I often have to help a family member who is blind. Trying to use a phone with Voiceover or Talkback is the most horrific experience. Each button or key press takes 3 time-sensitive taps, while it speaks the contents of that button/key in a robotic voice.
I say this as a sighted person, but is this really the best we can do? If you're blind I can imagine how important it is that it works at all, but it still sucks.
Annoyingly, what my family member really needs for their use case is an old-style phone with tactile keyboard - if it weren't for the fact that they also need to voice dial, hear who's calling, and hear incoming texts.
