Hi Steve,

my wife has very bad eye sight (she is registered blind). She’s not completely in the dark but she struggles with small text.

She can with most of the text on an iPhone, but not the text in the SMS text bubble. As far as I know there’s no way to change the font size of the SMS message, although you can change it for email.

I know she could use voiceover, but she thinks it would be embarrassing to have her messages read to her, she tried the zoom function but couldn’t get on with it on the phone (it works fine on the iMac).

This is the one thing stopping he buying an iPhone,is it likely that future versions of the iPhone OS will allow the text size for SMS to be increased?

All the best,

Mark Ford

Yes, that exact feature is coming in iPhone OS 4 software this summer!
