From the moment Steve Jobs announced it in 2007, anticipation for the first iPhone was off the charts. And when it shipped? Customers lined up around their local Apple stores; some arriving days before the phones could be bought. But the hype and hysteria left one group of cell phone users out – if you had a disability, the new hotness was just a cold, unresponsive rectangle of plastic and glass. This is the story of how that changed in June of 2009, and what it has meant to people who are blind, have a hearing disability, or experience motor delays. This is the story of iPhone accessibility.
