There was a lot to get excited about at this year's WWDC, from the new Macs to the finally unveiled Apple Vision Pro (whose name perhaps needs re-workshopping, although we’re now likely to see Vision Pro devices for the next 10 years if all goes well). There were also some slightly underwhelming updates, in the form of iOS 17, iPadOS 17, and MacOS 14. The focus lay this year on Widgets, and not much else – unless, that is, you own a pair of AirPods Pro.
Where iPhone users and iPad users get a few useful new features and Mac owners are placated with widgets on their desktops, AirPods users are getting some genuinely very cool new audio features that might just change the way we view noise canceling, and how we wear our earbuds. Best of all, it looks like we’ll be getting the upgrades for free too — provided you’ve got a compatible pair of AirPods to use them with.
