During the event, Rory spoke about his personal journey with sight loss and how Apple technology has become an important part of his everyday life, learning, communication, and independence.

Rory’s message focused on the idea that technology can be a lifeline, an equaliser, and a bridge to independence. By sharing his experience, he helped demonstrate why digital inclusion matters and how accessible tools can create meaningful opportunities for everyone.
Key themes: Accessibility, Apple technology, digital inclusion, independence, education, and equal opportunity.
