Apple AirPods Studio were already rumored to be dissimilar any other AirPods we've ever seen, cheers to their over-ear pattern. But a newly published patent shows how Apple tree might give the Studios the smarts to compete with (and beat out) the Bose 700.

While nosotros'd already heard that Apple tree was working on touch-sensitive surfaces for the ear-cups, this latest trick shows how Apple tree plans to make those surfaces even smarter.

According to a newly published Apple patent titled "Detection of headphone rotation," found past Patently Apple tree, the Cupertino-based company is toying with a engineering science that allows your headphones know the position they're in. This could allow the AirPods Studio to suit how those impact inputs on the sides work based on how you lot're wearing them.

That mode, AirPods Studio would have the aforementioned reaction for users swiping in different directions on the headphones. Most of those gestures are obvious too: two fingers frontward would skip a track, two fingers back would rewind, and two fingers up and downwards could raise and lower volume.

This will be a helpful trick (if information technology comes to fruition -- and not all patents do), every bit nosotros don't all wear our headphones the same mode. I've seen it endless times in the past, noticing AirPods sticking out of people's ears in all directions, and over-ear headphones worn with the band on the top of the head, diagonally pointing away and horizontally.

The aforementioned Bose 700 headphones likewise offer gesture controls, but they tin't intuit the position the headphones are in.

Co-ordinate to a leak from this past May, AirPods Studio may be coming any mean solar day now, having entered mass production earlier this year. Would Apple time them to its fall iPhone 12 event, or save them for after? As a fan of both over-ear headphones and AirPods, I can say I would not be surprised if that fall/winter release happens, as they seem like a prime number vacation gift.
