Good thing lists like this exist! If I would have read this article in June/July of 2012 when I was about to have my first IPhone (which I still have) a 3GS, I would have thought twice before getting it!

Possibly, and I agree that the iPhone isn't for everyone. Some are better off 
with Android, some with a Haven. My point is that what he calls downsides are 
sometimes easily overcome (Fleksy and Braille integration in iOS8) and 
sometimes totally wrong (answering/hanging up is a two-finger double tap, but 
he made it sound horribly difficult).

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.

Hi

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.
