Today Apple announced a new suite of accessibility features coming "later this year" to its iPhones and iPads, so presumably these will be part of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, due to be officially unveiled next month.

By far the most interesting of the bunch is eye tracking, which will be supported on both iPhones and iPads, and will let you control the devices with your eyes, just like the name implies.

You will soon control your iPhone or iPad with your eyes
This is aimed at users with physical disabilities, but everyone will be able to use it. Eye tracking will be powered by AI (because everything has to be now). Initially you'll go through a seconds-long calibration phase which will happen through the front-facing camera, and then you'll be all good to go. All of the data used for this never leaves your device, as it's powered by on-device machine learning.

You won't need any additional hardware or accessories, and Eye tracking will work with every app. It will let you navigate through the elements of an app with your eyes, and use Dwell Control to activate each element by dwelling upon it with your eyes.

Next up, the Taptic engine in your iPhone will play taps, textures, and refined vibrations all tuned to the music you're listening to, and this reminds us of Sony's similar feature that debuted many, many years ago, except that Apple's Music Haptics only works with Apple Music initially. It will however be available as an API for developers to make music more engaging in their own apps, if they want to.
