Apple is previewing iOS 18 by highlighting a host of new accessibility features included in the update. Eye tracking assistive technology is very expensive so it will be interesting to see how well Apple's eye tracking works especially with third party applications. I think Vocal Shortcuts will be very useful for people with aphasia. As someone who gets motion sickness when looking at my phone I wonder how effective Vehicle Motion Cues will be.

I’m guessing that just like literally every other accessibility feature it won’t be turned on unless you ask for it
