Hi, for me, Zoom is *essential* for me to be able to see Status bar messages, and lock screen notifications (such as push). I really can't tell how IOS 7 would be any harder than 6, unless her vision is a little better than mine. The only things I don't use zoom in are Calendar, Mail, Notes, and Messages, and Contacts, since these are adjustable to 56 pt. in General>accessibility>Use large Text. Oh, and also in Safari, as MOST, but not all, pages can be gesture zoomed (stretched). Zoom's cumbersome a bit, but once you get used to it, it's beautiful. Works well in conduction to voiceover too.
