This may seem self-evident to some, but I am not a first adopter and not a 
confident tech person.

Before my IPad got updated to the newest OS release, the wallpaper had shown a 
field of stars.  The new OS apparently didn't offer this choice, so, in an 
excellent example of learned helplessness, I asked the store rep to change the 
wallpaper for me to what would be the closest to the field of stars.  After 
all, in other mainstream applications, I couldn't make such adjustments.

When I got home, I opened the IPad settings and found wallpaper and opened it, 
just to see what would happen.  I was one of the most surprised and delighted 
blind users in the universe to find that the wallpaper views were described.

I took the chance and selected the view of earth from space myself, and 
returned to the home screen.  My sighted daughter confirmed that I had indeed 
selected this view as my home screen wallpaper.  My daughter sounded surprised 
and delighted that I could accomplish something she and I both had previously 
considered the province of the fully sighted.

Thank you, whoever you are, with Apple's structure and development teams, for 
discernment and vision in your ideas of what blind users can or should be able 
to do.


Regards,
Cheree Heppe
