alt Hacker NewsComing soon very likely means iOS 27.
This has been the typical pattern for Apple for the last few years. The flashy features are announced at WWDC, accessibility has a dedicated, earlier press release. Before this practice, accessibility announcements would usually be tucked in some WWDC slide that most people wouldn't even notice.
The thing that disappointed me about this amazing announcement was “coming later this year“. They should probably give us dates for a little while at least until we get the (<)$95 checks.
I just would not wanna promise anything. Except “available for download this Friday“ once the gold master is passing tests.
