The FDA has now approved the newest Apple Airpods as hearing aids, which comes as a software update by the tech company.

The iOS18 firmware update adds voice isolation and personalized volume, plus you can now tell Siri yes or no without uttering a sound.

Apple has squarely shifted its focus toward artificial intelligence with the unveiling of its hotly anticipated iPhone 16 along with a slew of features coming with the next update to the device's operating system.

Apple’s fall event brought new iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods, including iPhone 16 models with updated cameras and a new side button that lets you snap photos and videos with one hand. Wirecutter was on the ground at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, to cover all the news.

Hearing loss affects millions of people, but hearing aids have been expensive and sales have been dominated by a few companies. The new AirPods are going to challenge the status quo.

While the brand revealed a slate of products we can't wait to get our hands on (there's a teal iPhone 16!), the AirPods Pro 2 specifically made our jaws drop with an impressive new feature. Apple received approval from the U.

Apple announced that its devices will have two new health-related capabilities: your Apple Watch will soon be able to tell if you have sleep apnea, and your AirPods Pro 2 can now double as hearing aids for those who need them.

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are finally here. The earbuds are designed with the first OTC hearing aid and feature a scientifically validated hearing test.

Thanks to iOS 18, AirPods Pro are getting even better. We go hands-on with all of the new features for Apple's high-end earbuds.
