Apple is widely rumored to be preparing to release a new
iPhone, an all new smaller iPad Mini and
iOS 6 with numerous
accessibility improvements.
iOS 6: iOS 6 has been previewed by
Apple at
WWDC and will be released this fall.
iOS 6 includes over 200 new features including new accessibility features such as Guided Access and word highlights with speak selection.
iOS is the operating system that runs on the iPhone,
iPad and iPod Touch.
Guided Access will allow teachers and parents to lock the child into a single app and control what features of the app the child could use.
iPhone 5: Unlike
iOS 6 the iPhone 5 has not been confirmed by Apple. But according to leaks and past history it is likely that the
iPhone will be coming out it mid September. The iPhone 5 is likely to have a larger screen, a better camera and a faster processor.
iPad Mini: Like the iPhone 5 the iPad Mini has not be confirmed by Apple. The iPad Mini is rumored to have smaller screen than the current iPad. The smaller size will allow Apple to lower the price compared to the iPad. If the rumors are correct the iPad Mini will be perfect for schools.
