iOS 18 to Bring These 5 New Features to AirPods Pro

[CloneBB]

I would love to use my APP as hearing aids

missed my point completely my dude lol

Oh I got your point. lol

The number of ppl that complain they can hear the colleague sat next to me better than me on Teams calls on my laptop (windows) is ridiculous! So are we saying voice isolation is now going to be done an APP themselves (and this was previously restricted to iPhone) and I will now sound clear as a whistle on Teams??

I'm confused. The Voice Isolation I already enabled in iOS17 wasn't working with AirPods Pro? It didn't indicate it was phone only if so.

How about a feature to actually make them stay in my ears?! They’re always coming out when I’m walking or chewing something.

What a joke that a premium priced item like this and a company like Apple can’t figure out how to make them stay in someone’s ears!

I feel like you all forgot the double-sampling-rate game mode for the air pods which apparently gets rid of most of the latency.

I was confused as well. Maybe it implements the ANC into the system so it's isolated by both the headphone NC 'n the machine learning stuff?

can't wait to try this out

Believe me, it’s not. My APP are trash in semi loud environments.

Believe me, it is. Check your settings.

I have the same problem. But it is not Apple's problem it is our specific ears.

I could have sworn voice isolation was always a feature

It was a feature — on iPhones and iPads for Facetime. The change here is that the implementation is moved onto the AirPods Pro 2 themselves.

Surely it is all done on AirPods… the latency would be huge if processed on iPhone

Doing the audio processing on the iPhone, as is is currently done, does not introduce any noticeable latency, but would take processing power that going forward would be better used for Apple Intelligence on the iPhone/iPad. Offloading it to the AirPod Pro 2’s like they have with noise cancellation etc. also has the added advantage of not needing to be limited to specific apps, e.g., FaceTime.
