Some animations can be a lot for some people. They may opt to reduce motion in Settings. You can know by checking isReduceMotionEnabled. You’ll immediately see that the system’s animations are much more subtle. The weather app is a great example.
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.
