In 2022, there was already talk of a heart rate measurement feature for Apple's AirPods headphones. It could finally arrive on the AirPods Pro 3 according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

He specifies that the technology is still in the development phase and that it would be used for both sports and health, without requiring an Apple Watch. According to internal tests, the measurement would remain more accurate with the Apple Watch connected watch, but the AirPods would not be far away.
Other rumors claim that the Apple Powerbeats Pro 2 vintage 2025 will also benefit from this feature for sports. Mark Gurman adds that in the long term, the AirPods will also be equipped with cameras to access features related to artificial intelligence. A priority project for Apple but which would not come to fruition for a few years.
