Apple may introduce a new hearing mode for AirPods Pro users in upcoming update.
AirPods Pro users may get new features with a new update from Apple, according to the latest report from Bloomberg. The company is expected to offer these Pro users a new hearing mode compatible with the upcoming iOS 18 version for iPhone users.
The report also mentions that the AirPods Pro won’t have major hardware changes, but buyers can expect some software additions that could improve the device’s user experience.
AirPods Pro seems like a logical choice for Apple to update and expand its health features. When you wear AirPods, you can easily read health information through your ears and use sound waves to cover and monitor other aspects of your health as well, all the way to your iPhone.
It’s interesting that the feature update might come with iOS 18, and we’ll know more about the feature during the WWDC 2024 keynote, which happens around June every year. The company also has big plans to change the way AirPods are used, and could even have a camera built into the device, at least that’s what some recent patent filings have suggested.
Apple introduced a new AirPods Pro model with the launch of the iPhone 15 series in 2023, but the only major update was a USB C port for charging. The company has already started the year with a major MacBook Air update, which includes a new 15-inch model.
Apple is also expected to launch an updated iPad Air and Pro collection in the coming weeks. The next iPhone SE model is expected to borrow its design from the iPhone 14 model, marking the end of the popular home button across the entire range of iPhones available to consumers.
