By default, the icons on the home screen of the iPhone are sized so as to be large enough to read while fitting as many icons as possible on the display. However, this may not be an ideal solution for the visually impaired. For this reason, the iPhone also includes an accessibility menu that allows you to change the size of the home screen icons by enabling the Zoom function.
