AirPods get new features just like every other Apple device, including big additions like Live Translation and Hearing Aid. And in iOS 27, the new Siri AI is set to make AirPods better than ever.
Event Context
iOS 27 adds new features for CarPlay, Apple Notes, Messages, Wallet, and a lot more.
The update also includes some new AirPods features: custom EQ and GymKit support. AirPods settings have also been revamped with a new design and layout.
But the single biggest AirPods upgrade in iOS 27 is easily set to be the new Siri.
When Apple demoed Siri AI during the WWDC keynote, it focused on iPhone primarily, but clarified an important detail: “All these updates to Siri extend to CarPlay as well as AirPods.”
Player Focus
That means AirPods users are about to benefit from a much smarter, more powerful AI assistant than ever before.
It’s still early in the iOS 27 beta, but with everything I’ve seen so far of Siri AI, I’m excited to finally have a more powerful assistant—and even more reason to wear AirPods every day.
Match Outlook
Siri and AirPods have always been a great match. But it’s not hard to imagine how much more useful AirPods will be with all these new capabilities.
