Apple announced at Apple Event 2025 that the new AirPods Pro 3 include an automatic translation feature in any language.

This feature uses artificial intelligence to provide real-time translation, allowing foreign languages ​​to be heard in the user's preferred language.

The experience is more complete when both speakers use AirPods Pro 3, although a program on the iPhone can also be used to translate what is said into the speaker's language.

AirPods Pro 3 will offer up to 8 hours of battery life on a single charge—two hours more than the previous generation—and up to 10 hours in Transparency mode. They will be priced at $249 and will be available starting September 19.
