iPhone 17 & AirPods Pro 2: Live German-to-English Translation Demo

Pete Cooper demonstrates German-to-English live translation using an iPhone and AirPods. He begins with the everyday problem of being among people who speak a language you do not understand, drawing on his experience living in Finland and travelling.

The demonstration tests a feature that can make multilingual conversations more accessible in the moment. Cooper also considers its limitations rather than treating it as science-fiction-level understanding. The video is a practical look at what the device-based translation experience feels like, where it appears helpful and where a user should still expect gaps.
