Apple AirPods Max with the latest firmware 5A304a have received an adaptive transparency toggle in AirPods Max settings in both iOS 16.1 beta and iPadOS 16.1, according to MacRumors.
AirPods Pro 2 are powered by the new H2 chip and offer longer battery life, a new charging case and a new earbud size to better fit the wearer's ear shape. Users can charge AirPods Pro using the Apple Watch charger, Qi-certified charger, and MagSafe.
The adaptive transparency mode can significantly reduce the intensity of loud sounds such as whistles, sirens, or power tools, while still allowing users to hear ambient sound well. Apple claimed that it was the H2 chip that provided the adaptive transparency mode.
Apple iOS 16.1 also adds a battery percentage for more iPhone models such as the iPhone 11 and iPhone 13 mini.
