Apple’s Sneaky AirPods Update: They’re Beta Testing Your Ears (Probably)!
So, Apple’s at it again, folks. They dropped a new “beta” firmware for the AirPods Pro 2, both the old-school Lightning connector and the fancy new USB-C versions. Now, what’s in this magical update? They ain’t sayin’. It’s a secret! But rumor has it, they’re working on turning those pricey earbuds into hearing aids. Yep, you heard me right. Hearing aids!
Now, who gets to be part of this exclusive beta program? Developers, of course. The chosen few. But don’t worry, folks, if you shelled out the big bucks for these AirPods, they say it’ll eventually trickle down to us regular folks.
So what does this mean? Well, maybe Apple’s trying to corner the market on hearing assistance. Maybe they’re just trying to add more features to justify the price tag. Or maybe, just maybe, they’re tired of us blasting our music so loud, we can’t hear anything else.
Who knows? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure, Apple’s always got something up their sleeve. And this time, it might be your ear canal.
