That is admittedly really cool. It's nice to hear that these sorts of things are just quietly included, maintained, and work well, without widespread fanfare/marketing/publicity. Hmm. I wonder how they could be practically compromised... |

> Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
However, in this case, it would be:
Take the number of people who would benefit from accessibility features, A, multiply by the probability that they would buy an iPhone with these features over any other phone, B, multiply by the profit of each iPhone sale, C. A * B * C = X. If X is greater than the engineering cost to implement accessibility features, we do it.
And realistically I'm sure there's some coefficient not included that equates to how likely Apple is to spend money on something just because it's good for the world (and not because they'll bring in a profit).
