People are flooding to social media to weigh in on a new feature of Apple's new AirPods 4 unsure about how it'll look 'in public'.
Yesterday (September 9), Apple CEO Tim Cook took to the stage to unveil the latest generations of the company's technology at the 'It's Glowtime' event in Apple's campus in Cupertino, California.
And alongside lots of oohing and aahing over the latest iPhone - the iPhone 16 - the latest version of Apple's AirPods - the AirPods 4 - was revealed too.

On Apple's website, it introduces the AirPods 4 as 'delivering a massive improvement in sound quality' featuring an 'entirely new acoustic architecture, low-distortion driver, and high dynamic range amplifier' alongside the addition of 'Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for the most immersive media experience'.
It continues: "With the H2 chip, AirPods 4 unlock intelligent audio experiences only Apple silicon can deliver, such as Voice Isolation, enabling clearer call quality no matter the environmental conditions."
Oh, and with the help of Siri Interactions, users can 'simply nod their head yes or gently shake their head no to respond to Siri announcements' - including whether or not to answer or reject an incoming call.
Apple's newsroom detailed back in June, 2024: "With Siri Interactions, that experience gets even more personal, private, and convenient. AirPods Pro users will be able to simply nod their head yes or gently shake their head no to respond to Siri announcements, which is particularly helpful in crowded or quiet areas where they may not want to speak out loud.
"Enabled by machine learning on the H2 chip, Siri Interactions allow users to answer or dismiss calls, interact with messages, manage notifications, and so much more - all without speaking."
And it's not taken long for people to weigh in online.
Multiple Twitter users shared videos of people waving their heads violently side-to-side.
One responded: "I just snorted holy."
A second added: "But If I answered a call like this, I would look weird outside…"
Another echoed: "This is gonna look so funny in public."
Someone else commented: "Me rejecting every call."
A final joked: "So not only can I look like I’m talking to myself but I can nod to myself too!"
The iPhone 16 series alongside the latest AirPods - including the 4s - are set to go on sale later this month, however you can preorder them today.
You’ll be able to shop the AirPods 4 at the likes of Amazon US.
