I'll never recommend creating a custom component if there is a native one that does the job. But if you develop a custom tab bar, .tabBar accessibility trait comes to the rescue. Apply to a container view and its buttons will be announced as tabs.

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.

@azzoor is the developer of the Braille Scanner It uses computer vision to locate the page and Machine Learning to match Braille to letters. You can see English letters above the braille, convert them to speech, copy and paste it... so cool!
Sometimes your UI will just not scale for large text sizes. Simple changes, for large sizes, like disposing elements vertically instead of horizontally, reducing the number of columns, and allowing more lines of text, can do the trick most times.
