The Short Version
iOS 27, arriving fall 2026, adds custom EQ to AirPods 4, Pro 3, and Max 2, plus GymKit workout tracking without an Apple Watch.
Apple is adding custom EQ to AirPods 4, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods Max 2 in iOS 27, arriving fall 2026, letting users manually adjust bass, mids, and treble for the first time. Competing headphone brands have offered this for years. The catch: only three handles, no saved profiles, and Apple's own page leaves model compatibility vague. AirPods Pro 3 also picks up GymKit workout tracking without a Watch. Better late than never, Apple.
