HIGHLIGHTS
Apple is enhancing accessibility with an exciting array of features slated for release later this year across its devices including the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro headset. These enhancements are tailored to assist users with vision, hearing, and learning challenges, aiming to forge a more inclusive environment for all Apple device users.
“At Apple, accessibility is part of our DNA,” expressed Apple CEO Tim Cook. “Creating technology that is accessible to everyone is a commitment that everyone in our company shares, and we’re thrilled to present the innovations we’re rolling out this year. These tools are designed to help individuals gain access to vital information, explore their surroundings, and pursue their passions.”
Here’s a glimpse into the exciting features coming your way.
The new Accessibility Nutrition Labels section on App Store product pages will inform users about app compatibility with essential accessibility features like VoiceOver, Voice Control, larger text options, and captions. This initiative allows users to ascertain if an app is compatible with their specific accessibility requirements before hitting the download button.

Exciting news for Mac users as the popular Magnifier app, which is already a hit on iPhone and iPad, is making its way to the Mac platform. This innovative app connects with the user’s camera to enable zoom functionalities, allowing users to magnify objects in their environment such as screens or whiteboards. According to Apple, “Magnifier synchronizes with the Continuity Camera on iPhone and works seamlessly with attached USB cameras. It also supports document reading with its Desk View feature.” Moreover, users can customize their viewing experience by adjusting brightness, contrast, and color filters.
Another significant advancement is the introduction of Braille Access, which transforms iPhones, iPads, Mac devices, and Apple Vision Pro into comprehensive braille note-takers, offering unprecedented accessibility for users relying on this method of communication.
A revolutionary Accessibility Reader is now set to be launched across Apple devices, primarily beneficial for users experiencing low vision or dyslexia. This reader is designed to ease the reading process, ensuring that crucial content is readily accessible.
The Apple Watch will be equipped with a new suite of accessibility features aimed at assisting users who are deaf or hard of hearing. Features will include Live Listen controls and real-time Live Captions. Live Listen transforms the iPhone into a remote microphone, streaming audio directly to AirPods, Made for iPhone hearing aids, or Beats headphones. While an active session is running on the iPhone, users will then be able to see Live Captions of the audio picked up by their iPhone on the connected Apple Watch, allowing an enriched listening experience.

The Apple Vision Pro will see significant updates as well, particularly regarding Zoom and VoiceOver functionalities. New Zoom enhancements will permit users to magnify everything visible with the main camera. Furthermore, for VoiceOver users, Live Recognition will employ on-device machine learning to provide descriptions of the environment, identify objects, read documents, and much more in visionOS.
