You don't need to pay for an Audible subscription to have your iPhone read books to you. By enabling an accessibility setting, you can make your iPhone read the text of whatever it is you have open, from a book in iBooks to an article you have open in Safari or another app. This setting is also available on iPads.
It's not a perfect replacement for Audible, though, since AI does the reading instead of an actual living, breathing human. You do have options, however, for the type of voice and language you'd like to hear. It could prove useful if you have poor eyesight or impaired vision, obviously, but it could also come in handy for times when you're just tired of staring at your iPhone screen, whether you are reading in a dark room and can't dim your screen enough, attempting to walk and read at the same time, or are getting jostled on the subway and can't keep your phone steady enough to read comfortably.
To enable the setting, head to Settings > General > Accessibility > Speech and toggle the switch on for Speak Screen.
