I've heard iOS is generally good towards people with visual impairments. Do you have experience with iOS/OSX and are you able to comment on their friendliness?

OSX has been an accessibility leader for a very long time. However recently everybody else has been catching up.

I was away from Linux and Windows for 10 years because neither provided key chorded full screen zoom by default and now they do.

So, in short, accessibility support in OSX is good, but no longer best in breed, so choose the OS you're most comfortable with generally.

IOS accessibility is excellent. Screen zoom, VoiceOver, high contrast, etc.
