Apple has announced a set of new accessibility features powered by Apple Intelligence, expected to ship later this year as part of iOS 27. Key updates include enhanced VoiceOver image descriptions (e.g., reading bill details), Live Recognition with follow-up questions via iPhone camera, natural language voice commands across apps like Maps and Files, an improved Reader for complex documents supporting dyslexia and low vision, and AI-generated subtitles for uncaptioned videos across all Apple platforms. A standout addition lets Apple Vision Pro users control compatible wheelchairs using only their eyes, launching with Tolt and LUCI drive systems. Other updates include name recognition in 50 languages, large text support for tvOS, and better hearing aid handoff between devices.
