Just like it did last year, Apple decided to celebrate the World Awareness Day Accessibility which takes place tomorrow (5/18) posting seven videos on your YouTube channel.
Titles "Designed for" (something like “Created for”), each video shows the reality of a person with special needs using Apple products in their daily lives. Check out:

As we can see, both the titles and the video signatures carry the words "Designed for" and the name of the person in the case of signatures, we still have “Designed for everyone”, which means that the products were developed with everyone in mind, including those that require extra attention when using the devices. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Very well done and inspiring commercials! #cried 💕

Apple posted a second version of the same seven videos above on its channel, but with audio descriptions (very cool!). For those who want to check, everyone is in this playlist Special.
Update II, by Rafael Fischmann 05/18/2017 s 08:44
The seven videos have also now been posted, in Portuguese, on the Brazilian Apple channel on YouTube. We put them in place of the videos in English, above. 😉
