Apple does have a good track record when it comes to accessibility features, and it usually announces a slate of new accessibility updates ahead of WWDC. But this year feels a bit different: While these features will indeed likely benefit users with limitations or special needs, Apple also advertises them as "powered by Apple Intelligence." This is almost certainly the company's way of signaling to the tech community (as well as investors) that it is continuing to take AI seriously, especially after two years of slowdowns and setbacks. Moreover, several of these features seem widely useful, whether you "need" them or not.
This is going to be huge for users who rely on Voice Control to use their iPhone or iPad. But it also shows that Apple Intelligence has advanced to the point where any of us can control these devices with our voices. If you need to use your iPhone hands-free for any reason—say, you want to check a recipe while cooking—you could direct your iPhone with your voice, rather than wash your hands, find the right recipe, then wash your hands again.
Add subtitles to personal videos
Apple says that with its future update, Apple Intelligence will be able to caption videos whenever subtitles aren't present. That could work on a clip you watch online that doesn't have subtitles, or on a video you filmed yourself. This will happen automatically on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro, and Apple says the entire process is processed privately on-device (though it can be toggled on or off).
VoiceOver and Magnifier

After the upgrade, though, when hovering Maginifier's camera over a document or a receipt, you'll also be able to ask Apple Intelligence questions about the subject For example, you could ask "How much is the bill for?" and get a full answer with context. You can also use voice commands to take actions, like "zoom in" or "turn on the flashlight."
Apple is improving the Accessibility Reader

Now, with Apple Intelligence, Accessibility Reader will work across "more complex source materials." That includes scientific articles, text printed in multiple columns, as well as images and data tables. The feature will also offer summaries, so you can get the gist of the material before reading on.
Apple Vision Pro accessibility updates are coming too
