Apple is planning to bring live translation to AirPods, according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The feature, which will let users translate conversations in real time, will be “tied” to the forthcoming iOS 19,

If true, this sounds like a major score for AirPods users. But Apple is actually late to the party. For the past few years, Google has included live translation through its Pixel Buds and Pixel Buds Pro earbuds. Several third-party companies also sell earbuds with translation capabilities.

Apple plans to add a live translation to its AirPods via an iOS 19 update coming later this year. As Bloomberg reports, your iPhone would listen to someone speaking in another language and relay the translation to you via your AirPods.
