AirPods Pro 3 keep getting better, here’s what’s new in iOS 27

With the release of iOS 27, Apple has brought a host of new features to the AirPods Pro 3, enhancing the user experience in various ways. One of the most significant additions is the Custom EQ feature, which allows users to set their own personalized sound profile. This feature enables users to adjust the sound for low, mid, and high frequencies according to their preferences, catering to individual hearing needs and preferences.

Custom EQ is now available on multiple AirPods models, including AirPods Pro 3, Pro 2, Max 2, 5, and 4.

Another notable upgrade is the integration of Apple GymKit into AirPods Pro 3. This feature enables users to connect their AirPods Pro 3 to compatible cardio equipment using the AirPods Pro 3's built-in heart rate sensor. Once connected, the treadmill or other equipment can receive heart rate data from the AirPods, while the iPhone records and stores workout data privately, ensuring user privacy.

The data includes details like distance, pace, incline, and calorie burn. This collaboration between AirPods Pro 3, iPhone, and the equipment provides a more comprehensive workout tracking experience.

Perhaps the most noteworthy update of iOS 27 for AirPods Pro 3 is the integration of Siri AI. With iOS 27, Siri's artificial intelligence capabilities are now available for AirPods users, transforming the earbuds into an AI wearable device. Siri AI offers a range of advanced features, such as the ability to perform tasks, answer queries, and provide assistance, all through AirPods.

This enhancement makes AirPods Pro 3 an integral part of the Apple ecosystem, enabling users to interact with their devices more intuitively and efficiently.

Lastly, Apple has revamped the AirPods settings screen in iOS 27, providing users with a more organized and intuitive user interface. The settings have been reorganized into categories and submenus, accompanied by colorful icons, making it easier for users to navigate and find the necessary settings. This redesign improves the overall user experience by reducing clutter and enhancing the accessibility of the various AirPods settings.
