The phone also had 67 videos of child sex abuse on it, 53 of which were in the most serious category.
Some of the images were of babies thought to be newborns or only a few months old.
Kibblewhite admitted to possession of indecent images over a 10-year period.
After commenting that it seemed "incongruous" for Kibblewhite to be facing such charges, defence lawyer Andy Thomson said his client can "see some form of movement, no more than that."
"Sometimes there is a voice activation device on the phone that provides a narrative of what the moving images show," he added.
Analysis of the phone showed it was fitted with a device that allowed it access to parts of the dark web.
Kibblewhite wept as he was told by Sheriff Speir that he should "be prepared for a possible prison sentence."
But he added that he had "not yet come to a conclusive view" on the appropriate sentence due to the "unusual circumstances."
Kibblewhite's sentencing has been deferred to next month whilst background reports and risk assessment are carried out.
Sheriff Speir also asked the defence to provide medical evidence proving Kibblewhite's blindness, saying he wanted to be "quite satisfied" that his condition is genuine.
Kibblewhite had his bail continued.
