How Apple Saved My Life --James Rath (4 min)
This film is not sponsored or a paid product placement. This
is merely my thanks to Apple.
Growing up blind, the resources I had to help cope with my
visual impairment were quite limited. It wasn't until I
learned of Apple's efforts to make their products as
accessibility friendly as possible, that I truly was able to
perform stronger in school, online, on the streets, and with
my art. This is the story of how Apple saved my life at a
time when my mental illness was the worse it had ever been.

Taking a family portrait. Catching up over FaceTime. Raising
the blinds to let in the morning light. We want everyone to
enjoy the everyday moments that technology helps make
possible, so we work to make every Apple product accessible
from the very start. Because the true value of a device
isn't measured by how powerful it is, but by how much it
empowers you.
