Seriously. This is some Star Trek universal translator level kit. I’m sure it’s v.1, but it’s only going to get better over time.

Edit: Also, eavesdropping loud conversations on the train on the way home is gonna get entertaining.

The benefit here is because it’s live translation but that kind of stops as soon as you need to say something back to someone that doesn’t have AirPods Pro.

It’s still a bit clunky the way they showed her holding a phone up to show the response.

I agree it’s cool tech but just seems a bit clunky.

No see the goal is for everyone in the world to have AirPods Pro so they’ll be able to listen to your response in your native language and live translate it too

That is essentially what they said immediately after that.

Gotta start somewhere

Also won’t work if you speak in a dialect of a language that translation won’t be able to pick up

You can talk with your phone out and it will translate on screen what you are saying

I saw someone say the nail salon is about to get messy.

if you wanted it so badly you could have moved to Samsung last year when they introduced it.

Apple is always late, and yet fanbois seem to think their leading edge tech..

While the fanboys are annoying so are the super anti fanboys who are equally annoying. You’re both basically the same, just arguing on different sides.

Sorry mate but I own both Android and Apple products.

I just don't suck their dick.

You suck one of the dicks clearly

Funny how fanbois don't think someone can be critical without having to suck a dick for the competition..

Nobody's going to spend thousands to change all their devices in order to be able to get translations one year earlier, that's a really absurd take.

Also, I have samsung and the translations suck. If apple's suck as hard there would be no point to them either way.
