Apple to launch new accessibility features for people with vision or hearing impairments

- Developers will be required to list accessibility features in app 'nutrition labels' such as voiceover, voice control, or large text to encourage better accessibility options.

- Voice replication is secure, encrypted, and remains on the device unless backed up to iCloud, reducing the risk of unauthorized use.
