I love my AirPods, best product Apple has released in years. But I’d need a lot more than just Hey Siri to upgrade to gen 2. Don’t need or want the health tracking, but waterproof would be great.
Got a tip for us?

I wish they’d offer AirPods 2 in some more color options. Fingers crossed for that.
I don’t know if that video is proof of Hey Siri coming. They also showcased teleportation as a watch feature.
I don't understand what this means. If they are talking through the phone, how come they don't just use the hey siri in the phone?
The white is iconic. They may not want to deviate from that for branding purposes.
Bull! Siri still sucks! Try real life quiries, I can’t stand Siri results. Also, google search results far exceed siri’a Default search results.
Lastly, Siri is such a joke, try it’s translation for a good laugh. I always get, sorry, can’t translate that from Canadian English. google has no issue with it....
And when you switch to American English (which is the exact same), the translations are horrible!
Do you work for Apple?
Give me 3 specific examples why she sucks.
I just tried translation to Chinese and Japanese. Flawless.
Hope they will introduce "pairing/locking" AirPods with iCloud account - could provide some way to inform "new owner" how to return them back to the rightful owner.
That baffles me too, the audio input goes right to the phone — why not process it there?
Apple has consistently raised prices on every device over the last few years when they have updated them. Examples include MacBook Pro (2016), iPhone (2017), iPad Pro, MacBook Air and Mac Mini (2018). While the AirPods are an accessory and might be treated differently (when they launched they were actually price-competitive with other true wireless earbuds), I am 100% certain they will see a price increase.
Is it really strange that people use different things that work better for them in one way or another and might be different from what someone else finds as being good for them? Fairly basic reality in play.
They wont. It's a one size fits all! Shrink your ears or use fillers/paddings for better fitment!
I don’t think Apple with add a lightning port on the AirPods case but I just hope the included cable is a USB-C to Lightning and not the USB-A. But I guess the new setup process definitely means there’s hope for the new AirPods and possibly AirPower releasing very soon!
Sure, but they survived tests of washing in machine and being submerged in a tank for 30 mins. How much more "water proof" do you want them to be? Surely you don't expect to take them diving...
Now that I think about it I don’t think I ever used Siri via my AirPods. It just seems too silly doing it outside where people can hear you
I think they won't.
Not that I care, I only seldom use Siri and double tapping on one of them is fine.
Noise cancellation?? With earbuds? There is no isolation so the noise will just go around. These are not the Apple in-ears with the rubber isolation.
Use it all the time. Put on Airpods, wait for the familiar “ding”, double tap to activate Siri, “Call home” or some other command.
I'm still wondering how this communication with Apple's Siri is supposed to work in families where one of the family members are named Siri. Could lead to some confusion...
”Hey Siri”
”Yes?”
”Yes?”
”Hey Siri”
”Yes?”
”Yes?”
