Powerbeats Pro 2 Leak Hints at Useful Health Feature Coming to AirPods
Apple plans to add more health-related features to future AirPods models, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, and the upcoming Powerbeats Pro 2 might offer a hint.
We previously reported that the Powerbeats Pro 2 will offer heart rate monitoring during workouts, and perhaps that feature will extend to AirPods in the future. Based on our iOS 18 code findings, you will be able to connect the Powerbeats Pro 2 to gym equipment like a treadmill to measure heart rate, and the data will be visible in the Health app and other supported apps on the iPhone. Apple previously announced that the Powerbeats Pro 2 will be released in 2025, and AirPods Pro 3 are also rumored to launch next year.
Heart rate monitoring has in fact been rumored for the AirPods Pro multiple times, but the feature has yet to come to fruition. With the feature now seemingly ready for Powerbeats Pro 2, though, it could finally come to AirPods too.
AirPods are also rumored to gain body temperature sensing in the future, after the Apple Watch Series 8 and newer gained a wrist temperature feature.Related Roundups: AirPods 4, AirPods ProTag: Powerbeats ProBuyer’s Guide: AirPods (Buy Now), AirPods Pro (Neutral)Related Forum: AirPodsThis article, “Powerbeats Pro 2 Leak Hints at Useful Health Feature Coming to AirPods” first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
