A report claims that Apple ’s second-generation AirPods Pro will not include any fitness tracking features, and the next version is more likely to focus on providing audio-related technology improvements rather than health-related features. Rumors surrounding the AirPods Pro 2 occasionally involve Apple adding some form of fitness tracking functionality to the personal audio device. According to previous rumors, this premium headset may gain body temperature and heart rate monitoring elements.

now believes that the fitness feature will not necessarily appear in the 2022 update. In Bloomberg's Power On newsletter on Sunday, Mark Gurman wrote that a 2022 AirPods Pro update is "unlikely to get heart rate monitoring." A model will definitely launch later in 2022, and Gurman speculates that battery wear on the original model may prompt users to upgrade.

When discussing rumors about the ability to monitor the wearer's heart rate or body temperature, Gurman was told that "neither feature is likely to appear in a 2022 upgrade." Although unlikely to surface, Gurman added that both enhancements "have been discussed within the company and may one day arrive."

Other rumors about the AirPods Pro 2 suggest that new features may include a microphone in the charging case, hearing aid functionality, and speakers on the case that work with the Find My network to emit sound.
