Apple Reportedly Developing Real-Time Language Translation for AirPods

The rumored feature would integrate with iOS 19 and streamline in-person multilingual conversations using AirPods and iPhone.

Apple is reportedly working on a real-time language translation feature for AirPods, expected to launch later this year with iOS 19.
The feature would use the iPhone's Translate app to detect, process, and relay translations between two languages in real-time.
Audio from one language would be translated and played through the AirPods, while the iPhone speaker would provide translations for the other person.
This functionality is not unique, as competitors like Google Pixel Buds and other brands already offer similar translation capabilities.
Apple's approach may emphasize privacy and on-device processing, aligning with its broader commitment to user data security.
