Apple Reportedly Developing Live Translation for AirPods with iOS 19

The feature, which would enable real-time language translation during conversations, is expected to debut later this year as part of a software update.

  • Apple is reportedly planning to introduce a live translation feature for AirPods, enabling real-time conversation translation between languages.
  • The feature will rely on a connected iPhone to process translations, with audio relayed to AirPods and responses played aloud via the iPhone speaker.
  • This functionality is expected to be included in the iOS 19 update, which is rumored to be one of the most significant redesigns of Apple's mobile operating system in years.
  • Apple's approach would compete with similar features already available on Google Pixel Buds and Samsung Galaxy Buds, but aims to leverage its ecosystem for seamless integration.
  • While specific AirPods models compatible with the feature have not been confirmed, reports suggest it will be available as a software update for existing devices.
