Richard and all what things do you recommend people turn on or off to get the best battery life? From: 'Richard Turner' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Saturday, March 1, 2025 11:48 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Just purchased the 16E Hi Shirley, Here is a link to an MP3 recording I made to help with the new gestures for getting to the home button, app switcher, notification center and control center. Below that is some text from my sheet of VoiceOver gestures that is organized differently than the one on Apple's site. That word document is on my web site. Audio file for gestures without a home button <https://www.turner42.com/GesturesWithNoHomeButton.mp3>
Gestures For devices without a home button: Side button replacing Home button commands • Unlock Phone: Facial Recognition, or tap the Side button and enter your passcode • Accessibility Shortcut: Triple click of the Side button • Screenshot: Simultaneously press and quickly release the Side button and Volume Up button. Caution: if you hold the volume up and side power button too long, you will activate the Emergency SOS and end up calling 911. • Activate Siri: Press and hold the Side button • Reboot the iPhone: Press and release the volume up button, then the volume down button, then hold in the side/power button for about 10 seconds or until the Apple comes back and gradually fills in the image. • Power off the iPhone: preferred method, Open settings, general, and at the bottom double tap on shut down. You can also ask Siri to shut down, Siri will likely ask you to confirm you want to power off, say yes and it is done. You can also open General Settings, then do a four finger tap at the bottom of the screen and land on the shut down icon and double tap. • Trickier method, by pressing and holding the side button and volume down button at the same time until the Emergency SOS screen appears. This menu also includes the power off slider, to shut down swipe left until you get to the "slide to power off" icon and double tap with one finger. Be aware, if you hold those two buttons in too long, it will begin a countdown before calling Emergency Services and your emergency contacts unless you release the buttons or double tap cancel quickly enough if you are not needing the emergency services. For a complete explanation of the Emergency SOS settings, see: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208076 • Activate Apple Pay: Double click the Side button New Gestures replacing function of the Home button Starting at the bottom of the screen and slide one finger up. You will feel three haptic vibrations referred to as "clicks" (similar to the old "click" when pressing the Home button). Each of these three clicks will activate a function. Note: The first click alerts you that you are in the feature. • Return to the Home screen: From the bottom of the screen slide one finger up until the second click. Lift your finger from the screen. • Activate the App Switcher: From the bottom of the screen, slide one finger up until the third click. Lift your finger from the screen. • Activate Reachability mode (if enabled in Settings): From the bottom of the screen, slide one finger up until you feel the first click. Quickly flick down. Notification and Control Center Starting at the top of the screen, slide one finger down to feel the clicks. • Access the Control Center: From the top of the screen, slide one finger down until the second click. Lift your finger from the screen. • Access the Notification Center: From the top of the screen, slide one finger down until the third click. Lift your finger from the screen. Other settings Raise to Wake, under Settings, Display and Brightness, defaults to on. If you find that your phone is constantly trying to “wake” up or unlock, and perhaps the battery is not giving you the time you thought it should, try turning that feature off. If you use VoiceOver, and it is constantly saying the time whenever you move the iPhone, you probably have raise to wake on and each time the phone moves, it is trying to wake up. People who carry their phone in a bag or a purse may find it is constantly waking up from the movement of the bag/purse. There is also a feature called Tap to Wake, under Settings, Accessibility, Touch, that allows you to wake up the phone by tapping in the middle of the screen with one finger. If you turn off the Raise To Wake feature, you may find this one very helpful. You can move your phone without it trying to wake up, and when you want to wake it up, tap on the middle of the screen, then do the slide gesture from the bottom to finish unlocking it. If you use Face ID, you will find that if you also turn off, Require Attention for Face ID under Settings, Accessibility, Face ID and Attention, that just having the phone facing you when you do the unlock gesture you will almost never have to enter your passcode. Turning off Requires attention is particularly useful for VoiceOver users because you don’t have to get your face into the exact position it was when you set it up.

I had to get rid of it for something else. Now, I almost wish I had it back. But in reality, I believe the 16E is going to be great. The only trouble is that I don't know how to use it. Is there any document or list of gestures and whatever you need to adapt to the changes. I have always had a home button. Help! How are you all learning? I don't know where to look. It may clarify things for you if I explain that I bought mine at a Verizon store, and although they transferred everything they could from my old phone to the new one, they had no knowledge of accessibility features or how to use them. They were so new with this version (16E) that they first tried to insist the phone DID have a button. Then they discovered it did not. The rep helping me didn't know how to use any of the buttons on the sides of the phone. In all fairness, this was on Friday, and their shipment had just come in on Thursday. Why didn't I go to the Apple store? Because I live too far to get transportation. I just need some tips on setting it up better and using it without a button. Thank you for any help.
