Creativity
Accessibility on iOS does not limit design possibilities or control over the final interface.
Custom elements and interactions can painlessly be made as accessible as built-in Buttons/Labels/etc (more on that later).
While users control the status of features such as Invert Colors 1 or Mono Audio 2, app creators can and should3 define how their app behaves when Assistive Technologies are enabled (see documentation and examples for: Accessibility Accommodations, and other Technical Reference topics).
- Invert Colors: inverting screen colors helps people who are sensitive to brightness, color blind, or have low vision.↩
- Mono Audio: Stereo audio sometimes contains distinct tracks for each ear. When using headphones, people who are deaf or hard to hear on one ear would miss the audio track for the impaired ear. Mono Audio delivers both tracks to the non-impaired ear so that no information is lost.↩
- Assistive Technologies such as “Reduced Motion“ or “Reduced Transparency” help people with certain impairments, it is recommended to tone down animations and transparency when these settings have been enabled by the user.↩
