They're not. They're doing it through the OS.

    what are they sending though? if it's something like "the os potentially listens to you, except through headsets too" then it's not really news that wouldn't apply to most phones or headsets sold. a wired earphone could do that.

    "Most phones or headsets sold" need a third party app to gather any information. The point here is that Apple doesn't require that because all of those communications are built into the operating system.

    They cannot gather information without an app. There's no other mechanism for them to do so.
