling is terribly difficult. And if the action requires sliding a lever across the screen, like adjusting volume, or brightness, or turning the phone off, it is impossible for her fingers to maneuver that action Plus, she has some mild congitive changes, and all of the steps that we take for granted when doing something like attaching a photo to send in a text message or email, are way too complicated now. I wish Apple made a simpler iphone because the one feature she really uses a lot is Siri, who comes to the rescue often. She has always had iphones, but now with so many headlines and using "cool" font choices in shades of gray, she finds them very difficult to read. She is 78. And the icons are tiny. Yes, I know there are ways to enlarge everything, and change colors..... but it involves a lot of time to fully customize a phone for every purpose, and it is hard to find helpers where she lives who know how to do that. I wish it weren't true for her, but that is the way it is. Iphones aren't that friendly for older seniors, or the disabled person, in my opinion. Of course it depends on the severity of the physical limitations, as well as the cognitive problems.
Yes, iPhones are very easy to use and have a ton of accessibly features. Apple Watch is very helpful for disabled people too to track their health, Can even tell you if you have a bad medical condition or Afib
Is iPhone 14 a Good choice for disabled person?
