Apple has released a new firmware update for the AirPods Pro 2 ahead of the iOS 18 release next week. The update, with version number 7A294, brings some exciting new features to enhance your AirPods experience.
One of the key features of this update is the addition of head gestures. This feature allows you to interact with Siri without using your voice. You can now accept or reject incoming calls with a simple nod of the head or shake to decline. This feature also works with incoming messages and Siri notifications, making it easier to manage your device without speaking.
Another new feature is Voice Isolation, which is designed to reduce background noise when you are talking to someone. This feature helps to minimize distractions from sounds like wind or traffic noise, making your speech clearer and easier to hear.
Additionally, Personalized Spatial Audio has been expanded to include games. While this feature depends on game developers implementing it, it has the potential to make gaming experiences even more immersive by using spatial audio technology.
To check if the update has been installed on your AirPods Pro 2, go to Settings, tap on the name of your AirPods, and scroll down to the About section. The previous version was 6F8, so you can verify if the new update is now installed.
Overall, this update brings significant improvements to the AirPods Pro 2 and enhances the user experience with new features like head gestures, Voice Isolation, and expanded Spatial Audio for games. Keep an eye out for more updates from Apple to further enhance your AirPods experience.
