Often with most phones we only touch on the surface of what it can do. Take the iPhone it is simp,y the disabled persons phone of choice. Apple has baked in so many accessibility functions that blind people can use the phone just fine.

Personally, I find this aspect of the iPhone superb. There are even specific apps for the blind. Just imagine being blind but using the iPhone camera to slowly view the area around you. As you move the camera, it speaks the colours in precise detail.

But now with iOS 7 it gets even better. Disabled people can now operate the iPhone with head movements. The option can be found in the Switch Control area of the Accessibility menu, which is designed for users who need assistance with physical and motor movements.

Taking another aspect of the new iOS 7, there is support for gaming controllers from Logitech and Moga. Now because the support will be baked into an API, more games will be able to work quickly and easily with a controller. I currently use the ps3 dual shock controller and Moga Pro to play games and the difference is night and day in terms of enjoyment and control. This is using android devices but due to fragmentation on android there isn’t one device/solution. Apple is providing this solution. And whilst you think you won’t use a controller with the iPhone, just wait until you do as I doubt you will ever be able not to use one going forward. This feature of iOS 7 will destroy the Ninetendo DS and possibly the Sony PS Vita.
