With iOS 18, Apple is enhancing the AirPods Pro 2 with new features. These updates require iOS 18, iPadOS 18, or macOS Sequoia and a firmware update coming this fall. Here are the exciting new capabilities:
1. Head Gestures
Head gestures allow hands-free control of Siri and calls. Nod to accept a call and shake your head to decline. These gestures also work for confirming or denying Siri requests.
2. Voice Isolation
Voice Isolation improves call clarity. It uses machine learning to filter out background noise like wind and traffic. This feature ensures your voice is clear, making it easier for others to hear you.
3. Better Adaptive Audio Controls
Adaptive Noise Control now offers more precise control over ambient noise. Adjust the noise cancellation level to suit your environment, whether you need more focus or want to stay aware of your surroundings.
4. Personalized Spatial Audio for Gaming
Personalized Spatial Audio uses the TrueDepth camera on your iPhone to create a custom sound profile. This feature now extends to gaming, providing a more immersive experience. Game developers can integrate spatial audio into their games.
5. Improved Voice Quality in Games
The AirPods Pro 2 will have enhanced voice quality for in-game chat and streaming. Enjoy dynamic head tracking and support for 16-bit 48kHz audio, ensuring clear communication during gameplay.
6. Lower Latency
iOS 18 brings the best wireless audio latency for mobile gaming to the AirPods Pro 2. This means minimal delay between actions in the game and hearing the resulting sound, making for a more responsive gaming experience.
These new features will significantly enhance your AirPods Pro 2 experience. Look forward to the update this fall!
