AirPods Pro 3 with heart rate measurement, still far away?

The AirPods Pro 3 may not arrive as quickly as we thought until now: according to Mark Gurman on Bloomberg, these future models would still be “at the beginning of development. » There was until now talk of a launch at the beginning of 2025, but these new statements tell us that we will probably have to wait much longer.

Mark Gurman had already mentioned “an updated design” without giving details on the expected developments, and an improvement in noise reduction technology. The journalist adds that Apple would plan to integrate technology to measure the user's heart rate, specifying that the current prototypes would not be as precise as the Apple Watch but that they would not be “not very far.” » We have already found traces of this technology in the sources of iOS 18, but it is the Powerbeats Pro 2 already pre-announced by Apple which should benefit from it first.

Longer term, Apple would also like to integrate cameras into the stem of the AirPods, which would enable artificial intelligence features based on the user's environment. According to Mark Gurman, Apple had already experimented with this idea a few years ago but the project was then canceled. Back on the drawing board, it would now be considered a priority with a release hoped for within two years. Other sensors would be tested in the Cupertino laboratories, including a thermometer and “technology that tracks a multitude of physiological measurements. »

While waiting for the arrival of the AirPods Pro 3, the AirPods Pro 2 which are officially sold at €279 on the Apple Store regularly benefit from substantial discounts at resellers, most of the time at €219, for example at Amazon or at Fnac. Availability is more uncertain, but it is often possible to go even further with a price around €199 at Amazon Italy.
