Apple’s next AirPods Pro may include health-tracking features

Apple's next AirPods Pro may feature heart rate and temperature tracking, and there are long-term plans for AI-enhanced camera integration.

Apple is developing the next generation of Pro, and new health-related features might be coming. According to Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter for Bloomberg, these premium earbuds could come equipped with heart rate monitoring and temperature sensing capabilities, a move that signals Apple’s increasing focus on wearable health technology.

AirPods Pro as health companions

The next AirPods Pro could track your heart rate and even your body temperature. Gurman reports that Apple has been testing these features for some time now. While the Apple Watch remains the superior device for such readings, the AirPods are not far behind in accuracy. This could mean you’ll soon have another device in Apple’s ecosystem helping you monitor your health.

Adding temperature sensing would mark another significant step for the AirPods Pro, especially as wearable tech becomes more integrated into everyday health tracking. However, it’s still unclear whether these features will be ready when the next AirPods Pro launches as Apple continues its development and testing phases.

A future with camera-equipped AirPods?

Another surprising detail is Apple’s renewed interest in incorporating cameras into AirPods. This idea has been circulating in rumours for over a year, and it seems the company is now treating it as a priority. Gurman suggests this innovation ties into Apple’s broader push to enhance its capabilities.

However, you may need to be patient if you want to see camera-equipped AirPods soon. Gurman predicts that such a groundbreaking addition is still years away from reality. In contrast, the heart rate monitoring feature appears closer to completion and could debut in the next AirPods Pro release.

What does this mean for the next AirPods Pro?

The next AirPods Pro will remain in the early stages of development, but it could offer features that blend convenience with health awareness. Whether you’re tracking your heart rate during exercise or keeping an eye on your body temperature, these updates could make the AirPods Pro more than just a premium audio device.

While Apple has not officially confirmed any details, these upgrades suggest an exciting future for the AirPods lineup. As competition in the wearable tech space grows, Apple seems determined to keep its products at the forefront of innovation.
