I created an enhanced multilingual T9 keyboard[1][2] for iOS in 2014 to play around with Swift. It's been doing 600$ on average since then, still going strong. Still use it everyday myself and can't live without it

Thank you for this. My dad has poor vision and clings to his failing t9 flip phone. He likes the flexibility of the iPhone but is concerned about the keyboard, it seems like this might be the solution he’s looking for


Interesting! I hope it can work out well for him - would love to hear about his experience if he gives it a shot. I've gotten good feedback from low vision and blind users, but I've also done my best trying to support VoiceOver in the most optimal way. If he uses VoiceOver, be sure to enable "Direct Touch Typing" in VoiceOver>Typing>Typing Style. Also be sure to go through the tutorials as that should give him the best start.
