The AirPods In all its range of devices it has become a very exploitable product by Apple. The great technological innovations that are added by the hand of iOS, iPadOS and macOS make the AirPods evolve to new functions with the same hardware. This is possible thanks to a forecast of the functions to be launched from Cupertino. The next step from Apple HQ is release beta versions of AirPods Pro firmware for developers, in order to share the news prior to the official launch and improve their optimization.
Apple turns attention to developers: a new movement, the AirPods Pro
The beta version of the firmware for AirPods Pro will be available to members of the Apple Developer Program in the future. This will allow for feature development on iOS and macOS for AirPods, as well as enabling new features, such as Conversation Boost and Ambient Noise Reduction.
The future of AirPods happens by the incorporation of more sensors related to health and user monitoring. However, including these sensors makes the level of complexity of the firmware of the headphones increasingly complex and requires more testing. In addition, another field that Cupertino wants to exploit with great emphasis is improving the sound quality of the headphones adding new functions such as the Spatial Audio or the improvements in the conversations that will arrive with iOS 15.
For that and many other things, Apple wants to count on the developers once again. Thanks to a note published on the Big Apple developers website we can know that Firmware update betas for AirPods Pro will be released in the future. In a similar way to the rest of the programs, a beta profile will be made available to the developer to be able to download the betas and install them on their headphones in order to test, optimize and debug the updates.
