Track record wise, apple is one of the best in terms of serving accessibility. So I’d bet greater than 50% odds that they’re thinking about lazy eye or one eye or derivatives there of.

Well, they have pretty consistently invested in and showcased accessibility, famously ROI-be-damned (to paraphrase Tim Cook). So, it’s not a stretch to expect (but not assume) they will have the perspicacity to do the same here.

I agree not to drink the apple copium, but they do excel in accessibility by a large degree.

Honestly, I think a large part of the industry taking into account accessibility in a more serious ways comes from the competitive advantage apple has created.

Doesn’t mean accessibility hasn’t been done in the past. By no means. But it’s a market segment they have on lockdown

FWIW, I emailed a fairly senior accessibility person at Apple yesterday with a question about the headset and got a response back today, even in the midst of WWDC. And I'm a relative nobody — just a bootstrapped solo founder who works in the accessibility field.
