VoiceOver is crazy easy to integrate. If you use UIKit, you're already 95% there. The visually impaired community is very social and you'll be winning yourself some advocates if you do it right.

- jen_h 15y agoAbsolutely! Many of our very best and most involved beta testers are visually impaired; their involvement and feedback's been invaluable -- not just on matters of accessibility but also/especially when piloting new & experimental features -- we've been extraordinarily lucky to have their support and assistance.

- jodrellblank 15y agoI imagine you would also be uncomfortable walking about with limited vision, not looking where you were going and staring at your phone. At least a headphone can solve the former case.
