What’s Assistive Touch?

Assistive touch helps you to use a button without pushing the button physically. Well, a question will come to your mind if we can use the button physically and it’s created for that, so why we use Assistive Touch while we have the button physically.

The answer is this, assistive touch is for those people that, they didn’t use their iDevices is the right way, and they have problems with their buttons, so they aren’t able to use their buttons and they can replace it with assistive touch. because they are unable to repair it or fix it, yeah they can contact to the apple stores they may repair it for half of your device rate. If you don’t want to repair it, buy a new one or follow us to use assistive touch.
