The first is the translation live via Airpods. This would allow users to hear translations of spoken conversations in real time using their airpods. It could be a useful tool for traveling or speaking with people who speak another language.

We do not know why Apple has chosen not to highlight these features during the speech, but this may be due to the fact that the company wants to avoid promising everything that is not ready. Last year, several WWDC announcements were delayed after the event, which probably led to a more cautious approach this time.
Even without an advertisement, these two features could be significant for many users. Live translation by Airpod could improve daily communication, especially for frequent travelers. And automatic Wi-Fi synchronization is a small change that could make a big difference in convenience.
From what Gurman reports, the two features should always arrive with iOS 26 Or in an update shortly after its release. They also show how Apple continues to focus on improving how its devices work together in daily situations.
These types of updates may not be flashy, but they add real value to the user experience. We will keep an eye to see when they are officially deployed in the future iOS 26 Beta or public updates.
