Either I'm not blind or I'm not using a phone, because I have an android. With pass phrase, thank you very much.

Both IPhone and Android have screen readers, with Android having the ability for alternative sr-s and voices. The Iphone is more integrated as far as I know, but the default google apps are pretty accessible on Android as well. There is a mailing list for blind android users if you want more advice, but if your grandfather is used to the Iphone, there is no reason not to use it. The default apple recourse on the topic is applevis, if I remember correctly.

"Every blind person this person has helped uses an iPhone" doesn't imply "every blind person uses an iPhone."
you are right. the sr pronounced "used" as "use" and I've took it for more generalizating statement than it was. Still, the idea of removing security because people are presumed unable to enter their passwords or because it would make it more convenient for someone else triggered me badly.
