The phones were already spotted clearing regulatory certification in Brazil back in April, which was the first solid sign the launch was coming sooner than usual. What the certifications…

The result deserves more than a paragraph at the bottom of a news roundup. On May 19, Apple announced a sweeping set of updates across VoiceOver, Magnifier, Voice Control, and Accessibility Reader, all powered by Apple Intelligence. It…
