When implementing the large content viewer, UIKit components will usually have a large content title and image configured for you. But if you are developing a custom component, or you want to add info to a native component, you can do so.
Two more examples on better accessibility labels for abbreviations. "4 days ago" is better than "4 D", with a RelativeDateTimeFormatter and a spellOut units style. "Monday" is better than "Mon", accessing the weekdaySymbols from a Calendar.
