I'd like to see a roadmap of their plans for future languages. The third largest population of Asians in the US is Filipino, yet Korean and Japanese are included in soon to be release plans, but no mention of Tagalog. None of the Indian dialects are mentioned either.
Got a tip for us?

What's BS? They're also rolling it out to older AirPods with noise cancellation, which is presumably required to support the ducking feature.
it would be compataible and for the airpods 4 anc .The begging of the article mention it
Filipinos living in the US speak English. Why would they need it translated to Tagalog?
Filipinos in the Philippines who speak Tagalog don't buy very many iPhones.
Japanese and Koreans who live in Japan and South Korea do.
They target the biggest customer groups for whom it will make a difference.
As to the Indian dialects - English is listed as the second official language of India, out of 22 total. And at least at the present time, the absolute majority of people in India who can afford an iPhone would be pretty fluent in English.
Wait, there's a ducking feature? I have so many questions. Do they make you duck to avoid things? Do they summon ducks? Are they evil ducks? Where are the ducks coming from?
😆😆😆
Sorry, that's just where my mind went, and I haven't been able to stop laughing about it for a couple minutes. 😆
