The first accessibility tool we will look at is the VoiceOver
feature found in the Vision group.

vision. It will read aloud whatever is on the iPhone's screen!
Once activated, simply tap what you would like to have read and
the phone will read the text to you.

motor skills, the Voice Control feature allows

further enhance the amount of control you

is here to help you. A plentitude of options exist in this

accessory, the ability to adjust how the screen will
respond to touch, and a reachability option. You are

most beneficial!

hearing, the iPhone XR is made to be easily
