Help the author of iOS Personal Power help the blind community

Michael Feir is someone who provides a lot of assistance to others while asking nothing in return.

He has now published two editions of an incredibly detailed resource, “Personal Power”. This teaches blind people how to use an iPhone, starting with getting it set up and then moving on to learning the gestures, working with the built-in apps, finding accessible third-party apps and a guide to other resources.

Michael gives this large, detailed book away in a variety of formats. He has never charged for it, nor does he seek donations to support his work, even though each edition takes him years of careful research, writing and editing.

Michael is now working on the third edition of his book, which we recently discussed briefly on my podcast, Living Blindfully. During that discussion, he mentioned that he will be covering Apple Intelligence, a significant new feature in iOS 18 that requires a newer iPhone. In passing, he mentioned that he would not be able to write about it from direct experience, because he is not in a position to purchase a new iPhone at the moment. He didn’t make this point in a way that sought assistance or donations, but I would like to help to get him an iPhone 16 Pro.

This is a sound investment in a treasured, useful resource. Please give what you can so I can purchase an iPhone 16 Pro for Michael. Many blind people will benefit from the knowledge he will acquire and so selflessly shares with all of us.
