A poignant five-minute video showing people living with Parkinson’s disease—and the hand tremors that accompany it—using their iPhone to record beautiful, stable memories using Action mode. Action mode isn’t an “accessibility feature”; it wasn’t designed specifically to help Parkinson’s patients. It’s marketed as helping to “capture smooth hand-held videos even when you’re moving around a lot—when jogging or hiking, for example”. But it demonstrates how thoughtful design benefits everyone. This is Apple at its finest. If you’re not even a little emotional at the end, you’re not wired right. I found the video especially affecting: only yesterday my mom underwent a skin biopsy to check for Parkinson’s (and Bradykinesia). We’ll know the results in a month.
