Apple introduced studio-quality audio recording and camera remote capabilities for AirPods 4, AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, and AirPods Pro 2.
The new features allow users to record high-quality vocals on the go, control video recordings remotely, and enjoy clearer calls with enhanced voice quality.
These updates leverage the H2 chip, beamforming microphones, and computational audio to provide natural vocal texture and clarity across various Apple devices and apps.
The features are currently available for testing through the Apple Developer Program, with a public beta planned for next month and a full release scheduled for this fall as a free firmware update with iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26.
