Re: Select drop-downs in VoiceOver on iPhone

To elaborate on the first response, there is a picker item in the lower half of the screen. It is a bit confusing because the top half of the screen has has the drop down menu item but it does not respond to any gestures, and the picker item is after the done button in swipe order. It would be less confusing if focus moved down if you activate the menu.
