INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Audio sharing is among the more delightful features arriving as part of Apple iOS 13 update
With it, users will be able to share songs across nearby devices — a sort of 2019 version of buying a headphone splitter or handing
Beats pinged TechCrunch this morning to let us know that the new addition will be arriving on a number of its new headphones, in addition
This is no surprise, really, given that the company was swallowed up by Apple some years ago
It a nice little bonus for those who own H1 and W1-powered models, including Powerbeats Pro (my headphone of choice, of late), Studio3
Wireless, BeatsX, Powerbeats3 Wireless and Solo3 Wireless.
The feature works in one of two ways
Users can either put two iOS devices in close proximity and play music from a number of different sources
From there, a Share Audio dialogue box pops up, similar to the one you&ll see during the initial pairing process
Tapping Share Audio will do just that
The other method involves pairing two pairs of headphones to a single device
It the better of the two options if you don''t have access to two devices, but even with Apple tech, it can still be a bit of a pain
switching between products
Either way, it a fun option for sharing playlists on a long commute
The feature arrives on September 23
