Apple has unveiled enhanced sound quality and two new Siri gestures for AirPods at its WWDC conference in San Francisco.
The company showed two gestures powered by the Apple AirPods accelerometer — nod for “yes” and shake for “no.” The company said the feature was useful for situations where it wasn’t feasible to talk to Siri. Apple showed a video of a man in a crowded elevator shaking his head to reject a call from his grandmother.
