Apple today previewed many new accessibility features coming later this year with software updates like iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15, and visionOS 2....
I’m not an apple user, not a fan of apple or their business practices, but I work in UX and MacOS and iOS are the indisputable leader when it comes to accessibility. And these features can be enabled to your taste. This seems like an amazing feature for people with motor disabilities. What’s creepy about it? You can live your life without ever enabling it.
The concern here is them surreptitiously enabling the feature for all sorts of creepy stuff. Including, but certainly not limited to, ads, user tracking and the like.

If it were Google, sure. Apple doesn’t sell ads, they’re not an ad company.
