Android, as of version 4.0, already includes a screen reader--Talk Back.
Prior to that, Talk Back and Spiel were available as free and open
source screen readers for Android.
I'd agree I'd go with a solution that has access already built in, as
long as it was affordable and met my needs. I'll never say never.

IMHO, Android won't be worth it unless the accessibility is built in for

If I didn't get the screen reader with the android phone for free and
had to pay for it, it would be a game changer. Those days of buying a
cell phone and then having to buy the accessibility are over for me.

Hello,
That is definitely not the case. Android is very accessible to
blind and low vision users. In my opinion, its a bit behind as far
as accessibility goes compared to IOS but, not by much. I would
even venture to say, they might even be on par in a year or so. I
do prefer IOS at this point though. From a blind perspective, its
just more refined.
JMO.
