Apple has today released macOS Ventura 13.4, watchOS 9.5, and tvOS 16.5 to the public.

The release notes for macOS Ventura 13.4 say that it “addresses a VoiceOver issue with navigating to landmarks on webpages.” Additionally, we are aware of the following new bug:

• In System Settings > General > Software update > Beta updates, nothing happens when attempting to click the “Learn more” button using VoiceOver.

As of now, we haven't identified any further bug fixes, enhancements, or newly introduced bugs that specifically affect the experience of blind and low vision users in these updates. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates if needed.

We strive to provide the most comprehensive and accurate information about the accessibility status of Apple software releases. However, as a small team, it is impossible for us to test every device, configuration, application, and use case. That's why we depend on our community to help us ensure that our information is as complete and accurate as possible.
