iOS 18.2 supercharges AirPods with key Apple Intelligence upgrade
Apple’s latest iOS 18.1 update has significantly enhanced the capabilities of the AirPods Pro 2 with the introduction of Hearing Aid, Hearing Test, and Hearing Protection features. However, the upcoming iOS 18.2 update promises to further revolutionize the AirPods experience by integrating advanced Apple Intelligence features.
Ryan Christoffel for 9to5Mac:
Apple Intelligence launched in iOS 18.1, but some of its most highly anticipated new features are coming in iOS 18.2.
One such feature is ChatGPT integration with Siri… [O]ne of the many tidbits we learned when the first iOS 18.2 beta shipped is that ChatGPT can be your go-to assistant for any Siri request.
iOS 18.2 lets you say ‘Ask ChatGPT’ at the start of your Siri request to have it immediately sent to ChatGPT. Which can make your AirPods experience a whole lot like the movie Her…
None of the ChatGPT interactions through Siri and Apple Intelligence require AirPods. You can do it all on your iPhone or iPad, or in many cases with another pair of headphones. But doing all of this with AirPods feels like the future. And provides yet another reason to keep AirPods in your ears as often as possible.
MacDailyNews Take: With a Siri that’s equipped with awareness of your personal context, the ability to take action in and across apps, and product knowledge about your devices’ features and settings, we may finally be on the cusp of a truly usable Siri that not only competes with other personal digital assistants, but actually bests them and, as a result, sells more iPhones, AirPods, iPads, and Macs!
