Your AirPods are getting a major audio upgrade for free - thanks to iOS 26

The upcoming iOS update will bring a significant audio upgrade to AirPods users, thanks to the new live translation feature. This feature, previously limited to certain AirPods models, will now be available on a wider range of AirPods. The live translation feature allows users to engage in real-time conversations with people speaking different languages, with the AirPods seamlessly translating the dialogue. This functionality is set to be expanded, providing more AirPods users with the ability to break down language barriers and communicate more effectively. The article does not provide specific details on which AirPods models will be compatible with the live translation feature, but it suggests that the update will make the feature accessible to a broader range of AirPods users. This improvement is likely to be welcomed by those who rely on their AirPods for international travel or cross-cultural communication.
