The latest update for AirPods Pro 2 introduces significant enhancements, including Hearing Aid, Hearing Test, and Hearing Protection features. However, for many users, the transformative capabilities of Apple’s recent iOS update stem from a crucial Apple Intelligence enhancement. Here’s how iOS 18.2 elevates AirPods functionality to new heights.
ChatGPT Integration with Siri is Revolutionary
Apple Intelligence made its debut in iOS 18.1, but several eagerly awaited features have just been released with iOS 18.2.
Among these features is the integration of ChatGPT with Siri.
Having tested this AI functionality in beta for several months, I see tremendous potential for users, particularly when engaging with AirPods.
Initially, it appeared that ChatGPT could only assist with specific requests. Apple indicated that Siri would excel at personal inquiries, while ChatGPT would handle broader questions.
However, the first iOS 18.2 beta revealed that you can utilize ChatGPT for any Siri request.
Simply begin with ‘Ask ChatGPT’ before your Siri command, and it will forward your query directly to ChatGPT.
This creates a voice interaction experience reminiscent of the film Her, featuring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson.
The AirPods Experience with ChatGPT in iOS 18.2
When your AirPods are connected to an iPhone or iPad compatible with iOS 18.2 or iPadOS 18.2, you can easily activate Siri as usual.
On recent iPhones, this means simply saying, ‘Siri.’
Then, you can follow up with, ‘ask ChatGPT…’
This interaction flow is streamlined. However, it becomes even more user-friendly with follow-up inquiries.
After ChatGPT provides a response, Siri continues to listen for a short time in case you have follow-up questions. There’s no need to repeat, ‘Siri, ask ChatGPT’ again.
Instead, you can ask additional questions or submit a new request, and Siri will understand that you wish to keep the dialogue with ChatGPT going.
If you hold a ChatGPT Plus subscription, you can interact with ChatGPT’s advanced voice capabilities for a more realistic conversation.
All of these features integrate smoothly, creating an experience that truly feels like entering the Her era for AirPods.
The Future of AirPods with ChatGPT
While you can engage with ChatGPT through Siri and Apple Intelligence on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac—with or without headphones—the experience with AirPods feels particularly innovative. It offers yet another compelling reason to keep your AirPods in use as frequently as possible.
