Apple has announced the launch of new accessibility features for all its major platforms, including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro. These updates will coincide with the release of iOS 19 and macOS 16, demonstrating Apple's ongoing commitment to "technology equality."

A standout feature this year is the introduction of "Accessibility Nutrition Labels" on the App Store. Similar to the previous "privacy labels," this feature allows users to easily identify whether an app supports accessibility functions before downloading. These functions include voice assistance, voice control, text enlargement, contrast optimization, reduced motion effects, and subtitle support.
