We all know the feeling.
You have a piece of tech that you love using,
maybe it's an iPhone.
You use it all the time and love the device.
Then Apple releases a new iPhone model
and suddenly your current phone seems outdated.
All those upgraded camera lenses,
faster processing speeds and sleek new designs
make your current device feel ancient.
But to get the new model,
you need to drop some serious cash.
Well, that new phone feel is coming to your AirPods Pro 2,
courtesy of iOS 17.
And the best part is that there are six new features
you're getting completely free.
And a couple of these upgrades
are gonna make your AirPods Pro feel brand new.
Apple is taking AirPods Pro 2 to the next level
with intelligent audio, instant controls,
and faster connectivity.
Let's go over everything starting with adaptive audio.
This new capability continuously optimizes noise cancellation
in your AirPods Pro 2 based on your surroundings and motion.
So one second it's blocking appliance humps
and the next it's piping in critical traffic sounds.
Adaptive audio takes transparency modes to the next level
by actively tuning it to the environment you're in
in real time so you no longer need to switch
between active noise cancellation
and transparency modes manually.
Next, Conversation Awareness.
This feature to me is a big deal.
It'll automatically detect when someone starts talking
to you and will instantly lower the playback volume
of what you're listening to and boost their voice
while lowering background noise
so you can hear them clearly.
No more awkward, what did you say, moments.
Conversation Awareness ensures you'll never miss
an important conversation again.
And it also helps when you're on a phone call as well,
reducing the background noise around you while you speak.
Honestly, I wish every pair of headphones had this.
Okay, the next new feature coming to AirPods Pro 2
with iOS 17 is personalized volume.
This uses on-device intelligence to gradually learn
and apply your optimal loudness settings
based on your individual listening habits
alongside the environmental conditions
that you happen to be in.
So in other words, maybe you like the volume
to be a certain way when you're sitting in quiet
and a totally different way when you're riding the subway.
This is like having a personal sound engineer
continually tuning your music to perfection for you.
The ability to set it and forget it
with personalized volume is pretty clutch.
Next, let's talk about mute controls.
And this may be hard to believe
or something you just might not have noticed,
but up until this point,
AirPods Pro doesn't have an onboard way to mute.
In other words, if you're using the AirPods
and you wanna mute yourself,
you need to mute from your iPhone or iPad
or whatever connected device you're using.
iOS 17 fixes this and AirPods Pro will finally
let you mute them from the AirPods themselves
by squeezing the stem during a call.
It's a small change, but the ability to instantly
mute call audio right when you need to
just takes the AirPods Pro to another level.
Now next is a feature that the AirPods have had for years,
but the problem is this feature didn't really work
all that great for a lot of people.
I'm talking about auto device switching.
In iOS 17, switching between your devices
with your AirPods Pro 2 is getting insanely faster.
It's the seamless, speedy auto device switching experience
we should have had when the feature was first introduced.
Now, if you don't know what I'm talking about,
what I mean is if you're using your AirPods with your iPhone
and then switch to using your Mac,
your AirPods will automatically switch over
to your Mac's audio.
Then you leave your Mac and you pull up a YouTube video
on your iPad, the AirPods just seamlessly switch over
to your iPad.
While using it in the iOS 17 beta,
I'm getting near instantaneous audio transitions
between my iPhone, iPad and Macs with zero lag or cutout.
So instead of calling this a new feature,
let's just call it, this feature has finally been fixed.
Then there's Siri.
For all of Siri's shortcomings,
I love it for smart home control.
And I also use it when I have my AirPods in
and I'm walking down the street.
Siri sees two upgrades as it pertains to AirPods Pro 2
in iOS 17.
First, you'll no longer have to say the hey
before saying Siri.
Instead, you can just say Siri to activate it.
Secondly, you can now chain multiple requests together
without repeating Siri each time.
So you can say something like,
Siri, turn up the volume and play my running playlist,
and that'll execute both commands
rapid fire back to back,
instead of you having to do it one at a time.
With several game-changing intelligent audio features,
instant mute controls, lightning fast switching,
and an upgraded voice assistant,
iOS 17 delivers big upgrades for AirPods Pro 2,
making them much better wireless earbuds
than they already were, all for free.
Let me know which feature you're most excited about
down in the comments below.
Thanks for watching as always guys,
I appreciate your support.
I'm Andru Edwards and I will catch you in the next video.
