Foreign magazine 9to5mac namely, he discovered a hidden section in the system, with which the "Hey Siri" function will be set on the new generation of headphones. It is the ability to activate the assistant through the headphones without the need to use a double-tap gesture that should be one of the main innovations of the second generation of AirPods, and Apple itself subtly demonstrated during the premiere of the new iPhones in September last year.
