Sticking with Apple: Why iPhone Works for Me

As a blind user, I've had the opportunity to experience the best of both worlds – Android and iOS. However, my journey with smartphones began with the iPhone, and it's been a game-changer for me. In this post I'll share my reasons for sticking with Apple, despite the occasional criticism from Android enthusiasts.

In India, owning an iPhone often comes with a certain prestige, and for many, it's a status symbol that makes a statement. People splurge on luxury brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton to showcase their style, and similarly, iPhones are often seen as a symbol of success. But for me, the iPhone is more than just a status symbol – it's a vital tool that empowers me to live independently despite my disability. When considering my next upgrade, it's not about showing off the latest model; it's about ensuring that the device continues to meet my needs and provide the freedom I rely on. Breaking the bank for an iPhone isn't just a purchase – it's an investment in my independence.

One of the primary reasons I fell in love with the iPhone was its out-of-the-box accessibility features. As a blind user, I was amazed by the seamless integration of VoiceOver, which allowed me to navigate and use the phone with ease. The gestures were intuitive, and I quickly became proficient in using the phone.

The iOS operating system is renowned for its simplicity and user-friendliness. As a blind user, I appreciate the consistency and predictability of the interface. The phone's ease of use allowed me to focus on exploring its capabilities, rather than struggling with complicated menus and settings.

The iPhone's gesture-based navigation system is incredibly powerful. With VoiceOver, I can effortlessly navigate through apps, menus, and settings using simple gestures. It's amazing how quickly I became accustomed to using the phone, and soon I was using it like a pro.

One of the features that has taken my iPhone experience to new heights is the Shortcuts app. With Shortcuts, I can create custom automations that simplify my daily tasks and workflows. From sending messages to performing complex actions, Shortcuts has empowered me to do more with my phone.

So, why do I continue to use an iPhone, despite the criticisms and alternatives? For me, it's about the overall experience. The iPhone's accessibility features, ease of use, and seamless integration with other Apple devices make it an indispensable tool in my daily life. While Android phones have their strengths, I haven't felt the need to switch, given the iPhone's reliability and performance.

In conclusion, my iPhone journey has been a resounding success. The phone has empowered me to do more, connect with others, and live independently. While there may be valid criticisms of the iPhone, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. As I continue to explore new features and capabilities, I'm excited to see what the future holds for iPhone and accessibility.

Mind you, if push comes to shove I will switch to an android device. I am not the kind that is brand loyal. I look for my needs.
