Set to the soundtrack “I Am the Greatest” by Spinifex Gum (with Marliya Choir), it opens by showing a woman telling Siri to set her morning oblow …
Her bedroom blinds open, and Siri gives her a atmosphere report, before she sits up to reveal that she has no arms. Subsequent clips show her silly her feet with amazing dexterity to apply makeup and fuel, as well as operate her iPhone with the help of AssistiveTouch.
Another example shows a blind musician silly audio descriptions to identify things in a dressing room, as well as detecting the stage door above which he enters to begin his performance.
A quadriplegic man uses content to instruct his iPhone to take photos of himself, then uses gestures like sticking out his tongue and raising his eyebrows to edit the photos.
Other examples concerned a child having her iPhone read text to her, and a deaf mother selves alerted by her Apple Watch that her baby is crying.

I also used time recently with Colin Hughes, a quadriplegic disability campaigner who showed how he combines a blueprint of Apple accessibility and HomeKit features to maximize his requisition to live an independent life. He says it’s been an amazing year for accessibility.
“It’s been a stellar year for accessibility and Apple technology, particularly for those of us who need voice enhancements. Apple has clearly been listening to what disabled users have been revealing, and that’s great to see.”
“These three updates may not seem a lot to some people,” he says, “but they add up to a lot in my day-to-day life, and the ease and independence they subsidizes cannot be overemphasized.”
