**Upcoming AirPods Updates and Features**

As we approach the release of iOS 18 alongside the fourth-generation AirPods, fans of Apple's wireless earbuds are eagerly awaiting new features and updates. In this article, we'll explore what to expect from the next generation of AirPods and the software that will come with them.

**AirPods Fourth Generation and USBC**

The latest rumor suggests that the fourth-generation AirPods will feature a USB-C port, marking a significant departure from the Lightning port used in previous models. This change is expected to bring faster charging speeds and potentially more power-efficient performance. The new design and technology improvements are also expected to enhance sound quality, making them an attractive option for music lovers and audiophiles.

**AirPods Light: A More Affordable Option**

Rumors have been circulating about a more affordable version of AirPods, dubbed "AirPods Light." This entry-level pair is designed to offer many of the features that make AirPods popular, at a lower price point. The AirPods Light is expected to be available alongside the fourth-generation AirPods and new iPhones in the September-October time frame, with a price tag of $179, comparable to the current third-generation AirPods.

**iOS 18: AI Integration and Hearing Aid Features**

With the release of iOS 18, Apple is rumored to be integrating more artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities into its wireless earbuds. This includes features like improved sound quality, conversation boost, transparency mode, and noise cancellation. The iPhone's Accessibility settings will likely play a significant role in these updates, allowing users to customize their listening experience.

One exciting feature that has been hinted at is the ability for AirPods to serve as hearing aid devices. Apple is reportedly working on enabling this functionality within iOS 18, which would allow users to select their AirPods as a hearing aid option within the Settings app. This could be a game-changer for individuals who rely on hearing aids or have difficulty with traditional hearing aids.

**Special Ear Tips and Jailbreak Tweak: AirPods Companion**

In addition to these software updates, Apple may also introduce special ear tips designed specifically for use as hearing aid devices. These custom-fit ear tips would provide improved sound quality and comfort for users who need them.

For those interested in exploring the capabilities of their AirPods beyond the standard settings, there's a jailbreak tweak called "AirPods Companion" that offers a range of features. This tweak allows users to control and switch through different AirPods modes directly from the volume HUD (Heads-Up Display). With this tweak, users can quickly switch between different sound settings or even test their hearing aid compatibility within the Settings app.

In conclusion, with iOS 18 set to release alongside the fourth-generation AirPods, fans of Apple's wireless earbuds are in for a treat. From improved sound quality and AI-driven features to more affordable options like the rumored AirPods Light, this is shaping up to be an exciting year for AirPods enthusiasts.

with you and you can go ahead and use them on the go as well well great design and I really love the flick lock case so check out ESR and all their products available in the description down below thank you to ESR for sponsoring today's video so now I want to shift my attention over to airpods airpods fourth generation are rumored to be launching this year as well so if you're in the market for the standard airpod models a new upgrade will be available hopefully sometime later this year as well rumors indicate that the fourth generation airpods will feature USBC they'll also have a sces upgraded internals and sound quality with an expected release date around the September October time frame as well and at same price at $1 179 just like the third generation airpods now with the fourth generation airpods Apple is rumored to be working alongside hearing aid companies to bring hearing aid features and functionality to the fourth generation airpods and I also heard that Apple could be featuring special ear tips for certain airpods if you decide to use or need to use airpods as hearing aid devices with iOS 18 of course the new software update coming later this year alongside the fourth generation airpod so yeah expect USBC for new airpods expect of course upgraded internals and sound quality September October time frame same price as the third generation of course at $179 now apple is also rumored to be working on a more affordable version of the airpods dubbed at the airpods light now the airpods light would be an entirely new category that Apple has been working on for quite some time we've been hearing about airpods light for a very very long time by the way that's not exactly the name that Apple will most likely choose but it will be a more affordable entrylevel pair of airpods that allows you to get a lot of the airpods feature at a more affordable price we also heard that the time frame for the release of airpods light should be around the September time frame as well alongside the new iPhones now going to go and shift my attention over to software features this is the part that I really like because Apple could be doing a whole lot this year with AI we already know that they're working hard on a lot of AI integration for iOS 18 and this will most likely trigger down over to airpods iOS 18 will most likely feature AI integration for a lot of things but for airpods AI could be used to improve sound quality it could also be used to improve conversation boost a feature for airpods pro that's already available it could even improve noise cancellation for airpods with this feature I mean AI could be used across the board even Siri improvements for airpods so a lot of AI integration will most likely become available for airpods later this year as a firmware update to improve a lot of this features available for airpods as I mentioned noise cancellation transparency mode conversation boost and so much more now another feature we continue to hear about is the fact that Apple may be working on allowing airpods to serve as hearing aids for users so apple is now currently in work to bringing this to the iPhone with iOS 18 and I think it's going to happen this year well you'll be able to go into settings and select your airpods and even have hearing aid test directly within your iPhone and use your airpods as hearing aid devices for yourself so if you ever need hearing aid device you can use your airpods you don't have to get an additional accessory to connect to your airpods if we go under accessibilities we already have some of this technology built in right here so hearing devices you see that we have the hear hearing aid compatibility devices perhaps a new pair of airpods will serve as hearing aids or existing airpods May feature this within iOS 18 I also heard that Apple could be working on special ear tips to go alongside this feature that could be coming later this year to airpods to serve as hearing aids now last but not least I want to share with you guys a jailbreak tweak called airpods companion and this jailbreak tweak allows you to control and switch through different airpods mode directly from the volume HUD so as you can see right there if I put the volume up and down I get these bubbles to control and switch through different modes as you can see right there so I can go ahead and press any mode that I want and switch right there right then and there quickly I think it's a great idea I'm not sure that Apple would do something like this but an improvement to UI for airpods is much needed a manual way to update airpods is also needed here so airpod companion lets you see the now playing the battery indicator may also show you can select which option you want as you can see right there I can do the battery I can do the volume and I think it's a really cool jailbreak tweak I would love to see something like this come to airpods I though I don't think Apple
