Of all the new iOS 26 features that Apple previewed at WWDC in June, AirPods updates were only briefly mentioned. Studio-quality audio recording and improved call clarity got top billing, while the addition of a camera remote control was also quickly discussed. However, when the beta software arrived last week, it turned out there were actually more features than described at the event, making this a meatier update for Apple’s recent AirPods than initially indicated.

Software is a creative endeavor and a craft. And like any creative endeavor and any craft, it is subject to fashions.

Some of these applications are now up for their Rails upgrade and an “oil change,” and it’s interesting to see them in the wild and how they get perceived through the lens of the years that have gone by since then.
