Apple provides insights into limitations of Bluetooth, feature set of AirPods 3

Washington: American tech giant Apple’s vice president of acoustics Gary Geaves recently provided some interesting insight into the limitations of Bluetooth and the feature set of the AirPods 3.

Apple in October introduced the redesigned third-generation AirPods, which have an updated design, Adaptive EQ support, spatial audio, and other new features. To explain some of the design decisions Apple made with the AirPods 3, Apple’s vice president of acoustics Gary Geaves appeared in an interview with an outlet and provided some interesting insight into the limitations of Bluetooth and the feature set of the AirPods 3, as per Mac Rumours.

Geaves said AirPods 3 were built entirely with custom-made components, using nothing “off the shelf.” Apple is using a “complicated acoustic system,” “carefully tuned bass port,” and a “brand new, custom amplifier” all in the name of the best possible sound quality. Apple can optimize for sound with hardware components.
