The voice translation on the AirPods Pro 3 will be enabled by Apple Intelligence when other languages are spoken around the person using them.
How it works
For instance, if you're an English-speaker traveling to Spain, the AirPods Pro 3 can translate someone speaking Spanish into English directly into your ears, while lowering the volume of the other speaker so you can focus on the translation. Then, the user's iPhone can translate their speech back into Spanish for the other speaker. Google and Samsung have also launched language translation features for their earbuds.
This technology is not new, as Google has previously offered live translation for its Pixel products.
Other new products
Alongside the new AirPods, Apple also announced its iPhone Air and a new Apple Watch. The latest devices come with a new a A19 chip, which will particularly help power Apple’s artificial intelligence features.
