Hi Robin,
I wasn't aware he'd done such a podcast, or I would have listened to
it. His podcasts are very good. As for how predictive my
experience is, I can't say. But even if my experience is not
typical, I would recommend that blind users upgrading have sighted
assistance handy, just in case.
Cheers,
Donna

>> Hi all,

>> For those of you still on the fence, I thought I'd post my
experience thus far.
>>
>> I finally have my iPhone X activated, but it has been one of the
worst upgrade processes I've ever been through. There were several issues.
>>
>> First, every time the screen dimmed--which, given that this was
a new phone was approximately every minute--when I pressed the
power button I was taken to a screen where my only option was to
click on phone info. The only way out of this screen was to invoke
a force shut, reset the phone and start over. I probably went
through that process five times before all was said and
done. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mark for posting the
article about how to do that. Without that information, I would
have had to give up and go to the Verizon store.
>>
>> Second, I had to upgrade to IOS 11.02. This presented two
problems. First, given the issue I describe above, this meant I
had to sit with my phone in my hand, and make sure the screen never
dimmed, because if it did, the upgrade stopped. Then, once I
finally got to the "Preparing Update" message, the phone was stuck
there for a good 20 minutes. I actually had to go through this
process twice to get to the point where the update was installed.
>>
>> Then, once that was done, I was unable to unlock the phone
without sighted assistance, because I kept being taken to a screen
similar to that described in the first paragraph. There was a
swipe to unlock button, but I was unable to activate it with
Voiceover. The only way to unlock the phone was to have my husband
come and swipe the unlock button. I had planned to hold off on
setting up Face ID till later today, but ended up doing it, just
because that seems like the only way I can unlock my
phone. Setting up Face ID was not too bad. There was some trial
and error, it probably took me three attempts or so to get it set
up. But now that it is, it is working fine.
>>
>> I know that some others' experiences have not been this
awful. I wonder if any of what I experienced is carrier
specific. I'm with Verizon, so other VZ users might want to have
all this in mind. I really haven't even used the phone yet. But I
would say this. If you upgrade, make sure you have sighted
assistance available, either via a friend or family member, or by
store personnel.
>> Best,
>> Donna
