Overview

  • AirPods Pro 3 go on sale today for about $249–$250 with live voice translation delivered in the wearer’s ear.
  • The system uses Apple Intelligence through the iPhone’s Translate app, debuting with English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German.
  • Translations are read in Siri’s voice while the iPhone displays bilingual transcriptions for reference.
  • Hands-on testing reports roughly a one‑second delay and generally solid accuracy with occasional errors such as pronoun mix-ups or confusion in multi-speaker conversations.
  • Owners of AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4 will receive the translation capability via a software update, which requires a recent iPhone such as iPhone 15 Pro or a model from the 16 series.
