That would work in most cases. But what about the case where the text scrolls, such as a license agreement or ToS? If a line or paragraph happens to end just above the bottom of the field, there would be no hint that the text can be scrolled. Perhaps the read-only rendering should include a frame if, and only if, the text is longer than the field.

Connect the phone to a Wi-Fi network if it isn't already. 2. Navigate to System Settings > "Wi-Fi" > the chevron next to the current network. 3. Tap in the "IP address" field. What you see: 2. The field is grey. 3. The field is white. What you should see: Since the field is read-only, it should look exactly the same when it isn't focused as when it is. (The use of a read-only text field is a workaround for bug 1286282.)
