Health on iOS is opening HealthKit up to allow users to share health information with loved ones and care partners. This feature also ties into some accessibility APIs to let developers ensure that photo content is accessible to users. Live Text in Photos and Camera allows taking photos of text to a new level: You can now OCR the text in a photo and be able to select it (and even have data detectors detect things like addresses and phone numbers where you can tap them to open Maps or call a number). AirPods are receiving some new updates on iOS including the ability to add mild hearing loss assistance, and being able to find them using the Find My app (sorry this will still not work with your Siri Remote). We use them to block out noises and distractions that would otherwise cause us issues while working.
