The leak: Loads of new details about Apple’s upcoming AirPods Pro 2 headphones have been shared online, according to 52audio (83.3% accurate, source).
Here is everything that’s coming later this year…
- While we see a similar design for the AirPods Pro buds, there are major changes to the case…including a microphone (and speaker for Find My)
- There’s also new integration for hearing aids with the case, but the details on how exactly this feature works are fuzzy
- USB-C will finally replace the Lighting port, too
- There’s a new heart rate sensor inside AirPods Pro 2 that can, well, measure your heart rate…but the report also suggests that this same sensor could also be cable of measuring your body temperature
- Sound quality is said to be the same as AirPods 3, but of course with the addition of active noise cancellation (ANC)
Sam’s take: Wow. These are going to be an absolutely killer upgrade. I see why it has been 3 years since AirPods Pro were last updated. I’m fascinated to know how the heart rate/temperature sensor is going to work on these…
