Getting started with a new Apple product can be overwhelming. To help, we offer curated lists of selected content from our website to help you familiarize yourself with the accessibility features of your device, and answer many of your initial questions. Whether you're new to Apple or an experienced user, these lists will provide valuable information to help you start using your device with confidence.

These lists offer just a sample of the wide range of help and information available on AppleVis. They are intended to provide a starting point for learning about your new Apple product, but there is much more to discover. We encourage you to explore the rest of the website, take advantage of the community support and resources available, and continue to learn as you use your device.
