Apple is reportedly working on the next generation of its wireless earbuds, the AirPods Pro 3, with a focus on enhanced health monitoring features and the potential addition of camera integration.
Initially reported by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, these cameras may facilitate enhanced spatial audio experiences and gesture controls in the upcoming version of AirPods. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that the tech giant from Cupertino is still exploring the possibility of incorporating cameras into additional future AirPods models.
Next generation product development will integrate heart rate and body temperature tracking technology to maintain Apple’s dedication to bringing health monitoring features to their devices. AirPods users may need to wear both earpieces for the tech giant to collect heart rate accuracy data from multiple sensors.
Rumors suggest that the AirPods Pro 3 could feature minuscule cameras in addition to its health monitoring functions. Embedded cameras could double as infrared sensors to mimic the iPhone Face ID system and provide enhanced spatial audio when connected to Apple Vision Pro. The cameras could serve as specialized controllers for “in-air gestures” to enable users to interact differently with their devices.
AirPods Pro 3 Release Date
While the exact release date remains unconfirmed, reports suggest that mass production of the AirPods Pro 3 may commence in 2026, with a potential market launch in 2027.
