💸 New AirPods Pro features in iOS 18

New features for the AirPods Pro should arrive after the release of iOS 📱 and will be available on both the first- and second-generation models.

🗺 Head gestures to interact with Siri
This feature will allow users to answer or decline calls with a simple nod or shake of the head. Additionally, Siri Interactions will enable users to handle calls, messages, notifications, and more, all without speaking.

💨 Voice isolation for better calling
Apple's iPhones have a calling feature that makes the user's voice clearer to the person they're speaking to, even in a noisy environment. With iOS 18, Apple is adding Voice Isolation to the AirPods Pro to reduce loud background sounds. Typically, the microphones on AirPods Pro pick up a wide range of environmental sounds, such as wind around the caller. However, with Voice Isolation, machine learning will identify these sounds, block out ambient noise nd prioritise your voice for clearer communication.

🎮 Personalized Spatial Audio for gaming
This featire will offer the immersive audio experience customers enjoy while listening to music or watching movies and shows. Additionally, game developers can integrate spatial audio into their games for a more immersive audio experience.

🔉 More control over Adaptive Audio Control
Second-generation AirPods Pro feature Adaptive Audio, known as Adaptive Noise Control, which adjusts sound and active noise cancellation based on your environment. Currently, Adaptive Audio is an all-or-nothing setting, but Apple may introduce a "Customize Adaptive Audio" menu that may allow users to fine-tune the setting to permit more or less noise.

🦻Hearing Aid mode for improved accessibility
AirPods Pro may receive a new "hearing aid mode" with the release of iOS 18 later this year. While AirPods Pro already include a Conversation Boost feature that enhance the volume and clarity of voices directly in front of the wearer, Apple has not yet marketed the earbuds as a hearing aid device.

📱 code suggests all iPhone 16 models will use same A18 chip

📱Code references found in Apple's backend reveal that the company is working on five new iPhone models that will likely use the same A18 chip.

The code references were shared with MacRumors. They reveal the following iPhone identifiers:
・ iPhone17,1
・ iPhone17,2
・ iPhone17,3
・ iPhone17,4
・ iPhone17,5

Apple typically uses identifiers that line up with the chip used. For example, the iPhone models with an A14 chip have a 13,x identifier. iPhone models with an A15 chip have 14,x identifier, and so on.

This year's iPhone 15 lineup has the following identifiers:
・‌ iPhone 15‌ - ‌iPhone 15‌,4
・ iPhone 15‌ Plus - ‌iPhone 15‌,5
・ iPhone 15 Pro - ‌iPhone 16‌,1
・ iPhone 15 Pro‌ Max - ‌iPhone 16‌,2

The Pro models with the A17 chip have 16,x identifiers; whereas, the basic models with A16 have 15,x identifiers.

If Apple continues with its current numbering scheme, all new iPhone models will likely feature the A18 chip. The first four models expected are the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The fifth model is uncertain but could potentially be the long-awaited new iPhone SE.

Apple might choose to use the same chip across all models to power the introduction of its new AI capabilities. However, it is anticipated that the Pro and Pro Max models will feature a slightly more powerful version of the chip, possibly an A18 Pro with additional GPU cores.

🔜 The iPhone 16 lineup will be unveiled at a special event in September.

✔️ The correct answer to yesterday's quiz: Swift

🧑🏻‍💻 It's a general-purpose programming language, accessible to beginners and powerful to experts. The creator of the language is Apple. According to the statements of official representatives, Swift was laid in the NeXT platform, which was released in the early 90s. The platform became the progenitor of modern iOS and macOS.

🎉 This year the language turns 10 years old! At WWDC24, a new version of Swift 6 was unveiled.

💻 It includes compatibility with C and C++, improved debugging, secure data transfer in processes, fast item processing, cloud tools, Swift Assist with AI for programming, Swift Testing for code exploration, a fresh SwiftUI, and new features in Swift Data.

📱 The new SwiftUI features based on the new Swift 6 can be seen in the presentation video that Apple published for developers. From this material, we can see what UI innovations we will soon see inside Apple's fresh systems and third-party apps. Developers will find it useful to take a closer look at the new features to enhance the capabilities of their apps.

🔜 P.S. We'll tell you about the new Swift Assist tomorrow.

❤️ Leak confirms Apple's work on 'Home Accessory'

Code discovered on Apple's backend by MacRumors confirms Apple is indeed working on a long-rumored home accessory in addition to the HomePod and Apple TV.

The device runs on a chip A18 and has support for a variation of tvOS, probably homeOS – a new system that may be intended for a device that combines a display and HomePod. The model number of such a device is as follows:
・HomeAccessory17,1

For reference, the HomePod has an AudioAccessory ID, meaning it will be something brand new. And with the A18 chip, a device with the working name HomeAccessory could have the power to run Apple Intelligence.

This also converges with early rumors that HomePods won't get support for the new Siri due to unsuitable hardware.

Also found in the code are the numbers of two previously unreleased Apple TV models running on A15 and expected in 2024. It's likely, but not certain, that these are new cheaper models:
・AppleTV14.4
・AppleTV14.5
