Apple is preparing a real-world live translation feature for AirPods, spotted in iOS 26 beta 6 as a gesture triggered by pressing both stems on AirPods Pro (2nd gen) or AirPods (4th gen). Linked to the Translate app, it would extend Live Translation beyond FaceTime, calls, and messages to in-person conversations. The feature will likely require a compatible iPhone, possibly the iPhone 17 series, due to low-latency needs.
