Apple is working on the next generation of AirPods Pro, and they may come with some new health features, according to Bloombergand Mark Gurman. In in the press this weekend, Gurman says that Apple has been experimenting with things like temperature and heart rate monitoring in the ears. So far, Apple has found that the Apple Watch is still doing better, but the AirPods are “not far behind” in their reading, he writes.

The company has reportedly revived its idea of ​​putting cameras in AirPods, a rumor we’ve heard several times over the past year. According to Gurman, Apple now considers it “important” because it helps boost its AI operations. But, it could be years before any AirPods with a camera go into production. As for the heart rate monitor, this can be seen soon. Gurman writes, “It is possible that the next generation of AirPods Pro is ready, which is moving forward.”
