iOS 27's Biggest Accessibility Wins — Steven Scott on What Apple Finally Got Right

Apple's WWDC 2025 keynote took a different approach this year — less time on visual polish, more focus on proving its AI actually works. Marc and Steven break down what that means in practice, walking through the features most likely to change how people actually use their devices day to day. Steven highlights what stood out from an accessibility standpoint: the Shortcuts app is finally getting natural-language AI input, addressing a long-standing barrier for blind users who couldn't navigate its interface independently. Safari is getting a similar treatment, letting users describe browser extensions rather than build them manually. And the Passwords app will begin handling credential updates autonomously — no more ignored reminders. Beyond accessibility, the conversation covers quieter wins like independent alarm volumes, smarter Spotlight search, improved Messages context surfacing, and better Wi-Fi to cellular handoffs. Marc and Steven also weigh in on the hardware rumor mill — a confirmed touchscreen MacBook, a potential foldable iPhone, and what the new Siri UI design might telegraph about upcoming MacBook hardware.
