Apple introduced the $250 AirPods Pro 3, a pair of earbuds capable of live translation in real-time, at its " Awe Dropping" product launch event earlier this week. The earbuds support translations from French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish into English. Older AirPods models, such as the AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2, will get the live translation feature as an update next week.
Take a Message functions a lot like your traditional voicemail. When you either miss or decline a call, the caller will hear a message that says, "The person you have called is not available.
