- Siri Interactions: Apple introduces new gesture controls for interacting with Siri on AirPods Pro. Users can now nod or shake their head to respond without speaking, perfect for noisy environments.
- Machine Learning: With the H2 chip, Siri Interactions enable users to handle calls, respond to messages, manage notifications, and more without saying a word.
- Voice Isolation: Powered by machine learning and the H2 chip, Voice Isolation technology enhances the user’s voice while eliminating background noise like wind for crystal-clear communication.
- Personalized Spatial Audio: Enjoy Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking, now compatible with gaming. Games like Need for Speed Mobile on iOS support this feature for AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max.
- Enhanced Voice Quality: AirPods Pro users will experience enhanced voice quality with 16-bit, 48kHz audio for smoother communication with teammates and players.
The new features will be available this fall through a free firmware update. However, Siri Interactions, Voice Isolation, and enhanced voice quality will be exclusive to AirPods Pro (2nd generation). Stay tuned for an improved audio experience with your AirPods!
