Apple Plans Live Translation Feature for AirPods

Apple is set to introduce a live translation feature for AirPods, allowing users to converse in real-time across different languages. This feature, reported by Mark Gurman, will be integrated into an upcoming AirPods software update tied to iOS 19, expected later this year. Users will be able to speak naturally while wearing AirPods, with their iPhone translating conversations automatically. While similar capabilities have existed in competitors' products, this update aims to enhance the user experience by streamlining communication without needing to hold a device. The feature is part of Apple's broader strategy to improve its software ecosystem and introduce significant updates across its platforms. There remains uncertainty about whether this feature will be available for older AirPods models or just the latest generation.
