Apple:

Apple has the most options when it comes to accessibility and it is difficult to compile their vast resource library. Your iPad, iPhone, and Mac have built in options for:

• Hands free control: beyond the limits of siri, you can control your entire iPad, iPhone, or computer without the use of your hands
• Visual: change the font size, display settings (including optimization for color blindness, contrast settings, and invert color mode that is more universal than dark mode offers), magnifier (which turns your iPad or iPhone into a handheld electronic magnifier), zoom (zooms in on your device), speech (text-to-speech), and VoiceOver.
• Physical and Motor: Touch assist, attention assist, using switches to control your device, change the function of the lock button, control keyboard settings
• Hearing: Connect to hearing devices, use TTY/RTT directly on your iPhone, audible cues to visual, and subtitle changes
