Wired.com published an interesting story today by Fred Vogelstein. It gives a "behind the scenes" look at the history of the iPhone’s development. This lengthy article focuses heavily on how the iPhone has and will continue to change the wireless communications industry, as well as describing the massive challenges, particularly technical, that APple faced as it worked to develop the iPhone.
It seems quite clear that Apple was working to an almost impossible deadline, and how the device only just made it to market a the time that it needed to. This seems to offer some reasonable explanation, which had been suspected by many for some time, that Apple simply did not have the ability to get the product to market when it needed to, and incorporate extensive accessibility features.
Given Apple’s track record of a strong commitment to accessibility, it seems logical to deduce that it is only a matter of time before this and similar devices from the company have more access features. We encourage you to continue to contact Apple Accessibility if you want to see access to this and other products.
