Ahead of Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2025 on May 15, Apple has once more unveiled a slew of new features coming to iOS 19, macOS 16, and visionOS 3.
While Apple never reveals anything else about its next operating systems until each year’s WWDC, it now regularly makes an exception for accessibility options. As it did with eye tracking in iOS 18 to let users control their iPhones and Macs, it’s now bringing new accessibility features to all of its devices.
«At Apple, accessibility is part of our DNA», Tim Cook said in a statement. «Making technology for everyone is a priority for all of us, and we’re proud of the innovations we’re sharing this year.»
The new features include:
Magnifier for Mac
Braille Access
Accessibility Reader
Live captions on Apple Watch
Live Recognition in Apple Vision Pro
Magnifier has been an iOS Control Center tool for almost a decade, and now it’s coming to the Mac.
