Hi, I’ll just chime in with one comment regarding cameras on iPhones as they relate to blind users. With the onset of AI as part of the iPhone experience, cameras may not be necessary for taking pictures per se for blind people, but the clarity and accuracy of the lens system, along with

Donna, It's cakked "opinion" not "statement of fact". :) I got clarification on the SE's camera. It does offer a front and rear facing camera. One advantage that Apple gave us some iOS versions back is that with the camera in video mode, one can start it rolling from locked screen in two

OK, but a better price is a good thing. And personally, I don’t care about the camera. For a sighted user who takes a lot of pictures, yes, that would be a downgrade, but not sure I would consider it a downgrade for a blind user. I have to say, I’m giving the SE some serious consideration.
