Apple’s iOS 12.2 reveals that AirPods 2 are on the way

Apple’s next-gen Airpods are one of those devices that have been making rounds on the web in the form of rumours since last year. Although we still don’t have any concrete information about the wireless earbuds, a new report has revealed one of the features of the accessory. It is also one of the most obvious ones – an easier way to activate Siri.
The setup is not visible to public beta testers. Currently only the Apple iPhone and the iPad can be woken up with a Hey Siri command, the AirPods need a tap before you start speaking.
Apple released the AirPods in 2016 and we’ve been waiting for a second generation since, but all we got was a minor price cut.
Now we knot the rumors of the AirPods 2 coming in early 2019 are likely true. They should come with a case that can be wirelessly charged and some fitness tracking features. Others suggested an entirely revamped design is coming with generation three in 2020, but let’s take these one at a time.
