There are multiple features that are coming to the ‌AirPods Pro‌ 2 as part of
iOS 18, and these features are included in the firmware update.
With head gestures, users can control
Siri on the ‌AirPods Pro‌ with a shake or a nod of the head. If you get a phone call, for example, you can shake your head no if you don't want to answer it, or nod to accept the call. ‌Siri‌ interactions can be used for responding to incoming messages, calls, and notifications.
Apple is adding Voice Isolation to the ‌AirPods Pro‌ to cut down on loud background sounds to make you easier to hear, and there is a new Personalized Spatial Audio feature specific to gaming. Game developers will be able to incorporate spatial audio into their games for a more immersive audio experience.
The new firmware is limited to developers at the current time, but it will be available to all ‌iOS 18‌ users following the public launch of the new software.
