The following accessibility features are available on iPod touch (3rd generation or later), iPhone 3GS (or later), and iPad:
VoiceOver
Zoom
Invert Colors
Mono Audio
Speak Auto-text
These accessibility features work with all apps preinstalled on the devices, as well as many apps downloaded from the App Store.
