apple Unveils AirPods Pro 3 with Real-Time Translation Capabilities
CUPERTINO, CA – Apple today announced the next generation of its popular in-ear headphones, the AirPods Pro 3, featuring significantly enhanced noise cancellation and a groundbreaking live translation feature powered by Apple Intelligence. The new earbuds represent a major leap forward in both audio technology and accessibility.
The AirPods Pro 3 boast dramatically improved Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), with Apple claiming performance will be twice that of the AirPods Pro 2 and four times greater than the original AirPods Pro. The company also promises a more natural sound quality for voices when using Transparency mode, addressing a common critique of previous iterations where voices could sound filtered.
Beyond refinements to existing features, the AirPods Pro 3 introduce a real-time translation capability. Utilizing Apple Intelligence, the earbuds can listen to conversations in another language and deliver a synthesized translation directly to the user – a feature likened to the “universal translator” from science fiction.
Apple also highlighted improvements to battery life, stating the AirPods Pro 3 will offer up to eight hours of listening time with ANC enabled, and up to ten hours in Transparency mode with the hearing aid mode activated. The new model also incorporates heart rate tracking functionality, positioning it as a potential competitor in the fitness wearable space.While Apple’s performance claims regarding ANC are subject to autonomous verification, the introduction of live translation marks a notable advancement in personal audio technology and could reshape how people communicate across language barriers. The AirPods Pro 3 represent apple’s continued investment in innovative features designed to seamlessly integrate technology into everyday life.
