Earlier this week, Apple announced a number of accessibility features, including the ability to clench your fist to answer a call with your Apple Watch. Looking at the screenshots from the press release, the iPhone's UI didn't look right, which makes us wonder if these features are coming to iOS 15. It's rare for Apple to announce features without naming the version of the operating system it's running on. they arrive. It's usually an emoji ad ending with the version you came up with. But here it is different: the user interface has an improved shape than anywhere else on iOS today.

As for Apple's press release, there is a collection of screenshots showing iOS with three upcoming accessibility features. The screenshot below shows the upcoming Background Sounds feature, where you can play a variety of sounds to help you focus on a given situation. However, the layout used here is not visible anywhere else on iOS or in third-party apps. That's because those inlaid cells, which are the edges of a box to make sure they line up correctly when viewed, are only available on iPadOS right now, not iPhone. This is a useful UI feature that can help you distinguish between different settings on a single screen.

There are many methods that developers can use in XCode to help create the user interface, and one of them is Card View. It looks like these screenshots allow you to merge some navigation windows, such as a scroll counter and a way to enter numbers into a single card.

Especially since the latest iOS 14.7 developer build also doesn't have any of these accessibility features, just a new timer option for HomePod users.
Hooked on WWDC 2021
It's definitely very easy and you'll lose this feature, but it might suggest a subtle UI update on iOS that could be coming soon in the next version. With WWDC 2021 a few weeks into this year, we could see more improvements to how developers can use more functionality for their apps in the UI. There's certainly more hope for more features in iPadOS 15 in particular, but next month's WWDC event could be so feature-packed that Apple had no choice but to announce these accessibility features early to give itself its own time to shine. . However, it makes sense that these improvements would be made independently of iPadOS, in order to bring more unification to the operating systems and developers working on both platforms.
