iOS 16 is slated to bring a wide assortment of feature additions and changes, but AirPods users will be pleased to learn that Apple has consolidated the headphone settings page to make it easier to use. The tech giant first announced the upcoming software release in June at the Worldwide Developers Conference, an event focused on developers and software. It won't make its way to all users until later this fall, but public and developer betas help shed light on the changes. Although many of the upgrades are touted by Apple through keynotes and release notes, some are smaller and go unannounced. For example, the company hasn't officially mentioned the changes to AirPods settings, but it is one of the most useful changes in daily use.
The main selling point of AirPods is their convenience and integration with devices in the Apple ecosystem. There are three models of AirPods — the standard third-generation AirPods, the AirPods Pro and the AirPods Max — that are each best suited for different uses. Regardless of the model, all three pairs of AirPods feature integration with Apple products, including fast pairing and automatic device switching.

However, with the new menu front and center in iOS 16, it's easy to play around with AirPods settings and find the suitable configuration for each user.
