Apple is rumored to be upgrading AirPods with health-tracking features within the next year or two.

According to The reports, Apple has been mulling incorporating health-related capabilities into its AirPods for years.

This is finally happening, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

Gurman believes that the iPhone maker might “upgrade the AirPods to become a health tool in the next year or two” and that they might even “come with the ability to get hearing data of some sort”.

It was claimed in 2020 that Apple planned to include ambient light sensors in future generations of AirPods to collect data such as blood oxygen level and heart rate.

Later in 2021, another source stated that Apple was looking towards new health-focused capabilities for its AirPods.

Meanwhile, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in January that the tech giant would begin bulk shipments of next-generation AirPods, which might cost $99, and new AirPods Max in the second half of next year or the early part of 2025.
