Studio quality recording
One of the most notable upgrades is the ability to record high-quality music right on AirPods. Apple uses microphone beamforming technology combined with the H2 chip and new sound processing algorithm, allowing users to record with studio quality ideal for podcast, vlog, interview or online learning.
remote camera control
The upcoming AirPods will be able to control the camera on the iPhone or iPad. Users can take photos or record videos just by holding the headset, supporting both the default Camera app and third-party apps. This is an extremely useful feature for those who regularly take videos or group photos.
Automatic sleep stops
AirPods will be able to detect when users are asleep, and automatically stop playing content. This is a health support and battery saving feature that the user community has long expected.
Control by first hand gesture
Apple expands AirPods controller head gestures. Users can nod their heads to activate some features such as increasing volume, or shaking their heads to turn off the sound - supporting a hands-on experience, especially useful when driving, exercising or busy.
Real-time translation
Another big step forward is the Live Translate feature - translating words between two people in a conversation directly, and translating the translated into listeners' ears via AirPods. This feature can become an extremely useful version assistant for travel, learning and communicating in multiple languages.
