I love how many neat and handy features are baked into the iOS accessibility settings. Apple should make more noise about these features. I recently discovered there’s a white noise generator baked in which meant I could get rid of the annoying white noise app I had been using to keep my napping baby asleep. Another recent discovery was the on screen anti-motion sickness things that move around with the accelerometer. I get terrible motion sickness and they make a massive difference.

They do mention them in their press releases, they’re featured during accessibility day and they’re occasionally in ads too. I’m not sure what more noise would be relevant for these features.
The "reduce white point" is a great hidden feature in Accessibility that dims your backlight even further for nighttime reading. You can even assign it to a triple-click or backtap (another great hidden feature).
