Apple AirPods Apple news

With iOS 15 , there are some
great features coming to AirPods,
like Conversation Boost. Using
computational audio and beam-forming
microphones, it focuses your AirPods Pro on
the person in front of you, making face-to-face
conversation easier. You can also reduce the
amount of ambient noise you hear, and a new
feature called Announce Notifications will read
your notifications to you.
