Doug highlights a buried Apple feature designed for cognitive disabilities, which he found also transforms an iPhone into an ideal dumb phone for kids. The article, sourced from WIRED, discusses this underutilised setup that even Apple hasn't prominently promoted.

Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues, introduced in 2024, use the device's accelerometer and gyroscope to display moving dots on the screen that correspond to the vehicle's motion, reducing or eliminating motion sickness. The feature is designed to resolve the sensory conflict between a static display and the inner ear's detection of movement.
