For a long time there were rumors that the AirPods Pro 2 could measure your body temperature or heart rate. Apple expert Mark Gurman now says that the AirPods Pro 2 will not get these cool functions.
AirPods Pro 2: no new cool functions
In recent months, there have been more and more rumors that the AirPods Pro 2 can measure your body temperature. In addition, they were also told that it will be possible for the earplugs to check your heart rate.
Reliable Apple expert Mark Gurman is not so sure. According to him, it is very unlikely that these rumors are true. He also says that these functions are certainly not available in the short term. There is some good news, because in his newsletter he says that both functions have been looked at by Apple and will be available someday.
AirPods Pro 2: Rumors
According to the website 52audio, the AirPods Pro 2 would not only get functions to measure body temperature. According to the rumor, a heart rate monitor will also be in the AirPods Pro 2.
In addition, the website also says that the earplugs can be used as a hearing aid. The charging case would contain a microphone on the side to pick up sound and then make it sound amplified on the earbuds themselves.
The box is also rumored to have a small speaker. Handy if you regularly lose your charging box, because you can then locate it again via the Search My app by playing a sound. The website also thinks that the box will have a USB-C connection instead of Lightning.
All these new features for the AirPods Pro 2 all sound nice and nice. But now that Mark Gurman has said that the AirPods Pro 2 can’t measure body temperature or heart rate, the question remains whether the other functions will become available.
The first AirPods Pro appeared in 2019 and Apple has only given the charging box a small update after that. It now also supports wireless charging with Magafe.
