Apple is reportedly working on a new version of its AirPods Pro that will come with a number of new features, including the ability to check your hearing health and take your temperature.
The new AirPods Pro are expected to feature a built-in microphone and temperature sensor, which would allow them to measure your heart rate and body temperature. The earbuds would also reportedly be able to track your activity levels and sleep patterns.
The hearing health features would be based on Apple’s existing hearing test app, which uses the microphone on your iPhone to measure your hearing. The new AirPods Pro would use the same technology to provide a more accurate and comprehensive hearing test.
The temperature sensor would be used to track your body temperature, which could be useful for monitoring your health during illness or infection. The sensor could also be used to track your menstrual cycle or fertility.
The new AirPods Pro are also expected to come with a number of other improvements, including a longer battery life and a new design. The earbuds are expected to be released later this year.
