Sieghard, I'd caution you against saying there will be no more iPhones with home buttons. The next generation SE expected later next spring has been rumored to still have a home button.
And I disagree with others that the new gesture to activate home and the app switcher on phones without a home button are as easy to use as a home button. They are certainly accessible and manageable but they aren't as easy or as fast as pressing a button. And on my iPhone 13 Mini, I find hearing that initial chirp starting the home gesture not nearly as obvious as pressing a button. So much so that I customized my gestures so I have a dedicated one for the app switcher and home. Different strokes for different folks.

This is most useful and yes, ideally I think they would prefer to have a home button as other models they have used have had this. Out of these three which has the home button please? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: 09 December 2021 14:54 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: re iphone advice please One non-Accessibility relared point, the SE has the same chip as the 11, so its hardware is over 1 year newer than the XR model. So for the long run, the SE has a chance of being supported longer; otherwise, accessibility is really the same in all iPhone models. The difference is, as Wayne pointed out, does the person require the home button?

Basically, do you want a home button or not. The SE 2020 has a home button, which many blind folk consider to be more accessible. However, the newer phones after the 10 series, though they don't have home buttons, they are just as accessible. Basically, you slide a finger up from the bottom or down from the top. Based on the vibrations you feel and noises you hear, you can access the home screen, app switcher, notification or control centers. I've been using this newer style since the XR. Though there was an initial adjustment period, it did not take me long to get the hang of the new way. Now, I pick up my 2020 SE for work and find myself wanting to use the same gestures on it that I use on my personal iPhone 11. One other thing; though the SE 2020 can do a lot, there may be some features of iOS that either don't work as well or at all on the SE which do work or are smoother on the phones without a home button.
