Apple Intelligence

Apple has unveiled the AirPods Pro 3 with heart-rate sensing, improved noise
cancellation, a more compact case, and upcoming live translation features
powered by Apple Intelligence. They'll be available for preorder today at a
price of $249. TechCrunch reports: One of the standout features of the
AirPods Pro 3 is its heart-rate sensing capability, a first for the AirPods
line. This addition will operate similarly to the Powerbeats Pro 2, using LED
sensors to provide precise measurements. The collected data will sync with
Apple's Fitness app. The active noise cancellation, which reduces external
noise, has been significantly improved. Apple says it removes twice the noise
compared to Pro 2. A noteworthy upcoming feature is a live translation
capability, thanks to Apple's iOS 26 software update. This lets you have
conversations in different languages, using your iPhone to translate while
the phone plays one language and the AirPods handle the other. Other notable
updates include smaller, more comfortable earbuds. Apple now offers foam ear
tips in five different sizes, and the company claims it's "the best-fitting
AirPods."
