One new feature is that they will be able to translate conversations in foreign languages in real time. They cost $249, the same price as their predecessor.>normally no fucks about Apple releases, but I may need these.I have the Airpods Pro 2 currently, will get the 3s when they wear out.(which may be never because they are tough as shit)thoughts?
same.not in a hurry to buy earbuds that are essentially the same product i already have
>>106538746right? cannot wait to hear about how well they function from those that do purchase.translating foreign language in real time?these will make an impact on the world.
Use case? Go to a foreign country and hope that everyone there also wears airpods?
it'll be interesting to see if it can save it among zoomersmost of them are now using sony xm# headphones while its mostly only arabs/indians using airpods
>>106538774smartest Apple hater
>>106538690What exactly is the point of airpods translating for you? What are going to do, respond in english? Either you know the language or you still can’t communicate two ways even with airpods.
must have some insane optimizations to be able to run that AI software on the airpod itselfunless, of course, this is all just some massive cop out and it's just run on the connected iphone or in (((the cloud)))...
>>106538889not sure how they work, they just came out a few hours ago, I did not watch the presentation, nor have I read about them yet, just brief headline summaries.
>>106538690i don't speak to jeets or gooks so i have no use for this
>>106538690They don't do any translation, the phone does. You need two mics and two sets of speakers to do anything like this anyway. Only now the audio quality might be good enough, but you'll find out when your terrible iPhone Spanish causes Jose to clobber your dumb fucking gringo ass or not.
>>106538690>(which may be never because they are tough as shit)I've had the complete opposite experience. My airpods always end up failing on me. I've had to get 3 replacements (Thank god for Apple Care+).One side always gets worse than the other within the span of a couple months, and my ears are always cleaned.It ended up redpilling me on wired headphones.
>>106538940They said the LLM translates on the phone>>106538889You talk in English and your phone displays Spanish and you hold your phone out and let the other person seeIf the other person is blind or illiterate, then it can talk out loud
So does this mean these new airpods are constantly listening and sending audio to the phone, and then to the LLM which is constantly processing the spoken words to see if they're non-English and then translate?
