Hi Guys.
I could not resist telling you guys this story told to me by a blind
friend of mine. He was laughing so much about this, that he just had
to call me up and tell me all about it. This will just go to show
you just how much we have come forward with accessibility, thanks to
Steve and all his folks.
This friend was having difficulty with his old phone, and he was
thinking about getting an iPhone. I think he eventually will when
his current contract runs out in a few months. He thought it was
time because he thought his current phone was dead. He asked the
salesman at Sprint to show him the new Siri iPhone. The man, with
all the confidence of someone who thought he knew what he was doing
blurted out: "I don't think it will work for a blind person. It's
got a flat screen."
After making this incredibly uninformed statement, he handed the
iPhone to my friend at his request. Luckily, he had some experience
with iPhones from his sighted iPhone using friends; he's never seen
mine. He said to the guy: "just let me show you something here."
Luckily they were so uninformed that they hadn't messed with the
defaults on the Siri iPhone. So, my friend pressed the home key
three times, and when it came up he said into it: "show me the
weather in Miami, Florida." It did, and VoiceOver started reading
it. The salesman, pretty much in shock, said: "I will never say a
thing like that again. That shows me."
Regards,
Gigi
