Apple’s new update for AirPods will add Siri gesture controls that can react to you shaking your head or nodding and spatial audio for games.
As it has done in years past, Apple outlined upcoming new software features coming to the company’s current lineup of AirPods earbuds and headphones today. Apple is introducing Siri Interactions, which includes new gesture controls for AirPods to control Siri in new ways. You can shake your head yes or no to respond without needing to use your voice, which is particularly useful in loud environments.
There’s also new Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking that now supports games. One of the first games to support the feature is Need for Speed Mobile on iOS. Apple is including a new API so developers can take advantage of personalized spatial audio and new high-quality 16-bit, 48kHz audio for gaming chat with AirPods Pro. Personalized Spatial Audio for games will work with AirPods , AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max. AirPods Pro users also get better audio latency during gameplay.
