Apple is previewing a number of new accessibility tools and features ahead of its Worldwide Developers Conference which is scheduled for June.
The company wouldn't say when, exactly, the new tools will become available beyond saying it'll happen later this year. Given that Apple typically launches new versions of its operating systems at WWDC, it's reasonable to assume that at least some of these new features will ship with the upcoming iOS 17 and iPadOS 17.
“Today, we’re excited to share incredible new features that build on our long history of making technology accessible, so that everyone has the opportunity to create, communicate, and do what they love," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement.

For example, Phone and FaceTime were combined into a single Calls app, and there are also customized experiences for Messages, Camera, Photos, and Music.
