I would really be interested to know ho wmany blind people really are unable as in incapable to look at the phone. I guess we'll hear how this works in the real world starting in November when these phones are going to be in the hands of people like Jonathan Mosen, other Podcasters and of course also some of the people on this list.

But it seems like a fair amount of the nice functionality is gone and the security is Les. How much less? That alone would make me not want this phone at this time. Maybe they will solve this problem and future. I hope so. I would hate to think we are stuck with a less functional less secure means of unlocking The phone, with the only alternative being the clunky inefficient passcode method. I wish they had put touch ID into the side button of this new phone. Maybe they will do that in the future, although I doubt it. Of course a sensor on the side isn't as convenient as a sensor on the front. But it beats sacrificing some functionality because you can't look at the phone.
