About this episode

The episode discusses reactions to Apple's WWDC 2026 keynote, focusing on accessibility and new features.

In this episode of the AppleVis Extra podcast, Dave Nason is joined by Thomas Domville and Tyler Stephen for an in-depth discussion of Apple’s WWDC 2026 keynote. The team examines Apple’s new presentation format, the company’s focus on refinement, trust and safety, and artificial intelligence, and what these changes mean for blind and low-vision users. The conversation begins with overall impressions of the keynote, which the hosts describe as a departure from previous WWDC events.
