Support both orientations, if possible. I know not even iOS itself does it, but it hasn't always been like that. You'll create a more robust UI that will be easier to port to iPadOS. And especially, don't force your users to rotate their devices.

@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!

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.

Check isReduceTransparencyEnabled to lower transparency. A great example is Spotlight. Not only transparency is removed but it keeps the main color of the background, it feels personalized and contextual but reduces noise and improves contrast.
