What if your AirPods could log you into all of your apps?
When Apple launched the first-gen AirPods after removing the 3.5mm headphone jack from the iPhone, it revolutionized the industry. Most smartphone vendors now sell their own premium wireless earbuds as a result. There are many options across a wide range of price points, from high-end Pro models to entry-level devices that do the bare minimum.
Most people you see outside wear wireless earbuds rather than wired versions or actual headphones. Device makers also continue to develop exciting new features for wireless earphones, including health and AI functionality.
But one thing your AirPods can't do is provide passive, continuous authentication for devices and apps. At least not yet. Apple isn't necessarily building such capabilities into its AirPods, but researchers are studying ways to turn wearables into authenticators.
