We recently heard that Apple released their first beta of iOS 12.2 and now it has revealed some exciting details about the new Apple AirPods 2.
According to 9to5Mac, the new Apple AirPods 2 will support Apple’s Hey Siri feature. They have discovered a Hey Siri setup interface which will work seamlessly with Apple’s AirPods 2.
Enhanced Siri Integration
This Hey Siri feature will allow you to use your new AirPods with your iPhone to talk to Siri. This will work in the same way that Hey Siri works on the iPhone, enabling hands-free voice commands. This means you can simply say “Hey Siri” to activate the virtual assistant without needing to tap on your AirPods or iPhone. This feature is particularly useful for those who are always on the go and need to access Siri quickly and efficiently. For example, you can ask Siri to play your favorite song, check the weather, or even send a text message, all without lifting a finger.
Anticipated Launch and Additional Features
This new feature in iOS 12.2 beta 1 suggests that Apple will launch their second-generation Apple AirPods sometime soon. We suspect that they will either launch sometime in February or in early March. We heard yesterday that they would launch in the first half of 2019. As soon as we get some more details, we will let you guys know.
In addition to the Hey Siri feature, there are rumors that the new AirPods 2 will come with improved sound quality and better battery life. Some reports suggest that the new AirPods will feature a new coating that will make them more resistant to sweat and water, making them ideal for workouts and outdoor activities. There are also speculations about the inclusion of health monitoring features, such as heart rate sensors, which would align with Apple’s focus on health and fitness.
Moreover, the new AirPods 2 are expected to come with a wireless charging case, which would be compatible with Apple’s AirPower charging mat. This would make charging your AirPods even more convenient, as you could simply place the case on the charging mat without needing to plug in any cables.
The integration of these new features indicates that Apple is continuing to innovate and improve its products to meet the needs and expectations of its users. The addition of Hey Siri and other potential enhancements will likely make the AirPods 2 a must-have accessory for Apple enthusiasts.
