Apple has finally unveiled the much awaited successor to the Apple AirPods 3 along with the new iPhones. 

Apple has announced 2 variants of AirPods 4 - standard and ANC. The ANC or Active Noise Cancellation feature which was present only in the Pro range finally comes to the regular AirPods range but users have to a pay a slight premium over the standard AirPods 4 model. 

 

Brand New Design

 

Apple has unveiled the AirPods 4, touted as their best headphones to date, featuring an all-new open-ear design focused on enhancing fit and comfort. The design process utilized a vast dataset and cutting-edge tools, such as 3D photogrammetry and laser topography, to map and analyze thousands of ear shapes. With over 50 million data points collected, this innovation is designed to offer a more comfortable and universal fit for a wider range of users globally.

 

Improved Audio Quality

 

The AirPods 4 deliver a major leap in sound quality with a new acoustic architecture, low-distortion driver, and high dynamic range amplifier. They also feature Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for an immersive experience. Powered by the H2 chip, AirPods 4 offer intelligent audio features like Voice Isolation for clearer calls and head gestures to interact with Siri. A new force sensor on the stem lets users control media or mute calls with a quick press. Optimized for gaming, they provide low latency and support 16-bit, 48kHz audio for seamless communication.

 

Active Noise Cancellation 

AirPods 4 introduce ANC to an open-ear design for the first time. With enhanced microphones, the H2 chip, and advanced audio processing, they reduce environmental noise like engines and traffic. New features include Transparency mode for environmental awareness, Adaptive Audio that adjusts between Transparency and ANC based on surroundings, and Conversation Awareness, which lowers media volume when the user starts speaking.

 

Battery Life and Charging 

 

The AirPods 4 charging case now supports USB-C, is over 10% smaller, and still offers up to 30 hours of battery life. Users  can charge it via USB-C, an Apple Watch charger, or a Qi-certified charger

 

Availability

 

AirPods 4 are available for pre-order starting today, with availability in stores beginning Friday, September 20

      Safely Send Payments to Strangers or Loved Ones with Our New Feature!!

      Priyanka Sharma posted a topic in General Discussions,

      We’ve always stressed the importance of safety with online payments and sharing information to keep you scam-free. Our Caller ID, Spam Blocking, and Comments have already protected many users from scams. Now, we’re adding another layer of security with a new feature to ensure you’re sending money to legitimate people and companies.
       
      #StayCertain, Not Suspicious
       
      Imagine receiving a bill payment message from your electricity company. The number is flagged as spam, but you proceed anyway. A warning appears when you try to pay, indicating the number might be risky based on spam reports and comments. You pause, research the number on the app, and realize you almost sent money to a scammer.

      The “Check Before You Pay Online to Strangers” feature helps you make secure payments by providing real-time risk assessments. It clears your doubts before sending money, using spam reports and comments from other users on the profile. This feature is currently available only on Android.
       
      Steps to Make Every Payment Easy-Breezy and Risk-Free
      Head on over to the app You’ll find the Pay option in the detailed view of the profile You will get to select which app you wish to pay from
       

      You will be warned before making a payment to a number marked as spam, if you still wish to go ahead you click in agreement, and you proceed to pay.
      You can also use this feature for secure transactions and send money to trusted contacts and merchants within the app interface, streamlining your payment experience. Benefits of the “Check Before You Pay Online to Strangers” Feature:
      Be informed: Always stay one step ahead of scammers by checking what other users write about how they operate in the comments, before sending them any money. Making you the MVP of the online world. Say Hello to Safety:  We give you a real-time risk assessment, warning you about the number being high-risk, based on the spam reports the number has received over time. We want to make sure you take every precaution possible to keep your information safe from users. Indian Payment App Integration: We have collaborated and integrated popular payment apps in India to make it easier to send payments directly through the app to your friends and loved ones or when you are out shopping or paying an auto or cab driver.  Note: Truecaller only helps facilitate payments; please use your judgment when making a payment.

      Give this new feature a try we believe it will be a huge help. Please share your thoughts with us! Stay Certain and Safe.

    • Know Who’s Calling Even Before Your Phone Rings With Call Alerts!!

      Know Who’s Calling Even Before Your Phone Rings With Call Alerts!!

      Priyanka Sharma posted a topic in General Discussions,

      Identifying someone you know is about to call. Thanks to Truecaller’s Call Alerts feature, you won’t be the person everyone dreads at the cinema.
       
      How do Call Alerts Work?

      With the Call Alert feature, you can set your phone to silent if you want to ignore a call or move to a quieter place if you need to answer it. This feature uses Data/Wi-Fi to securely send an alert from the caller's phone to yours as soon as the call is made. Available only on Android.
       

       
      Steps to Enable Call Alerts On Android:
      Head over to the Truecaller app Go to Call Settings Under notifications Toggle on Call alert notifications
       
      For IOS:
      Enable push notifications for Truecaller on your iOS device settings to use Call Alert: 
      Go to Settings > Notifications > Truecaller > Toggle on the Sounds and Badges.
       
      Note: Call alerts only work for calls from Android devices with Truecaller installed. Calls from iOS devices won't trigger a Call alert.
       
      Fun Facts About this Feature
      Call alerts work only when a Truecaller user calls you. As Data/Wi-Fi is faster than a regular cellular network, the notification reaches you first, before an actual call comes through. Call alerts would require notification permission to work seamlessly on the app. Download Truecaller: https://tc.onelink.me/571208033/1fqyddvr 
       
      Enjoy every moment with Truecaller and give Call Alerts a try!! We would love to hear from you.
