Apple's AirPods may soon feature live translation capabilities, potentially arriving with iOS 26, according to a report by 9to5Mac. A beta version of the OS contains a system asset suggesting the addition of a language translation tool activated by pressing both earbud stems simultaneously. The asset depicts AirPods surrounded by words in various languages. This aligns with Apple's announcement of a Live Translation tool at WWDC25, though AirPods were not initially mentioned as a supported device. The feature could significantly enhance communication accessibility for users.
