Apple Confirms AirPods Pro 2 To Gain New Upgrade ‘In Coming Weeks’
Forbes Innovation Consumer Tech
Apple has confirmed that the AirPods Pro 2 will be receiving a new upgrade in “the coming weeks”, specifically for users in the UK. This upgrade is related to the hearing health capabilities, which were initially announced last fall.
According to sources, this feature was previously unavailable in the UK due to regulatory issues. However, it seems that these issues have now been resolved, and Apple is moving forward with the release of this software update.
The new features, which were already available in the US, will allow users to take a validated home hearing test, providing them with an estimate of their hearing health. This feature can be particularly beneficial for those who may not have access to traditional hearing tests or prefer the convenience of a self-administered test.
In addition to this new feature, Apple has also announced that the AirPods Pro 2 will include a unique “mic and speaker check” function. When charging the case, users will receive a chime notification indicating whether the microphones and speakers are functioning properly. This is expected to provide high-quality hearing test results.
While some may be concerned about the limited battery life of these earbuds compared to traditional hearing aids, it appears that this upgrade will still offer significant benefits for those who need them.
