Apple can bring in in-day or real world live translation into airpods, which can make them more useful than ever, especially for travelers. According to a report from 9to5mac, The latest iOS 26 Developer Beta 6 includes a new system asset that shows a gesture to trigger. The image, which facilitates text in English, Portuguese, French and German, is associated with the translation app and seems to have been designed for Airpods Pro 2 and AirPods 4. The gesture involves suppressing both airpods at the same time, which can work in a quick way to start moving conversations.

To remember, Apple first announced its live translation feature in WWDC 25, but then focused on, phone calls and messages. What it did not mention, the person was conversation, something that would naturally fit into the experience of airpods. This can compete with translation-capable wearbals, such as Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glass. While Apple has not confirmed any details, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg It was previously reported that work was being done on the translation of the real world.

At the moment, it is not clear which iPhone will be compatible with the feature, as the processing power will probably come from the phone instead of airpods. It is possible that the requirement can match the existing live translation features of Apple, which are only available when the Apple Intellvent is enabled on the equipment supported. They currently work with selected languages including Chinese (simplified), English (UK, US), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish (Spain). Given the high demands of live conversations, 9to5MAC estimates that it may also be exclusive for the iPhone 17 series, which Apple is expected to be launched in September next month.

Now, live translation feature is a big thing for real -world interaction, given that Apple has a major user base worldwide. Imagine that millions of airpods users have the ability to translate a conversation in their desired language when living suddenly, a major achievement. And even if Apple limits it in launch, it is the kind of feature that will make airpods much more than a pair of high-end wireless earbuds for music and call.

In other news, Apple may plan to launch the iPhone 17 series as well as the third-jewelery Airpods Pro model. According to an earlier report by Mark Gurman of BloombergThis will create the first major airpods pro updates since 2022, when the second generation came. While there were some minor updates later, such as switching to the USB-C, the design has been the same, and it is likely to continue. However, another popular analyst, Ming-chi kuoThe believes may be delayed by 2026, citing production issues.

In any way, Airpods Pro 3 can allegedly keep the same compact white earbuds and case, with most changes inside. Expected upgrade includes a new Apple H3 headphone chip, Magsafe Charging Case U2 chip, and continuous continuity of IPX4 water resistance. There are also speculation about new health characteristics, such as sensing body temperature through the ear canal, which can provide more accurate readings than wrist-based devices such as Apple Watch.
