Apple is adding a camera remote and upgrading audio recording on AirPods


AirPods are getting built-in camera control features that allow you to snap photos or control video recording.

Apple's WWDC isn't usually known for a lot of a hardware news, but the company previewed a couple intriguing updates coming to AirPods with its latest batch of software updates. With the update, users will be able to control the camera on iPhone, iPads and compatible third-party camera apps by pressing and holding on the stems of their AirPods. According to Apple, the change will allow "interviewers, podcasters, singers, and other creators can record their content with greater sound quality" even in noisy environments.
