- A new leak claims that a future model of Apple’s AirPods will have ambient light sensors that might be used to monitor the health of the user in real-time.
- According to the leak, Apple will incorporate these sensors into AirPods within the next two years.
- Apple was previously rumored to be working on health monitoring features for the AirPods.
Despite the ongoing threat of the novel coronavirus, Apple is having an especially busy 2020. In March, both the iPad Pro and the MacBook Air lines were refreshed. Then in April, the second-generation iPhone SE made its long-awaited debut. May isn’t quite over yet, but we’ve already seen a new 13-inch MacBook Pro that features a redesigned Magic Keyboard and twice the storage space of its predecessor. And that’s to say nothing of the iPhone 12 line set to arrive this fall, which is said to be made up of four distinct models, all with OLED displays and 5G support.
One of the few product lines we haven’t heard much about is the company’s premium headphones. Apple introduced its AirPods Pro last fall, and although rumors about new models and hardware updates have cropped up online every few weeks, the timing of the next AirPods launch has yet to be nailed down. Based on new reports from DigiTimes, that might have something to do with the major upgrades Apple is planning for the product.
