I've heard from several blind people who got an iPhone because they were
told it was their only accessible cell phone option or that it was so
easy to use for a blind person. I've also seen people on lists like this
saying that any blind person who wants a cell phone should just get an
iPhone and not bother with the few accessible feature phones that are
out there. I think there's definitely a pervasive attitude out there
that the iPhone is the way to go if you're blind and want a cell phone,
even if you're not going to use the smart phone features. I don't know
why Curtis Chong wrote this article, but I suspect it was this pervasive
opinion that he was specifically addressing.

Some sighted buy it because it looks so cool, some will buy it because
its Apple. Many blind will buy because they have heard it is accessible.
