These features not only enhance user experience but also bring more convenience in daily use.
Track head movements
If you're ever in a situation where you need to confirm a Siri request or decline a call without using voice or hand commands, head tracking is the ideal solution. This is a new form of control that allows users to nod up and down or shake back and forth to decline calls or interact with Siri .
When you receive a call, you can shake your head to decline or nod to accept. This also applies when you respond to Siri to control incoming or outgoing notifications and messages, allowing you to respond yes or no without having to speak.
Voice isolation
Voice Isolation helps AirPods Pro cut out loud background sounds when you're on a phone call, allowing the person you're talking to to hear you more clearly. AirPods Pro uses machine learning technology to detect and isolate ambient noise such as wind, cars, and people talking, block unwanted sounds, and prioritize your voice. Voice isolation is a feature available on both the original AirPods Pro and AirPods Pro 2.
Better adaptive audio controls
Adaptive Noise Control is designed to adjust Active Noise Cancellation and the sounds you hear in response to ambient noise. With iOS 18, there are more granular controls for fine-tuning this feature, allowing you to adjust the level of incoming noise to your liking.
Personalized spatial audio for games
Personalized spatial audio is already present in movies, TV shows and music. This feature uses the TrueDepth camera on iPhone to scan your face and ears, creating a custom Spatial Audio profile just for you.
With iOS 18, Apple expands Personalized Spatial Audio to games, bringing more immersive audio to games. Game developers can incorporate spatial audio into their games as part of this change. This feature will be available on AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and third-generation AirPods.
In-game voice quality
AirPods Pro 2 features voice quality improvements for in-game chat and streaming, along with motion tracking and support for 16-bit 48kHz in-game audio. This helps players have a clearer and more realistic sound experience when participating in online games.
Lower latency
According to Apple, AirPods Pro offer the lowest wireless audio latency ever for gaming thanks to improvements included in iOS 18. Improved latency means you'll see little to no lag when playing games. See the in-game action and hear the sounds it makes, for a more responsive experience.
