Vlingo works on an Iphone. I haven't paid for the SMS & Email version ($6.99) I've used the free version though.
I have a Blueant hands-free unit that clips to my visor. It works really well. Don't need to touch the phone or the Blueant at all to make or receive calls.
I tried the in the ear bluetooth (cockroach) but never liked it. This one makes it easier for my wife to add her opinion from the passenger seat as well.

I have a lifelong habit of putting my hand to my ear to pretend I'm on the phone when meeting any vehicle which could be a cop in case they are looking for seatbelts.

We have a guy that works for us that has a distracted driving charge. Our insurance will not insure him to drive our equipment. They see it as bad as a dui

OK so I guess they are still doing it. It sure doesn't seem to be working. Just drive down the Henday in Edmonton, 50% of people are on their phones while they're driving

It's better to congregate at a church that is disobeying covid restrictions or wave pride flags in a parade, or go protect drag shows. The cops could cleaning up big time, like you said, just pull up to any traffic light and look around, it's constant.
