Do the Airpods have the potential for more tap controls in future software updates? Or is it kind of limited to what we have now?
After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
Do the Airpods have the potential for more tap controls in future software updates? Or is it kind of limited to what we have now?
Hopefully the next model Airpods will have a touch sensitive strip down each one that you could slide up and down to adjust volume on.
They absolutely have the potential for additional functions via taps and software changes. They could do one tap for play/pause, two taps for Siri, then three Up and four down volume.
That is all software based so all they need is an update to make the changes.
