With today being World Accessibility Awareness Day, Apple has published a pair of videos highlighting two of the business accessibility features. Apple music music is a feature that has been deployed in iOS 18 and this allows everyone to appreciate listening to music, whether you have a perfect hearing, whether you are misunderstandable or you are deaf, musical haptics allow you to feel all the vibrations of music playing on your iPhone.
In the video promoting Music Haptics, rapper Kenneth “Kiddo K” Alexander explains how serious ear infections after the Hurricane Katrina resulted in his hearing loss, leaving the Alexander born in Louisiana. His song “Platoon” is presented on the video and was withdrawn from his EP which has just released “Warzone” which was published last Tuesday. Alexander says: “If you are deaf or missed, don’t let this prevent you from enjoying music. Music does not concern listening. It is a question of feeling it.”
The second video previews a new accessibility functionality to come IOS 19 and macOS 16 this year, magnificent for Mac. In the video, a woman with low vision problems called Sophie attends a class. She opens her MacBook and ties her iPhone at the top of the Mac using the continuity camera function that transforms an iPhone into a webcam. Using AI, she is able to use her Mac to take notes during the conference, and her Mac is capable of capturing a black panel full of important information that she must learn. By customizing controls such as brightness, contrast and application of color filters, it is able to make the material written on the blackboard easier to read.
When the teacher has finished speaking, she asks for the course if someone has a strong opinion on the subject. Sophie raises her hand, and at the end of the video, we can assume that she impressed her teacher by making brilliant comments on the lesson. “Bring what is important,” said Apple, “magnifying Mac.”
