Innovative features like Door Detection, Voice Control, Sound Recognition, AssistiveTouch, and Magnifier are more than just ‘cool tech features’; these options are life-changing for people with disabilities. Apple’s deeply moving accessibility video, The Greatest, showcases how these features are impacting lives.
Scenes from the video include people with vision, hearing, mobility and cognitive disabilities who are triumphantly using Apple devices to enhance their lives. Scenes in the video include:
- A blind musician using audio descriptions to locate his jacket in a dressing room and using Door Detection to locate the stage door.
- A deaf mother using Sound Detection to hear her crying baby.
- A quadriplegic man uses his voice to take pictures and uses facial expressions to edit those pictures.
- A student using read aloud in the classroom.
- A woman without arms using Siri paired with home kit to control her blinds and using Assistive Touch to operate her iPhone.
