Apple is preparing to change the screen where AirPods and AirPods Pro users access the settings with iOS 27. In the new arrangement, a separate AirPods application is not expected, headphone settings will still be located in the Settings application. However, it is reported that the current menu structure will be renewed with a more functional, more organized and simpler interface. AirPods settings become more organized with iOS 27.
The AirPods settings screen automatically appears at the top of the Settings application when there is an AirPods model connected to the iPhone. Through this screen, Apple provides access to noise control, touch or pressing controls, ear detection, microphone selection and advanced features that vary from model to model. Over time, the menu structure has become more dense as new software features added to the AirPods product family have been added to the same basic settings screen.
According to the new report, Apple is seriously changing the layout of this screen with iOS 27. It is stated that the AirPods menu will switch to a more functional, better organized and simpler design. This change will be more visible due to the increased number of features, especially on AirPods Pro models. In recent years, new options such as head movement control, hearing support features, and sleep detection have been added to the AirPods experience.
All of these options have been largely located within the same settings screen to date. There are separate auxiliary applications on iPhone for Apple Watch and Vision Pro. The same approach is not expected on the AirPods side. According to the information provided, Apple will not offer a standalone application for AirPods and will continue to keep headphone management within the Settings application. The change will come through a redesign of the existing AirPods settings screen, instead of a standalone application.
It is also stated that the renewed AirPods settings interface will not be limited to iPhone only. According to information from Bloomberg, the changes will be offered in iPadOS 27 and macOS 27, as well as iOS 27. Thus, AirPods settings are expected to have a more consistent structure on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Apple will introduce its new operating systems at WWDC 2026. According to the company’s official calendar, the WWDC 2026 opening presentation will be held on Monday, June 8 at 10 a.m.
PT. Apple will show the latest software and technology updates to its platforms at the event. A major innovation is expected not only for the AirPods settings screen but also for Siri on the iOS 27 side. One of the main topics of the new operating systems will be the Siri design, which approaches a more modern chat bot experience and is supported by new artificial intelligence models.
