Apple Reveals New Head Gestures Coming to AirPods Pro Later This Year
Apple today announced a few new features coming to AirPods Pro later this year, centering on a new ability to use head gestures in order to control the AirPods Pro. With this feature, you can nod your head up and down, or shake it left to right, in order to answer or decline a call.
In addition to interacting with a phone call, users will be able to use Siri Interactions to respond to messages, manage notifications, and more.
There's also a new Voice Isolation feature coming to AirPods Pro that removes loud background noise around you, so that the person on the other end of a call can hear you clearly. Apple also said personalized spatial audio is expanding to gaming on tvOS this year.
Finally, AirPods users will gain access to a Personalized Spatial Audio feature with dynamic head tracking that boosts gaming experiences on connected Apple devices. This will be available on AirPods 3, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max.
Apple said that all of these features will arrive this fall.
