One more point about braille input. The built-in system on iOS, braille screen input (BSI), has a tabletop mode where you can type with your fingers spread out on the screen. On the 4, 5, and 5S sizes, this mode forces your fingers into a sort of v shape which is doable but uncomfortable. On the 6 it's better, but still not great. On the Plus and iPad screens, your fingers can be much more normally spread out, making typing far more comfortable and efficient. I've done this on an iPad, not a Plus, but the experience will be similar. The Plus is the only kind of iPhone with the screen real estate to handle this.
A larger screen also gives you more room for maps, web content, items in lists, icons, zoom (if you have low vision), and so on. As a VoiceOver user this may not matter, but if you use touch exploration a lot, it may help more than you think. Plus, the larger iPhone can handle landscape mode for apps, letting them display content similar to an iPad. For example, Mail can have messages on the left and the selected message on the right in landscape mode, making it possibly more efficient in that way. Not all apps support this, but many do, and any can if the developer wants to. > On Sep 15, 2015, at 23:51, Jonathan Mosen <[email protected]> wrote: > > Absolutely.
