The Apple H1 renamed the earbud chip family for what it had become: a headphone computer. Debuting in 2019's second-generation AirPods, it answered "Hey Siri" hands-free, switched between devices twice as fast, and cut gaming latency by thirty percent — and in the first AirPods Pro it gained its defining job, running active noise cancellation in real time.
The H1 powered Apple's audio lineup for over three years across five products, the era in which AirPods became a business the size of a Fortune 500 company. Its real-time ANC workload is what the Apple H2 was built to extend into adaptive, health-aware listening.
