Amazon has slashed Apple's bestselling AirPods amid the AirPods Pro 3 announcement. If you've been thinking about upgrading to these Bluetooth earbuds, which can double up as hearing aids, offer active noise-cancellation, and can be used for hands-free phone calls — don't miss out
iOS 26 adds several new features to the 'buds.
One of the standout improvements is automatic pausing — music, podcasts, or other media will pause automatically when the system detects you’ve fallen asleep. The update also adds battery notifications, letting you know when the AirPods case or the earbuds themselves are low on power or fully charged.
iOS 26 also adds Live Translation (beta), which allows real-time translation during face-to-face conversations directly through the AirPods Pro. You'll need to have an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence in your pockets for this to work, but then you'll be able to hear a real-time translation in your ear as someone is speaking to you in another language. If they don't have a pair of AirPods in their ears, you can hold up your iPhone, and it'll show a translation of your reply on-screen.
Audio and recording capabilities are enhanced as well. Studio-quality recording ensures clearer voice capture even in noisy environments, while enhanced voice quality on calls and FaceTime delivers more natural, crisp vocals. Additionally, a handy camera remote feature lets you trigger the camera shutter or start video recording by pressing the stem of the AirPods.

Apple added new capabilities to these flagship earbuds earlier this year, including Conversation Awareness, which automatically lowers volume when you're speaking to someone nearby. Apple also enabled more functionality, which enables these 'buds to become medical-grade hearing aids.
The earbuds also support Spatial Audio for a more immersive sound experience and now come with a USB-C charging port, so you can use the same cable for your iPhone, iPad, Kindle, Nintendo Switch, MacBook Pro, and Android devices when away from home.
AirPods Pro 2, powered by the latest dedicated chipset for Bluetooth earbuds — the Apple H2, will be updated with a slew of new features when you upgrade your iPhone to iOS 18 or Mac to macOS Sequoia and the 'buds are within Bluetooth range | THOM BRADLEY | UNSPLASHWhen you do need to let some of the outside in, AirPods Pro include Transparency mode that lets your surroundings cut-through the audio, while Adaptive Audio is an intelligent blend of both of these modes. Apple says you can expect six-hours of music playback with ANC switched on. The carry case will recharged the earbuds, adding up to 30-hours of listening time in total.
With the second-generation AirPods Pro, Apple added small speaker to the case, so that it can now emit a sound to help you find it when it's been misplaced. Both earbuds and the carry case can all be tracked individually via GPS in the Find My app preinstalled on all iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices.
With the second-generation model of the AirPods Pro, Apple added a lanyard loop and tweaked the case so that it;s sweat- and water-resistant — just like the Bluetooth earbuds themselves.
