Apple is reportedly adding new health tracking features to its next-generation AirPods Pro. The popular earbuds could soon include sensors for heart rate and temperature monitoring, bringing them closer to the health-focused features already seen in Apple’s other products like the Apple Watch. In this article, we will discuss furthermore about the upcoming AirPods Pro.
Apple AirPods Pro Rumors
A new invention?
While the new health-tracking capabilities might sound exciting, a quick reminder that these features aren’t really a new invention. Many other earbuds already include similar sensors. For instance, brands like Sennheiser and Jabra have already incorporated heart rate sensors in their earbuds, and some models even offer temperature monitoring. The Soundcore Liberty 4, the one I own, also includes heart rate sensors and works well in tracking health metrics. Apple is simply following the trend and bringing these features to its AirPods Pro lineup.
Health Sensors in the AirPods Pro
The AirPods Pro are rumored to include sensors for heart rate and temperature mapping. These updates align with Apple’s broader focus on expanding health tracking across its devices. Meanwhile, Apple has also reportedly revisited the idea of adding a camera to the AirPods. With Apple’s artificial intelligence in play, AI could also be a key focus for this product line. However, there are no confirmed details on when these features will launch or if additional health-related functionalities will be included.
Apple AirPods Pro Availability
The upcoming earbuds will likely launch around this time next year.
