Re: unlocking with a braille display, was RE: braille displays
I stand corrected. My understanding of the question was faulty. No braille display can cause the iPhone to power up the screen, I.E. cause the power or home button to activate whilst the display is locked / shut down.

Turn on the braille display of your choice. 3. Wait a few extra seconds, say 10. 4. Press the home key on your device. 5. Wait again until you hear the display and the device connect. 6. Press spacebar plus dots 1,4 and your device will unlock. If you have a pin code to unlock your device, you can then enter it; otherwise it will simply unlock. Personally, I’ve done this with the Refreshabraille 18 and an iPod Touch 5th gen, the BrailleSense Plus and an iPhone 5 and with the Braille Edge and both devices, as well as the Focus 14 and the iPhone 5. However, if I am going to press the home key to wake up the device part way, I am going to just reach up and double tap to unlock it. But the original question was simply, can I unlock the device with my braille display? Just because something can be done doesn’t mean it should.

Very good point. One persons fluff may be someone else's preferred feature. Thanks for pointing that out. I ought to have thought of that myself. O well.
