Although we're not expecting to see any new hardware for the AirPods Pro 2 this year – the lesser AirPods will be getting USB-C and other improvements in 2024 but the next AirPods Pro refresh isn't reportedly planned until 2025 – it looks like the AirPods Pro series could be getting a massive feature upgrade in iOS 18 that could likely upset some existing audio companies.
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman as reported by 9to5Mac, this year's iOS 18 upgrade is going to bring a new Hearing Aid Mode to Apple's best AirPods. We've suspected something like that would be coming for some time now after Gurman said last year that a hearing test feature was in the works alongside other hearing health features.
