Apple is making AirPods easier to hear with and find
Apple has announced that AirPods will be getting some quality-of-life improvements with iOS 15, including the ability to boost the sound of people talking to you, better Find My support, and the ability to announce a wider range of notifications.
Apple says the "Conversation Boost" feature will help people who have difficulties hearing other people's voices when they're talking. It will try to isolate the voice of the person in front of you, with sliders that let the user control how much ambient noise is let in.
AirPods can already announce messages and texts, but now they're getting the ability to read out other important notifications, like when a food delivery is made.
The easy-to-lose headphones are also getting more Find My abilities, including an AirTag-like proximity view that tells you how far away your buds are. Using the same tech, your phone will also be able to alert you if you're about to leave your AirPods behind.
AirPods will, of course, support the spatial audio in FaceTime feature announced earlier in the show, as well as spatial audio on Macs and Apple TVs.
