Overview
- Apple, which outlined the changes Tuesday, is weaving its Apple Intelligence models into VoiceOver, Magnifier, Voice Control, and Accessibility Reader with most features arriving later this year.
- VoiceOver adds Image Explorer for richer image descriptions and expands Live Recognition so users can press the iPhone Action button to ask what the camera sees and follow up with natural‑language questions.
- Voice Control will accept conversational commands like “tap the purple folder,” and Accessibility Reader will handle complex layouts with on‑demand summaries and built‑in translation that preserves fonts and colors.
- Generated subtitles will transcribe speech on uncaptioned videos across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Vision Pro using on‑device processing, launching first in English in the U.S. and Canada.
- Apple Vision Pro will let users steer compatible power wheelchairs with eye tracking, starting in the U.S. with Tolt and LUCI drive systems over Bluetooth or a wired link.
