Hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and the other day apple introduced ios 15 with a bunch of new
features but they also spent some time introducing new features to the airpods so airpods airpods pro
and airpods max and so i want to go over all of the new changes and features that are specific
to the airpods and the first one has to do with spatial audio now this you probably already heard
about that they introduced it with apple music for example so you can go to the spatial audio
playlist if you want to hear this under browse it's not available in all countries unfortunately
but if you do have the option you'll see this and it will also say dolby atmos on the song that has
spatial audio so if you tap on any song with it you'll see dolby atmos here it'll be above
the play button and if it's not there it doesn't have it but you can go to any one of these songs
and you'll see that it says dolby atmos that tells you it has spatial audio and i've spent some time
listening to this on the airpods max and it sounds incredible apple compares it from going to say
mono to stereo so going from stereo to spatial audio i don't know if it's that big of a leap
but it definitely sounds better if they've put the time in to actually properly master these so
they do sound incredible it's available on ios 14.6 and newer but along with spatial audio not
just for music they've also updated it for your iphone and your ipad altogether so for example
you're probably already familiar with spatial audio if you have airpods pro or air pods max
whether you're watching a video or a movie on the tv app for example you'll have that spatial audio
let me bring in my ipad here now if i bring in my air pods pro and i connect them to my ipad pro
once they're connected i'll have the option for spatial audio so i'll go ahead and put one of
them in my ears and if we pull down the control center press and hold on the volume slider here
it says spatial audio on now spatial audio makes it sound like your audio is coming directly from
your ipad maybe you're sitting in a theater for example it makes it sound like it's coming from
the front of the ipad and as you turn your head the sound changes so that it's always coming
from this direction instead of just going with the way you turn your head for example
they've updated this on ios 15 and ipad os 15 so that you can use it in other apps as well
even if they don't have spatial audio set up for them so for example if i go into youtube
and play one of my youtube videos i'll play this give it just a moment here my video is playing
now if i pull down from the control center press and hold again it now says spatialize stereo on
and again it does the same sort of thing it makes it sound like you're sitting in a large room
where the audio is coming from the front of the ipad instead of just having normal stereo sound
it works in any app that has video or anything playing from the ipad so it works really well
and you can turn it on and off if you don't like it of course but that's something new
and it switches depending on what you're watching if you go back to something with
spatial audio it will say spatial audio instead of spatialized stereo so that's something they've
added with ios 15 and ipad os 15 for airpods now unfortunately it doesn't seem to work with
the regular air pods so if i connect these so if i place one of these in my ear here
and we go to the control center press and hold on volume we don't have the option for spatial
audio unfortunately you'll need airpods pro or airpods max now another thing they've updated
in ios 15 and ipad os 15 for air pods is announce with siri now you could do some of this before
where messages would come in it would announce them on your airpods however they've updated this
for notifications the first time you connect your airpods and you get notifications you'll
get this message that says announce calls and notifications when airpods macs are connected
siri will announce calls and notifications that you can respond to just by speaking to siri now it
doesn't just work with airpods max it works with airpods pro and airpods second generation as well
so you can configure this in your settings so if you go into settings for example
go down to siri and search you have announced notifications now you have announced calls
like you had before so you can turn this on for wherever you'd like it to announce but you also
have the option for announced notifications and you can say announce when connected to headphones
and then you can configure it for any app that you have that you want an announcement from
for example maybe you're using telegram you want it on turn it on it also says here have siri read
out notifications without having to unlock your iphone when second generation airpods and some
beats headphones are connected siri will avoid interrupting you and will listen after reading
notifications so you can reply without saying siri and then the notification word before that so
you can use that on anything that wants to notify you so it's really nice to have that it will read
that out to you if you'd like to use that so that's something they've updated as well now
another new feature apple actually showed off a little while ago and it's under accessibility
but i think it will benefit a lot of people and that's background sounds so if we go to settings
scroll down to accessibility under accessibility scroll down to audio visual under audio visual it
says background sounds it says plays background sounds to mask unwanted environmental noise these
sounds can minimize distractions and help you to focus calm or rest we can turn these on and we
have different options for volume or even volume when using media or playing media back and then if
we go under sounds we have some different options for balanced noise bright noise dark noise ocean
rain and stream now they actually have to download a little bit of data to use this so they take up
about 60 to 70 megabytes each so you'll see i haven't downloaded balanced noise so i'll tap on
this and it has to download that and again bright noise it takes a moment and it downloads that so
it's a little bit glitchy from time to time but it will be stable once it's released to the public
now as far as other features while apple has updated not only things for ambient noise
but also to help with conversations so if you have airpods pro for example and i'll pair the air pods
pro here so i'll put the air pod in my ear and in the future we'll have the ability to boost
conversations so if you go to the control center make sure my airpods pro are connected here now if
i scroll down to the little ear here this is for noise here we can enable background sounds like
i showed you just a moment ago live listen which is another feature and also some other headphone
accommodations now currently conversation boost is not here but what it will do is give you the
ability to boost the conversation of the person in front of you to better help you hear them or
understand them you'll be able to also limit background noise as well so that you can hear
more of the background or less of the background and this should help those just trying to focus
so it's going to use the sensors and the microphone in the airpods pro to do this
and hopefully we'll see that maybe in the next beta or so but that will be coming soon to airpods
so that's something i think will be very helpful to quite a few people especially those background
sounds now maybe you've lost one of your air pods and you're not able to find it in the future apple
is adding the ability to use find my with air pods pro and air pods max the same way you can with air
tags for example where not only will it locate it but will also give you proximity alerts as you get
closer to it so this is not enabled yet but if we go into find my as you can see we have the option
to play a sound or get directions with ios 15 and in the future with our airpods pro or airpods max
we'll be able to have that proximity alert as well or proximity view now also there's a new
feature that's really helpful that i'm already experiencing with different devices that will be
coming to airpods as well and that's that has to do with if you leave them behind it will alert you
if you've left them behind so maybe you're going off to school or to work and you forgot your air
pods maybe they were charging or you just left them at home it will let you know that you've
been separated for it so you can turn around and go back and get them and this is already present
in some other devices so for example i had an alert today when i left a macbook behind you'll
see that it says m1 ipad pro 12.9 was left behind your device was left it gives you the address
where it was near tap to learn more the first time you leave it behind you also get the notification
that says two items were left behind these items were left behind it gives the address and the time
notify when left behind lets you know every time you separate from your items or devices you can
add locations where you don't want to be notified or you can disable this feature in find my
so i find this very helpful it's something that's already notified me a couple of times of course
you can turn it off so i'll go back over to find my you can see that it says receive a notification
every time you separate from your items just like it said before and then notify me accept that and
you can add a new location so this is really helpful if you don't want to forget something
that could be a backpack with an air tag attached for example your airpods in there and this is
coming to airpods and airpods max now the other update they've made is to automatic switching
if you've already had airpods pro or airpods max and you're on ios 14 for example you'll already be
familiar with automatic switching but sometimes it doesn't work that great they've made improvements
to this and it will also now work on apple tv with tv os 15. so you'll be able to switch
between your iphone ipad mac and now tv as well so that's coming in the future when this releases
now all of these features should be coming to the public with the release of ios 15 for example and
that generally releases around september late september when apple introduces the iphone 13
or the next iphone every year they'll release the upcoming iphone at that time and they'll
also announce when to expect the update to roll out usually in the second half of september so
you can expect ios 15 ipad os 15 watch os 8 tv os 15 and the updates to airpods as well around
that time so look for that of course it will be a few months and of course i'll keep you updated
as soon as i know more as to when it will come out and so that's everything coming to ios 15 and ipad
os 15 and your mac with the new airpod updates let me know if you've found anything else though
that's pretty much everything i could find so far and i can't wait to try out the conversation boost
as well once that's added with future betas let me know what you think about them in the comments
