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.
