In this episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun break down Apple’s newly announced accessibility updates ahead of Global Accessibility Awareness Day. From accessibility “nutrition labels” on the App Store to a full-featured Braille note-taker built into iOS 19, the team highlights major leaps forward for blind and low-vision users.

They also explore the all-new magnifier app for Mac, updates to Apple Vision Pro’s accessibility capabilities including camera zoom and AI object recognition, and a vastly improved personal voice cloning tool.

Later in the show, guests John Dyer and Carrie Morales join to discuss the evolving accessibility landscape on Android, including TalkBack’s integration with Gemini AI, and whether AI-driven features could make Android more appealing to blind users. The panel debates if Apple users might jump ship as smartphone prices climb — or whether ecosystem loyalty still reigns supreme.
