With a software update, Apple plans to give AirPods the ability to translate conversations in real time.
How will this feature work? Let’s find out!
Apple To Give AirPods The Ability To Translate Conversations in Real Time
The feature will translate face-to-face conversations by utilizing the processing power of an iPhone that is connected.
When used with Pixel smartphones, Google’s Pixel Buds already provide a comparable real-time translation function.
Later this year, Apple will release iOS 19, which will include the new translation feature.
The software update should enable the feature for current AirPods models.
Users’ responses will be translated and played through the iPhone’s speaker, and they will be able to hear the translated speech through their AirPods.
A feature that enables AirPods to be used as over-the-counter hearing aids was previously introduced by Apple.
In order to identify possible hearing loss, certain AirPods models can also be used for hearing tests.
According to reports, Apple is creating a new model of AirPods with cameras and AI-powered capabilities.
There are also plans to develop a replacement for the AirPods Pro (2nd generation).
With a heart rate monitoring sensor, Apple’s Beats subsidiary just released the Powerbeats Pro 2.
More health-related features are anticipated in upcoming Beats and AirPods models.
