Upside: mainstream, free screen reader.

Downside: mainstream, free screenreader.

I hope you like the bugs in VoiceOver for your iPhone, because there are plenty 
more of those where they came from for the Mac. And Mac is the less popular 
platform, so you can generally expect them to be more irritating and take 
longer to get fixed.

But, yes, all that stuff works on macOS. I'd consider keeping a free VM running 
Windows on hand, just in case, especially for certain web apps, or the Office 
applications where the scripts simply provide superior accessibility. But the 
experience of macOS today rivals the best era of Windows accessibility, say the 
mid-2000s, in its relative simplicity compared to modern-day Doze, whilst being 
up-to-date and capable of running much useful software that Windows users would 
ultimately need iOS to use, even assuming it's available for Windows. The indie 
scene of commercial macOS development often means you actually get the kind of 
care and attention for your accessibility issues that is simply not available 
elsewhere, so while you do have to put up with Apple's incompetence you are 
also often getting a premium experience for certain apps and tools.

So yes, go to it, and have fun. Just don't expect it to be exactly like your 
iPhone or iPad, because it's not.

Cheers,
Sabahattin
