Refreshed iPhone photography technique through an innovative AirPods utilization unveiled by Apple
In an exciting development for iPhone photography enthusiasts, Apple is set to roll out a new camera control feature with its AirPods. This feature, teased by Apple in June, is expected to be available following the Apple launch event on September 9.
The feature, which will be compatible with AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2, allows users to control their camera remotely. This means you can say goodbye to awkward arm positions in selfies and reduce unintentional camera shake during long exposures.
The camera uses a three-second timer and takes ten photos, increasing the odds of a good shot with no blinks. To trigger a shot, users can choose to press a single time or hold the stem of their AirPods.
This feature is beyond the original rumors and Apple's brief mention of the capability. Developers have had access to early previews of iOS 26, providing a better glimpse at the feature. However, the specific AirPods models that will receive the new camera control feature with the iOS 26 update have not been explicitly listed.
Hillary K. Grigonis, the US coverage lead for Digital Camera World and an experienced writer about cameras and technology, has written the article providing information on this exciting development. Grigonis, who is a licensed drone pilot, has over a decade of experience in the field and has had her work published in various publications including Business Insider, Digital Trends, Pocket-lint, Rangefinder, The Phoblographer, and more.
Grigonis's wedding and portrait photography style favors a journalistic approach. She is a former Nikon shooter and a current Fujifilm user, but has tested a wide range of cameras and lenses across multiple brands.
The article also provides information on the best smartphones for photography and the best iPhone tripods. Using a remote control for cameras can help enhance your photography experience, and with the new AirPods feature, it's about to get even better.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new feature. The article is published by Digital Camera World, so be sure to check it out for more insights on all things photography.
