Wow, glad your setup went smoothly. Or at least pretty much smoothly, from your setup steps. However, a warning for any newcommers to the iPhone SE2020. If you start setup, turn on Voicer, it may not speak at all and you may have to get sighted help. Someone from the audiogames.net forum said thy had this issue, so just thought I'd bring it up, in case they werent on here.
