This feature will use the power of Apple Intelligence to help AirPods users communicate through language barriers. Specifically, when a Spanish speaking person is in Spanish, the iPhone will translate and play back content into English via AirPods to users. At the same time, the user's English response will also be translated into Spanish by the iPhone and released to the speaker.
It is worth noting that language processing will take place on the iPhone, so it is likely that some existing AirPods models will still support this feature. However, the third-generation AirPods Pro may have more privileges thanks to the new H3 chip.
The live version feature marks a new step forward in turning AirPods from simple wireless headphones to hearing aids. Previously, features such as active noise protection, trans trans transformer, conversation recognition, hearing aids and hearing protection have kept users with AirPods longer.
For those living and working in a multilingual environment, the ability to understand and communicate with others via AirPods could be a breakthrough change.
