Got a new iPad Pro for Christmas. No home button. How do I enable Voiceover right away, before starting the setup? Thank you!

To enable VoiceOver during setup, press the Side button (iPhone X and later, iPad Pro models from 2018) or the Home button (earlier models) three times, then wait for the announcement that VoiceOver is on.

Hello,

Press the top button 3 times.
Please let me know if there's anything else you need help with.
Which ipad pro did you get?
Does it have cellular?

I got a new one, fifth generation, 12.9", WIFI only, from my son in law. He bought me my first Pro, a generation one, and I was still happy with it. Now I've got to try to get along with iOS 15.2, which I purposely had not upgraded to with my old Pro. It will be some time before I make a full transition.
