I have sighted work colleagues coming to me to ask how to do things on both phones tablets and computers and that includes our Mac support speciallists But then I also have clients that question how I work if I can’t see a screen or a keyboard. I’ve started telling people that I use osmosus

I too set up my iPhone X with no sighted assistance what so ever. Could it be that some stupid individual or individuals out there are trying to make us blind people think that a blind person cannot set up an iPhone X? Dare I speculate that some blind people are trying to make the rest of us blind people think we cannot set up an iPhone X without the assistance of the all mighty sighted? Well, all I have to say about that is BS!!!

On YourPurchase of Apple's iPhoneX Enjoy YourSelf & Your iPhoneX At 06:23 PM 12/3/2017, you wrote: Hi All, I got my IPhone X this past Thursday and decided to do the set up today since I had a block of time to work on it. I did call Apple Accessibility to ask for assistance since I wanted to be sure everything went smoothly. The tech person did a screen sharing session with me on my IPhone 6 since the new phone wasn’t set up screen sharing could not be done on the X directly. We did the screen sharing and he had me launch the camera so in turn I held the 6 above the 10 and he was able to view the screen on the new 10. For the most part, it worked out very well. The thing I found most frustrating is that the X would lock in a very short time and it kept requiring reentry of my pass code numerous times. I found this added unnecessarily to the time it took to set up the phone. When the phone was finally up and running and I checked out settings, I found it was set to lock after only 30 seconds. During setup I also skipped the facial recognition. I need to go to an Apple store later in the week since I’ll need a new outerbox and screen protector so I think I’ll ask for assistance then in setting up the facial recognition. So far the phone seems lovely and its a matter of getting use to new ways of unlocking, going to the home screen and the app switcher which don’t seem difficult at all. I am finding right now the phone is very fast and very responsive. I’m sure I’ll find other things where I’ll need to alter how I do things but as of now I am very happy with what I’m experiencing with this phone.
