AirPods Pro 2: New Features
AirPods Pro 2 has combined features of AirPods and AirPods Pro. This time the new earbuds are offering sound cavity tuning holes and
microphones similar to AirPods 3 and the same pressure-sensitive buttons as the current AirPods Pro. The earbuds will be powered by the H1 SoC, which includes features like self-adaptive active noise cancellation and an upgraded Find My function. The Find My app will be able to locate the earbuds if they have enabled the right Find My settings. This will be further helped by the in-built speakers on the AirPods case.
The AirPods Pro 2 is also said to come with a heart tracker that will analyze data from the inner ear and monitor the heart rate and body temperature. There are also rumors regarding the hearing aid function in AirPods Pro 2. This will allow users with hearing problems to use their earbuds as hearing aid.
