Yes, I’m totally blind. Voice Over turned on immediately as soon as I did the rapid triple press on the side button. And then the Apple technician’s assistance since I called their Accessibility line, was able to see the screen on the 10 because I did screen sharing on the IPhone 6.
technically, I should have been able to place the older 6 next to the new 10 to just transfer my information/settings, but when I got to that screen I was only able to tap the setup manually button. The button for automatic setup did not show. This might have made the process faster, but at least its done and it went through pretty smoothly.

I did call Apple Accessibility to ask for assistance since I wanted to be sure everything went smoothly. The tech person did a screen sharing session with me on my IPhone 6 since the new phone wasn’t set up screen sharing could not be done on the X directly. We did the screen sharing and he had me launch the camera so in turn I held the 6 above the 10 and he was able to view the screen on the new 10. For the most part, it worked out very well. The thing I found most frustrating is that the X would lock in a very short time and it kept requiring reentry of my pass code numerous times. I found this added unnecessarily to the time it took to set up the phone. When the phone was finally up and running and I checked out settings, I found it was set to lock after only 30 seconds. During setup I also skipped the facial recognition. I need to go to an Apple store later in the week since I’ll need a new outerbox and screen protector so I think I’ll ask for assistance then in setting up the facial recognition. So far the phone seems lovely and its a matter of getting use to new ways of unlocking, going to the home screen and the app switcher which don’t seem difficult at all. I am finding right now the phone is very fast and very responsive. I’m sure I’ll find other things where I’ll need to alter how I do things but as of now I am very happy with what I’m experiencing with this phone.
