iOS 27 gives AirPods custom EQ and heart rate sync

Each new iOS update comes with new features for existing AirPods, but this year’s announcements were a little light …

Apple has announced only two new features

  • Custom EQ to personalize sound
  • Apple GymKit can sync heart rate data through iPhone (AirPods Pro 3)

The announcement gets just a single bullet point in the iOS 27 features.

AirPods users can now enjoy custom EQ to further personalize how their AirPods sound. And with expanded Apple GymKit functionality, users with AirPods Pro 3 can sync their heart rate data through iPhone while enjoying incredible audio quality.

It looks like more Apple Intelligence features may need to wait for future models.
