Will it come to other AirPods models?

One of the questions that many users, including us, ask is because Apple has only enabled this feature on AirPods Prowhen really there are many users who, in addition to this model of headphones, use both the first, second and third generation AirPods, as well as the popular AirPods Max.

From the outset, the reason could be in the fact that the first, second, and third generation AirPods do not have that ambient or transparency mode that, as a standard, already considerably amplifies the external sound to introduce it into the auditory pavilion. However, by that rule of three, the AirPods Max should be able to count on this function and the reality is just the opposite, they cannot offer it to users either.

In this way, the question remains as to whether the Cupertino company will make Conversation Boost, a function that for many users is really useful, also reach the rest of the AirPods modelsor who knows, if the subsequent updates of each of them, so as not to somehow force users who need or want to use it, to inevitably buy some AirPods Pro.
