When my wife and I travel, we usually watch shows and movies on our flight, but we always have to split a set of AirPods. So while one of our ears is enjoying the show, the other is forced to endure the crying baby behind us on the plane. But thanks to Apple’s Audio Sharing feature, we can enjoy a show together while using our own sets of AirPods, AirPods Pro or other headphones. Apple introduced Audio Sharing with iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 in 2024. It allows two pairs of compatible AirPods or Beats headphones to pair with a…
Canada’s B2B market is mature, competitive, and underserved by agencies that actually understand it. Here’s a list of the ones that do.
