Hey Siri, you’re disruptive!
The introduction of the screenreader on the iPhone 3GS in 2009 changed the nature of assistive technology forever. By designing the device using the principles of universal design and ensuring accessible features were built right in, it heralded the demise of many forms of bespoke assistive technologies and brought assistive technology into the mainstream in a socially valued and inclusive device.
