I most definitely agree with that, Christopher. I am totally blind and was 82, when I got my phone without a home button, had not the first problem at all. I studied what Rita Howels posted on another list, just read over and over it, and it penetrated my brain. My husband was astonished. I really would not want another phone with a home button now.

I was in the waiting room while my wife was having a medical procedure done, and I was constantly going back and forth between my person iPhone 11 and my employer's iPhone 7, and I realized that all things being equal, I definitely prefer a phone without a home button. Note that having a home button wouldn't be a deal breaker with me, I just found it so much easier finding things in my dock or up in the status bar without having to worry about that space you lose with the home button. Plus I think it makes braille screen input a lot easier as well. If people have experience with both, and prefer a phone with a home button, then that's great, but if you're skeptical about getting a phone without a home button then I'd really suggest you give it a go before deciding that you prefer a phone with a home button. That's just my $0.02. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Simon A Fogarty Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2021 4:27 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Getting a new phone and asking questions Hi, The 12 is bigger than the se and the 7, The 12 range and the 13 range don't have home buttons but you can set the power button to switch voiceover off / on, But is your SE one of the original from about 5 years ago or is it the SE 2020 which does have a home button and would be pretty much identical to the iPHone 7 And work as you would know your current phone does. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Lelia Struve Sent: Wednesday, 15 December 2021 9:09 am To: Viphone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Getting a new phone and asking questions Hi all, so right now I have an iPhone S E and the battery is crappy. I called verizon and told them what "i wanted and they suggested an iPhone 12. Here is what I want. I want an iPhone with a home button and a better battery than the S E. If I can't have a home button here is my question. My first question is the 12 the same size as either the 7 or the S E. Second, if I don't have a home button how do I turn voice over on and off? I know I can use seri but is there another way to turn voice over on and offf. thanks in advance for any help.Lelia Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
