Chapter 1: AirPods Pro 2 and the Heart Rate Sensor
Recent reports indicate that Apple’s upcoming AirPods Pro 2 will not include the long-anticipated heart rate sensor. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has confirmed that this feature will not be part of the new model, despite earlier speculation.
Section 1.1: The Initial Hopes
A report from 52audio, known for its audio-related leaks, suggested that the new AirPods Pro 2 would come equipped with a heart rate sensor. However, Gurman has refuted these claims, stating there won't be such an integration in this year's release.
According to Gurman, while the heart rate sensor won't debut this year, Apple is likely investigating this technology for future models. He noted, “In recent months, there have been speculations regarding the upcoming model's ability to monitor heart rate or body temperature. However, I’ve been informed that neither feature is expected in this year's upgrade, although both possibilities are under consideration within the company.”

Chapter 2: Apple Watch Processor Updates
The second video discusses the process of pairing AirPods Pro with the Apple Watch Ultra 2, showcasing the seamless integration of Apple’s ecosystem.
As per Gurman’s analysis, Apple does not intend to upgrade the Apple Watch processor this year, which may surprise some. This decision mirrors last year's strategy, where the anticipated redesign failed to materialize, and older components were recycled.
