Was trying to find the exact mount.. seems like there are a ton that look just like that... China!
Most universities (at least in the US) are required to give disability accommodations. It’s incumbent on instructors to reach out and make sure the student have what they need to learn in the class when they receive these accommodation notices, not the other way around.
Nice ads. Good to know about the new accessibility features. The magnifier on the Mac can be very useful.
Clearly this student would have been better off just being completely left out of any material that she was literally unable to see. People with disabilities would really rather that other people are more comfortable with their presence, instead of taking advantage of any reasonable accommodation they may have at their disposal.
Until one experiences these challenges firsthand, it can be difficult to fully appreciate how these accessibility features enable people of all abilities to benefit from Apple's products and, more importantly, to complete everyday tasks independently.
Oh great, not only did they not indicate if the prof was okay with the student recording, but the student spent more time noodling with the photo capture with complete disregard to what the prof might be speaking! Amazing tech Apple!
Having the ability to sit wherever you like just like everyone else sounds like a good thing to me, and exactly what is so nice about these kinds of accessibility features.
Almost like it’s some kind of… advertisement of a feature, or something. This is not a documentary.

I've had that attachment on my 14" MBP for almost 2 years. I freaking love it. I put it so when extended my phone is to the right of the screen though. The 3M tape will be impossible to remove but I also use that as a handle for the Mac. I love it. on Temu for $5
That's Steve Jobs' worst nightmare. Tim put it to market to try and resurrect Jobs to get one last good idea out of him. So far it hasn't worked so Tim is also trying things like Vision Pro, Image Playground, Apple Intelligence etc.
I couldn’t quite make sense of how the software worked from the ad, but it looked complicated and cumbersome surprisingly. Usually Apple makes things dead simple. Maybe that’s as simple as it can be. Hopefully it’s quicker/easier to use than it looked in the ad.
Thank you for sharing your story and experience with technology. I want to reiterate a point I've made before: Apple's focus on accessibility features is a significant advantage for third-party developers. These accessibility tools help developers acquire and retain users; it would be too costly for third-party developers to develop and integrate on their own.
When we discuss the value Apple provides to developers, in addition to APIs, UI/UX assets, training, documentation, e-commerce, and distribution, we should also remember the direct assistance they offer to enhance app inclusivity and expand market reach.
For everyone complaining about the student “fidgeting with the screen” instead of paying attention. That is a person of albinism. I had a coworker, an excellent developer, of albinism. She had to put the screen about 4” from her face without glasses at 200% font size, and even then her field of view was about 20% that of vision abled people. She likened it to everyone else seeing like hawks. In the video you are looking at her entire screen. She only sees a fraction of it, hence the huge font and contrast adjustment.
The fact she can sit in the back — or anywhere else in the auditorium — and still see the chalkboard and interact with the professor should be commended.
Also, anyone who thinks the professor would not be aware of what’s going on needs to go touch grass.

This thread is a great microcosm for what people with disabilities have to endure on a daily basis. Have some empathy you *****.
Accessibility will be useful to everyone reading this, God willing you live long enough. Apple leading in this field has changed lives. I’ve seen it first hand.
There’s a lot to-criticize in the world but helping our fellow humans is not one of them. Your bitterness is more of a limiting factor than anything shown in these promotional spots.

The fine print in the last update said something along those lines: contains a new pride wallpaper and a new emoji.
Go figure.
