Coming Soon to Apple Devices: Brain Control Accessibility Features

  • Apple partnered with Australian startup Synchron to integrate brain-computer interface technology into iPhones, iPads, and Vision Pro headsets for users with motor impairments.
  • This collaboration follows Synchron's development of the Stentrode, a minimally invasive brain implant that translates brain signals into digital commands controlling devices without physical input.
  • The system enables users with conditions like ALS or spinal cord injuries to operate Apple devices using thought alone through Apple's Switch Control and Personal Voice accessibility features.
  • Synchron’s CEO called BCI a “next-generation interface layer,” and the technology’s trials with Apple devices have demonstrated real-world utility, including ALS patients navigating Vision Pro in VR.
  • Although a full commercial launch remains years away, controlled rollouts with trial participants are planned later this year, marking a significant step toward expanded accessibility and human-computer interaction.
