Hi, the iPhone’s IOS is a more intuitive platform to learn how to use. Voice Over is quite accessible, but SIRI is getting dumber by the minute.
An Echo or Google Home would be great devices, as they can be quite informative and functional throughout the day.
And having a hand held recorder can be quite useful to take audio notes.

yeah for sure. she has. recorder abd she even has the orcam but when it comes do her phone and texting an calling she has the absolute worst time with her iphone. idk if maybe it’s because it’s a very old model. google home understands her better but it’s not available to take calls in my country yet

The iPhone screen reader still has the edge on android.
The biggest difference is in apps that are accessible. The iPhone is a long way in front on this.
I own both and and up using the iPhone more

Apple has better screen readers overall, but Android is catching up.

I personally prefer iPhone. I have the XS max I think. Apple is releasing a dark mode in the next update which is what I need the most. I don’t know much about the Samsung accessibility options so I may be a little biased..
The iPhone was easy for me to set up on my own, which is important to me personally, however it’s kind of annoying that you have to touch the options Siri gives you when you ask a question.
