The AirPods Pro 2 have just undergone a significant upgrade in iOS 18.1, introducing features like Hearing Aid, Hearing Test, and Hearing Protection. However, for many users, Apple’s upcoming update might be even more revolutionary, primarily due to a major upgrade in Apple Intelligence. Here’s how iOS 18.2 is set to enhance the capabilities of AirPods.
ChatGPT Integration with Siri: A True Game Changer
Apple Intelligence made its debut in iOS 18.1, but many eagerly awaited features will arrive with iOS 18.2.
Capturing attention is the new ChatGPT integration with Siri.
Having tested this AI feature for a few weeks, I believe it holds remarkable potential—especially when paired with AirPods.
Initially, during the showcase of ChatGPT integration, it appeared that users could only leverage OpenAI’s capabilities for specific requests. As Apple explained, Siri would excel in handling personal queries, while ChatGPT could provide assistance for general knowledge questions.
However, one intriguing detail revealed with the first iOS 18.2 beta was that ChatGPT can serve as your primary assistant for any request directed at Siri.
With iOS 18.2, simply saying ‘Ask ChatGPT’ at the beginning of your request sends it directly to ChatGPT.
This can transform your AirPods experience into something reminiscent of the film Her, featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson.
How iOS 18.2 Enhances AirPods with ChatGPT
When your AirPods are paired with a compatible iPhone or iPad running iOS 18.2 or iPadOS 18.2, you can still call on Siri like always.
On newer iPhones, this simply entails saying, ‘Siri.’
Next, you can say, ‘ask ChatGPT…’
This process is quite simple, but it becomes even more impressive with follow-up questions.
Following ChatGPT’s reply to your inquiry, Siri will listen for additional requests, eliminating the need to repeat, ‘Siri, ask ChatGPT’ each time.
You can seamlessly provide a follow-up question or another unrelated request, and Siri will understand your intent to continue conversing with ChatGPT.
If you have a ChatGPT Plus account, you can leverage its advanced voice mode for a more lifelike interaction.
Overall, this integration is exceptionally smooth and truly feels like entering the cutting-edge realm of Her with your AirPods.
Experiencing AirPods with ChatGPT: The Future Is Here
While you can utilize ChatGPT interactions through Siri and Apple Intelligence without AirPods, all these functionalities are accessible via your iPhone or iPad, or other headphone models in many instances.
However, engaging in this experience with AirPods offers a glimpse into the future, providing yet another reason to keep AirPods in use as much as possible.
