You may have noticed that navigation/tool/tab bars don't scale with large Dynamic Type sizes. It would take too much space from the screen leaving very little real estate for the actual content. A tap and hold will show the Large Content Viewer.

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.

Ever wondered what the ideal width is for labels so the text is readable? Well, it depends. But readableContentGuide has you covered. You can configure the optimal width independently of Dynamic Type size or Size Classes. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiview/readablecontentguide

Hacks are accessibility’s worst enemy. An example. There is a ‘trick’ floating on the internet: if you want a button with an icon to the right of the text, set the semantic content attribute to force right to left. Great way to create focus traps.
