Apple held its second autumn conference in 2021 on Monday, announcing the launch of high-end MacBook Pro, self-developed chips and new AirPods headsets.
In addition, Apple also announced the integration of voice assistant Siri into Apple Music, launching the Apple Music “Voice Plan” package plan priced at $4.99 per month.
The difference with Apple’s other music subscription projects is that users can only access the Voice Plan through Siri, without advanced features such as spatial audio.
In addition, in order to cope with this adjustment, Apple also launched the third-generation AirPods wireless headset.
It adopts a brand-new design, upgraded a brand-new drive unit, and supports spatial audio with dynamic head tracking.
The battery life is extended to 6 hours, and it can be used for 1 hour after 5 minutes of fast charging. The price is US$179.
It should be noted that, according to Apple’s official information, the third-generation AirPods no longer support old mobile phones such as iPhone 6.
According to the specification page of the new AirPods on Apple’s official website, the third-generation AirPods does not support older models such as iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 5s.
In addition, they also dropped support for the iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 3 and the sixth-generation iPod touch.
