AirPods Pro 3: three revolutionary functions are in Apple's pipeline
According to Mark Gurman, who always hits the nail on the head when it comes to the Apple brand, the AirPods Pro 3 would be the next audio product to see the light of day at Apple. While we should of course not expect an imminent release, the Bloomberg journalist sheds light on several features previously only considered as rumors.
Beyond a stylistic update and better noise reduction, mentioned by Gurman a few months agothe future AirPods Pro 3 would give pride of place to health functions. Allowing the user to monitor their health on a daily basis seems to be Apple's new objective, which has recently injected a complete hearing aid solution within AirPods Pro 2.
Temperature and heart rate measurements for 2025?
In his latest newsletter, the American journalist reveals that Apple is developing two new sensors dedicated to health. One would measure the heart rate, while another would take care of the body temperature. They would be respectively dedicated to sports monitoring and the detection of a possible viral infection.
If Apple would still be “at first” of the development of these technologies, they would already follow the performance of those implemented within the Apple Watch. Indeed, Gurman mentions that tests carried out by Apple would have shown slightly less precise results on the earphone side. We can however imagine a launch within two years maximum, given that the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 planned for 2025 will be the first Apple headphones to integrate a heart rate measurement sensor.
Built-in cameras to assist AI functions
To our great astonishment, the Bloomberg journalist also confirmed that the deployment of cameras in future AirPods Pro 3 could well be a reality. Beyond the ability to take photos or videos, this functionality would allow the headphones to better understand the environment the user is in in order to improve the effectiveness of future artificial intelligence functions.
If the available information stops there, we can be sure that Apple will be a leader with its new health functions. As usual, the competition should follow the trend to the point where this type of solution establishes itself as a new standard.
