Apple releases new features across its devices all the time, but its accessibility settings are particularly important. The tech giant has announced a suite of new software to help users with disabilities on their Apple devices in honour of Global Accessibility Awareness Day.
There’s also a range of new inclusive designs coming to Apple Watch in celebration of Pride month.
Here’s everything that’s been announced.
Assistive touch
AssistiveTouch is a new accessibility feature coming to the Apple Watch, aiming to help those with upper limb differences.
AssistiveTouch will essentially allow touchless access to the Apple Watch. The software uses the in-built gyroscope, accelerometer, heart rate sensor and machine learning to detect subtle differences in muscle and tendon movement. Movements like a pinch or clench and a series of hand gestures allow users to navigate their Apple Watch display without touching the controls.
