For several years, Elon Musk seems to have a grudge against Apple. In 2021, this criticized, for example, the closed system of the Cupertino company. Musk also attacked the batteries used by Apple the same year. And recently, when Apple presented Apple Intelligence and its ChatGPT integration (which Elon Musk also hates), the Tesla boss threatened to ban iPhones and Macs from his company. “If Apple integrates OpenAI at the operating system level, Apple devices will be banned from my companies. This is an unacceptable breach of security”he wrote on the social network
But recently, Elon Musk instead praised an Apple product, to everyone’s surprise. On Thanksgiving Day (November 28), Tim Cook shared a rather moving Apple commercial highlighting the hearing aid functionality built into the AirPods Pro 2. “I am very proud of the many teams at Apple who are developing powerful technologies that improve people’s lives. The AirPods Pro 2 hearing aid feature uses your personalized sound profile to help you hear the important moments”also wrote the Apple boss. And Elon Musk reacted to this publication by writing “That’s cool”.
And that’s not all, since, on the same day, Musk also reposted Tim Cook’s Thanksgiving message: “Thanksgiving is an opportunity to thank one another and hope for health and prosperity. This year, I’m grateful for the many opportunities available to me and the people in my life, including the Apple team, our users, and everyone who works to make the world a better place.”
A feature that can change people’s lives
In September, Apple announced the arrival of new hearing health features for its AirPods Pro 2, including an assistance feature.
“This new feature leverages the personalized hearing profile generated by the Hearing Test feature to transform AirPods Pro into a medical-grade hearing aid. Once configured, it makes personalized dynamic adjustments that increase the volume of ambient sounds in real time, helping users more easily participate in conversations and integrate into the world around them.indicated the Cupertino company.
Unfortunately, as our colleagues from 01net explain, we will have to wait until 2025 to take advantage of this new Apple feature in France.
