What Blind Users Want from WWDC 2025
In this exclusive pre-WWDC chat, Steven, Shaun, and guests Michael Babcock and Callum Stoneman break down their hopes, frustrations, and predictions ahead of Apple’s 2025 developer conference — with a strong focus on accessibility, AI, and the future of VoiceOver.
Recorded for subscribers of the Double Tap private feed, this roundtable dives deep into expectations for WWDC 2025. The conversation covers anticipated updates to VoiceOver on Mac, Apple Intelligence, AI in accessibility tools, and the Vision Pro’s growing role in assistive tech. The panel also critiques Siri’s long-standing performance issues, weighs the impact of new accessibility features like Braille Access and Magnifier on Mac, and discusses the broader implications for blind users and specialist tech manufacturers.
Discussions turn candid and humorous as the group explores frustrations with dynamic UI changes in iOS 19, broken promises in screen recognition, and ongoing challenges in balancing privacy with performance. The team also reflects on the growing need for mainstream tech companies to support blind-first platforms like Be My Eyes and InnoSearch, and the very real consequences of inaccessibility in major releases like Sonos.
