What is the Accessibility feature on most Apple products?

Apple prides itself in the accessibility feature which is meant to be used as an inclusive
addition to their products.

Aids the young, old, people new to technology, those with special needs and disabilities.
Attributes intended to help those with visual, physical, and auditory impairments, learning
challenges.

Mostly all the features can be found in the settings or are included in the phone already.
Siri and FaceTime are included in the phone already, one as a digital assistant as it’s a voice
control that can talk back to you. And the other, FaceTime, is a video and audio calling service.

All of these that are presented are available through SETTINGS then ACCESSIBILITY.

Two tricks to use to magnify either your screen or something not on the phone:

To Magnify something (like a physical Newspaper): Use the


built in Camera & Zoom in! **Can also go into settings, then accessibility,
