We knowAppleis working onAirPods Pro 2wireless earbuds for launch later this year, and for Apple fans they’re likely to be thebest wireless earbudsaround. TheAirPods 3rd Genclosed the gap between Apple’s cheapest and Apple’sbest true wireless earbudsso I’ve been hoping for some significant upgrades to the more expensive AirPods this year, and if the rumour factory can believed it looks like I’m going to get my wish.
The latestAirPodsPro 2 rumours come from 52Audio viaMacRumors, and while most of the features have already been reported there are some interesting new details. 52Audio has a hit and miss record when it comes to Apple leaks, but while you should always take rumors with a big pinch of salt nothing here seems particularly unlikely to me.
Here’s what I hope we’ll get later this year.
AirPods Pro 2: what new features to expect
We’ve heard rumours of health sensors for some time now, and this latest report suggests there will be body temperature detection and heart rate detection to feed data to Apple’s Health app.
The two biggest upgrades as far as I’m concerned are the audio ones. The AirPods Pro 2 will apparently share some acoustic characteristics with the excellent-sounding AirPods 3rd Gen, with a “combination of customized high-amplitude drive units and high-dynamic-range amplifiers.” And most interestingly of all, you’ll be able to use your AirPods Pro 2 as hearing aids. As someone who’s blown out half their hearing over decades of standing too close to amplifiers, that’s something I find really interesting: it’s difficult for me to hear speech in busy environments so if the AirPods Pro 2 can help with that Apple might as well take my money now.
