Apple is reportedly developing a live language translation feature for its popular AirPods, a significant upgrade since the device's release in 2016. This anticipated feature aims to enhance user experience by providing real-time translations, similar to Google’s Pixel Buds, which have offered this capability since 2017. The upgrade comes as Apple seeks to innovate beyond its current audio functionalities, previously introducing hearing aid capabilities. The effectiveness of Apple's translation feature compared to Google's remains to be seen, but it could greatly benefit multilingual users in everyday conversations.
