What do you find anti accessible about the apple peripherals? I’ve also had some experience using VoiceOver and found it acceptable.

I have a friend who is legally blind. Her husband and kid use iPhones and iPads, and she has an iPad, but for her phone she prefers Android.

It’s very confusing to me because of all I’ve read about Apple accessibility but she says she finds Android much easier to use!
