Apple today shared a heart-warming video highlighting how the iPhone camera’s Action mode allows for people with Parkinson’s disease to record stable videos.
The simple act of filming can be challenging for people with Parkinson’s. Often they are unable to capture their own memories.
For Brett, Bette, and Ellen, every moment matters. With Action mode on iPhone, they can capture smooth hand-held videos and reclaim the joy of filming their favorite moments — supported by accessibility features like Voice Control, which help them operate the camera and navigate their iPhone with ease.
“For someone like me, who’s been using cameras for 30 years, it being an option again is kind of life-changing.” — Brett
One of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease is hand tremors, which can result in a hand-held video recording looking shaky. However, the Camera app’s Action mode automatically stabilizes video recordings so that footage appears smooth.
Action mode is available on all iPhone 14 through iPhone 16 models, excepting the iPhone 16e.
