Apple has been reportedly working to add hearing related functionality to AirPods. These may include Live Listen and Conversation Boost features.
Although these features are yet to be approved by the FDA, Gurman adds. Previously, a report said that the AirPods may function as an alternative for hearing aids.
The company is reportedly planning to add features like biometric sensors, motion detectors, temperature monitors to detect heart rate and perspiration to AirPods.
Kevin Lynch – Vice President of Technology, has previously hinted at more health data coming to the device. According to reputed Apple analyst Ming Chi Kuo, Apple may not upgrade its AirPods lineup until next year.
