Apple is set to introduce a live translation feature for AirPods through an iOS 19 upgrade. This functionality, expected later this year, will allow users to hear translations of conversations in real-time without needing new AirPods. While this is an exciting development for users, it highlights Apple's delayed entry into the market, as competitors like Google already offer similar capabilities with their Pixel Buds. This enhancement promises to elevate the user experience by enabling seamless, multilingual conversations, reminiscent of the universal translator concept from science fiction.
This sounds like a major score for AirPods users, but Apple is actually late to the party with its upcoming live translation feature.
Google has included live translation through its Pixel Buds and Pixel Buds Pro earbuds, making Apple late on implementing a similar feature.
The translation feature will be tied to iOS 19 and will work with existing AirPods models, enhancing user experience without requiring new hardware.
Hearing translations directly through your earbuds promises a more seamless and immersive conversation experience, moving towards a ‘Ferengi-like’ interaction.
