Apple is adding sign language interpretation to selected Apple Original films, with *Being Heumann* set to launch the feature on 13 November. The update expands access for Deaf viewers, and Apple says the interpretations were designed and tested by Deaf people and native signers.
*Being Heumann* and *F1* will offer American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL); *Greyhound* and *Way of the Warrior Kid* are due to follow later this year. Viewers need a supported device with up-to-date software and must enable the feature in the Apple TV app. Interpreters appear over the film, and Apple plans an ASL collection to help users find eligible titles.
