Styling a search bar is hard. Lots of developers opt to build their own instead. If you do, remember to add the .searchField accessibility trait. VoiceOver will announce "Search Field" indicating the user that results might change as they type.

This is my favorite way of testing VoiceOver. Pick a flow in your app. Turn VoiceOver on. Triple tap with three fingers on the screen to enable Screen Curtain. The screen goes off but you can still navigate your device with VoiceOver.

If you need to send announcement notifications that can step into each other, they will by default, interrupt ongoing announcements. But you can pass attributed strings as parameters too, letting you specify announcements to be queued.

Love this feature! Yahoo released the possibility to explore charts with audio, in the finance app, when using screen readers in 2019. You can do now something very similar since iOS 15. https://coolblindtech.com/yahoo-finance-app-makes-charts-accessible-to-blind-and-partially-sighted-users/ You can move your finger in the x-axes, and it will play a sound with a different pitch depending on the data in the y-axes, making it easier to identify trends in the graphs. You need to conform to the AXChart protocol by implementing the accessibilityChartDescriptor property.
